Daniel Radcliffe spoke in an interview opening up about using alcohol to cope with his fears of a dwindling career.
The pressures of fame led him to turn to alcohol as a release. "I would have benefited from not drinking alcohol as it was not making me as happy as I wanted it to," Radcliffe said in the interview with Sky Arts to be released within this year, according to Entertainment Wise.
Being a child star in the Potter series made Radcliffe uneasy that he would end up like the majority of youngsters who grow up to lose their acting careers, ending up on a "Where are they now?" list, as he described.
Although, Radcliffe has starred in Broadway productions, as well as horror movie The Woman in Black.
Daniel expressed his thankfulness that people no longer call to him as Harry Potter, but as actor Daniel Radcliffe.
He went on to explain how he is not ashamed of his role as a prodigal wizard. "I will always credit the opportunities I get to Harry Potter," he said, Contact Music reported. "I would not be a happy person if I was bitter about those ten years of my life."
Daniel is signed on to act in Brooklyn Bridge, a true-events film about the bridge's construction, according to Entertainment Weekly. Radcliffe is also still doing Broadway productions, and was in romantic comedy The F Word and horror filmHorns.
