Actor Daniel Radcliffe is taking a month-long break after suffering from exhaustion.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is taking a break after finishing the play The Cripple Of Inishmaan.

In an interview with The Daily Star, Radcliffe admits that he needs to take it easy.

"I do need a break – doing Cripple was amazing but the last month was slightly exhausting," Radcliffe said. "I need to get some proper down time, I do need time off but the truth is I’m a workaholic."

As for how long of a break Radcliffe will take, we can expect him to be out of the spotlight for almost a month.

"I've got three weeks off in October and I’m going to bum around New York and see some shows," Radcliffe said.

The Telegraph reported that Radcliffe is often running out of the theater after performances and didn't bother removing his make-up.

Radcliffe is rumored to replace Sacha Baron Cohen in the role as Freddie Mercury biopic, and is also working on a second series of the Young Doctor's Notebook.

Radcliffe is happy to leave his Harry Potter role behind.

"I’m glad to be slowly but surely leaving my Harry Potter days behind," Radcliffe said. "It’s a long process but I’m getting there."
