Daniel Jacob Radcliffe (born 23 July 1989) is an English actor. He rose to fame at age twelve, when he began portraying Harry Potter in the film series of the same name. Over his career, Radcliffe has received various awards and nominations.

Radcliffe made his acting debut at age 10 in the BBC One television film David Copperfield (1999), followed by his feature film debut in The Tailor of Panama (2001). The same year, he starred as Harry Potter in the film adaptation of the J.K. Rowling fantasy novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Over the next decade, he played the eponymous role in seven sequels, culminating with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011). During this period, he became one of the world’s highest-paid actors and gained worldwide fame, popularity, and critical acclaim.

Following the success of Harry Potter, Radcliffe challenged himself acting in a variety of genres such as the romantic comedy What If? (2013), the horror films The Woman in Black (2012) and Victor Frankenstein (2015), the comedy-drama film Swiss Army Man (2016), the heist thriller film Now You See Me 2 (2016), and the action comedy The Lost City (2022). He earned critical acclaim for his portrayals of poet Allen Ginsberg in the drama film Kill Your Darlings (2013), FBI agent Nate Foster in the thriller film Imperium (2016), and Weird Al Yankovic in the comedy Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) earning a Critics’ Choice Television Award for the latter. Since 2019, he has starred in the TBS anthology series Miracle Workers.

Radcliffe branched out to stage acting in 2007, starring in the West End and Broadway productions of Equus. From 2011 to 2012 he portrayed J. Pierrepont Finch in the Broadway revival of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. He continued in Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy The Cripple of Inishmaan (2013–2014) in the West End and Broadway and a revival of Tom Stoppard’s play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (2017) at The Old Vic. He also starred in the satirical plays Privacy (2016) and The Lifespan of a Fact (2018), respectively off and on Broadway. In 2022, he starred in the New York Theatre Workshop revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along.

Radcliffe has contributed to many charities, including Demelza Hospice Care for Children and the Trevor Project; the latter awarded him its Hero Award in 2011.

Early life

Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital in Hammersmith, London, England^[3] on 23 July 1989,^[4] the only child of Marcia Jeannine Gresham (née Jacobson)^[5][6] and literary agent Alan George Radcliffe.^[7] His Jewish mother was born in South Africa, traces her ancestry to Jewish immigrants from Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and Russia,^[8][9][10] and was raised in the English town of Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex.^{[11][12][13][14][15]} His Northern Irish father was raised in a «very working-class» Protestant family in Banbridge in County Down.^[16][17] In 2019, he explored both sides of his family history in the BBC genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?^[18]
[a] Radcliffe’s parents had both acted as children.^[19][20] As a casting agent, his mother has been involved in BBC productions such as The Inspector Lynley Mysteries.^[5][6][7]

Radcliffe was educated at three independent schools for boys in London: Redcliffe School,^[21] Sussex House School,^[22][23] and the City of London School.^[24] After the release of the first Harry Potter film, attending school proved difficult for him as some fellow pupils became hostile, though he states that they were just trying to «have a crack at the kid that plays Harry Potter» rather than acting out of jealousy.^[25] As his acting career began to consume his schedule, he continued his education through on-set tutors. He has admitted to not being a very good student, considering school useless and finding the work «really difficult».^[22] He achieved A grades in the three AS level exams that he took in 2006, but decided to take a break from education and did not attend university.^[26][27] Part of his reasoning was that he already knew he wanted to be an actor and screenwriter, and that it would be difficult to have a normal college experience.^[25]

Career

1999–2001: Acting debut and early career

Radcliffe first expressed a desire to act at age five.^[28] After one of his mother’s casting agent friends secured him an audition, he made his acting debut at age ten in BBC One’s two-part adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield (1999),^[29] portraying the title character as a young boy.^[30] He made his film debut in The Tailor of Panama (2001), an American film based on John le Carré’s 1996 spy novel, which was a moderate commercial success.^[31]

2001–2011: Stardom with Harry Potter

In 2000, producer David Heyman met Radcliffe while he was at the theatre with his father, a well-known literary agent who Heyman was friends with.^[32][33] He asked him to audition for the role of Harry Potter for the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the best-selling book by British author J. K. Rowling.^[33][34] Rowling had been searching for an unknown British actor to personify the character, and the film’s director Chris Columbus recalled thinking, «This is what I want. This is Harry Potter» after he saw a video of the young actor in David Copperfield.^[35] Eight months later, following several auditions, Radcliffe was selected to play the part.^[36] Rowling endorsed the selection, saying: «I don’t think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry.»^[37] Radcliffe’s parents originally turned down the offer, as they had been told that it would involve six films shot in Los Angeles.^[38] Warner Bros. instead offered Radcliffe a two-film contract with shooting in the UK;^[35] Radcliffe was unsure at the time if he would act in more than two Harry Potter films.^[39]

The release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone took place in 2001. Radcliffe received a seven-figure salary for the lead role, but asserted that the fee was «not that important» to him;^[40] his parents chose to invest the money for him.^[35] The film was highly popular and was met with positive reviews, and critics took notice of Radcliffe:^[41] «Radcliffe is the embodiment of every reader’s imagination. It is wonderful to see a young hero who is so scholarly looking and filled with curiosity and who connects with very real emotions, from solemn intelligence and the delight of discovery to deep family longing,» wrote Bob Graham of the San Francisco Chronicle.^[42]

A year later, Radcliffe starred in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second instalment of the series. Reviewers were positive about the lead actors’ performances but had polarising opinions on the film overall. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) was the third film in the series. Radcliffe’s performance was criticised by The New York Times film critic A. O. Scott, who felt that co-star Emma Watson had to carry him with her performance.^[43] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) was the second-highest grossing Harry Potter film at that point,^[44] and Radcliffe singled out the humour as a reason for the film’s creative success.^[45]

The future of the franchise was put into question when Radcliffe, Watson, and co-star Rupert Grint hesitated to sign on to continue their roles. By March 2007, however, Radcliffe had signed for the final Harry Potter films; his signing put an end to weeks of press «speculation that he would be denied the role due to his involvement in Equus«, in which he had performed nude onstage.^[46] Radcliffe reprised the role of Harry for the fifth time in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007). Radcliffe stated that director David Yates and co-star Imelda Staunton made Order of the Phoenix the «most fun» film to work on in the series.^[47] His performance earned him several award nominations, and he received the 2008 National Movie Award for «Best Male Performance».^[48] Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson left imprints of their hands, feet, and wands in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.^[49] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the series’ sixth instalment, was released in July 2009. Radcliffe received nominations for «Best Male Performance» and «Global Superstar» at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.^[50]

For financial and scripting reasons, the last Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) was divided into two films that were shot back-to-back.^[51][52] This decision drew criticism from the series’ fans, but Radcliffe defended the split, stating that it would have been impossible to properly adapt the final novel into a single film.^[53][54]

The two-film finale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2, was released in November 2010 and July 2011, respectively. While Deathly Hallows – Part 1 grossed $960 million, Deathly Hallows – Part 2 grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide; as of May 2019, it was the 11th-highest-grossing film of all time. Deathly Hallows – Part 2 was critically acclaimed, as was Radcliffe’s performance; Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post asked, «Who could have predicted that Radcliffe, Grint and Watson would turn out to be good actors»?^[55][41] Critic Rex Reed remarked, «Frankly, I’m sorry to see [Radcliffe] go»;^[56] Roger Ebert gave the film a highly positive review, but felt that Radcliffe, Grint and Watson were «upstaged by the supporting [actors].»^[57]

Radcliffe acknowledged that some people would never be able to separate him from the Harry Potter character; however, he has said he is «proud to be associated with this film series forever.»^[58] Despite positive feelings about the films, he has no interest in doing more Harry Potter films. After Rowling hinted about writing an eighth book, Radcliffe was asked if he would do another Harry Potter film, to which he replied, «[It is] very doubtful. I think 10 years is a long time to spend with one character».^[59] Despite devoting so much time to the series, Radcliffe has asserted that he did not miss out on a childhood like other child actors, remarking, «I’ve been given a much better perspective on life by doing Potter.»^[60]

2002–2008: West End and Broadway Theatre debut

In 2002, Radcliffe made his stage debut as a celebrity guest in a West End production of The Play What I Wrote, directed by Kenneth Branagh—who also appeared with him in the second Harry Potter film.^[30][61] He appeared in the film December Boys, an Australian family drama about four orphans that was shot in 2005 and released to theaters in mid-September 2007.^[62] On 13 April 2006, a portrait of Radcliffe by Stuart Pearson Wright was unveiled as part of a new exhibition opening at the National Theatre, before being moved to the National Portrait Gallery.^[63]

In 2007, Radcliffe co-starred with Carey Mulligan in My Boy Jack, a television drama film shown on ITV. The film received mostly positive reviews,^[64] with several critics praising Radcliffe’s performance as an eighteen-year-old who goes missing in action during a battle.^[65][66][67] Radcliffe stated, «For many people my age, the First World War is just a topic in a history book. But I’ve always been fascinated by the subject and think it’s as relevant today as it ever was.»^[68] Later that year, he published several poems under the pen name Jacob Gershon—a combination of his middle name and the Hebrew version of his mother’s maiden name Gresham—in the underground fashion magazine Rubbish.^[1][2]

At age seventeen, in a bid to demonstrate people that he was prepared for adult roles,^[69] Radcliffe starred in a West End revival of Peter Shaffer’s play Equus at the Gielgud Theatre. The piece had not been revived since its first run in 1973.^[35] Radcliffe took on the lead role^[61] of Alan Strang, a stable boy who has an obsession with horses. Advance sales topped £1.7 million, and the role generated significant pre-opening media interest, as Radcliffe performed a nude scene.^[35][70] Equus opened on 27 February 2007 and ran until 9 June 2007.^[61] Radcliffe’s performance was acclaimed,^[71] as critics were impressed by the nuance and depth of his against-type role.^[72] Charles Spencer of The Telegraph wrote that the actor «displays a dramatic power and an electrifying stage presence that marks a tremendous leap forward.» He added: «I never thought I would find the diminutive (but perfectly formed) Radcliffe a sinister figure, but as Alan Strang … there are moments when he seems genuinely scary in his rage and confusion.»^[73] The production transferred to Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre in September 2008. Radcliffe continued in the lead role, starring alongside Kate Mulgrew, Anna Camp, and his Harry Potter co-star Richard Griffiths.^[74][75] Radcliffe was nervous about reprising the role on Broadway as he considered American audiences to be more discerning than those in London.^[76] Radcliffe’s performance was nominated for a Drama Desk Award.^[77]

2010–2018: Return to Broadway and independent films

After voicing a character in The Simpsons episode «Treehouse of Horror XXI» in late 2010,^[78] Radcliffe debuted as J. Pierrepont Finch in a 2011 Broadway revival How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.^[79] The role had previously been played by Robert Morse and Matthew Broderick.^[80] Other cast members included John Larroquette, Rose Hemingway and Mary Faber.^[81] Both the actor and production received favourable reviews,^[82] with USA Today commenting: «Radcliffe ultimately succeeds not by overshadowing his fellow cast members, but by working in conscientious harmony with them – and having a blast in the process.»^[83] Radcliffe’s performance in the show earned him Drama Desk Award, Drama League Award and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations.^[84][85][86] The production itself later received nine Tony Award nominations.^[87] Radcliffe left the show on 1 January 2012.^[88]

Radcliffe’s first post-Harry Potter project was the 2012 horror film The Woman in Black, adapted from the 1983 novel by Susan Hill. The film was released on 3 February 2012 in the United States and Canada, and was released on 10 February in the UK. Radcliffe portrays a man sent to deal with the legal matters of a mysterious woman who has just died, and soon after he begins to experience strange events and hauntings from the ghost of a woman dressed in black.^[89] He has said he was «incredibly excited» to be part of the film and described the script as «beautifully written».^[90]

In 2013, he portrayed American beat poet Allen Ginsberg in the thriller drama Kill Your Darlings, directed by John Krokidas.^[91][92] He also starred in an Irish-Canadian romantic comedy film The F Word (2013) directed by Michael Dowseand written by Elan Mastai, based on TJ Dawe and Michael Rinaldi’s play Toothpaste and Cigars and then he starred in an American dark fantasy horror film directed by Alexandre Aja Horns.^{[93][94][95][96]} Both of the films premiered at the 38th Toronto International Film Festival.^[97][98] Also in 2013, Radcliffe performed at the Noël Coward Theatre in the stage play revival of Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy The Cripple of Inishmaan as the lead, Billy Claven,^[99] for which he won the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Actor in a Play.^[100]

Radcliffe starred as Igor in a science fiction horror film Victor Frankenstein (2015), directed by Paul McGuigan and written by Max Landis. The film was based on contemporary adaptations of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein.^[101] He also starred as Sam Houser, one of the founders of Rockstar Games, in the biographical drama film The Gamechangers.^[102]

Radcliffe starred in the action adventure film Now You See Me 2 (2016) alongside Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, and Woody Harrelson.^[103] playing a technological prodigy, entrepreneur, criminal mastermind and a main leading antagonist all along with Michael Caine’s character named Arthur Tressler (of whom Radcliffe’s character is revealed to be the son), who whilst in turn resents magic.^[104] In 2016, Radcliffe portrayed Manny, a talkative corpse, in the indie film Swiss Army Man with Paul Dano.^[105] That same year, He also starred in critically acclaimed independent film Imperium (2016) with Toni Collette, and Tracy Letts. He played Nate Foster, an idealistic FBI agent who goes undercover to take down a radical white supremacy group.^[106]
The film received an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus reading, «The unsettling Imperium boasts troublingly timely themes and a talented cast led by Daniel Radcliffe as an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a ring of white supremacists.»^[107]

Radcliffe starred off-Broadway at The Public Theater in a documentary theatre piece titled Privacy, playing the role of The Writer.^[108] In 2017, he starred as Yossi Ghinsberg in the thriller Jungle, which was based on an internationally best-selling memoir of the same name by Yossi Ghinsberg.^[109] In 2018, Radcliffe portrayed a pilot smuggling drugs across borders in the independent action-thriller Beast of Burden directed by Jesper Ganslandt.^[110] Radcliffe returned to Broadway in the ninety-minute comedy play The Lifespan of a Fact at Studio 54 Theatre with Bobby Cannavale and Cherry Jones.

Other ventures

Philanthropy

Radcliffe has lent his support to various charitable organisations. He designed the Cu-Bed for Habitat’s VIP Kids range (a cube made of eight smaller ones which can be made into a bed, chaise-longue or chair)^[122] with all the royalties from the sale of the bed going directly to his favourite charity, Demelza House Children’s Hospice in Sittingbourne, Kent.^[123] Radcliffe has urged fans to make donations to the charity’s Candle for Care programme in lieu of giving him Christmas presents.

Political and social views

Radcliffe is a supporter of the Labour Party.^[128] He previously supported the Liberal Democrats,^[129] and endorsed then-Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg in the 2010 general election. In 2012, however, he switched his political alignment to Labour, citing disillusionment with the performance of Clegg and the Liberal Democrats while in government, and approving of then-Labour leader Ed Miliband.^[128] In 2015, he endorsed Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party leadership campaign. He told The Big Issue, «I feel like this show of sincerity by a man who has been around long enough and stuck to his beliefs long enough that he knows them and doesn’t have to be scripted is what is making people sit up and get excited. It is great.»^[130][131]

Radcliffe supports the concept of abolishing the British monarchy and replacing it with a republic.^[132] He also supports British unionism, and opposed the 2014 Scottish independence referendum because he «personally like[s] the UK being how it is».^[133]

Radcliffe is supportive of the LGBTQ community. Speaking out against homophobia, he began filming public service announcements in 2009 for The Trevor Project, promoting awareness of gay teen suicide prevention.^[134][135] He first learnt of the organisation while performing Equus on Broadway in 2008^[135] and has contributed financially to it.^[136] He said in a 2010 interview, «I have always hated anybody who is not tolerant of gay men or lesbians or bisexuals. Now I am in the very fortunate position where I can actually help or do something about it.» In the same interview, he stressed the importance of public figures advocating for equal rights.^[135] He received The Trevor Project’s Hero Award in 2011 for his contributions.^[134][137] In June 2020, amid controversy over Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling’s remarks on gender identity—widely condemned as being transphobic—Radcliffe penned an essay published by The Trevor Project in which he voiced support for the transgender community and expressed regret that Rowling’s statements had damaged fans’ experience of the Harry Potter books.^[138][139]

Personal life

Radcliffe splits his time between homes in the Fulham area of London^[140] and the West Village neighbourhood of New York City’s Manhattan borough.^[141] He has been in a relationship with American actress Erin Darke since 2012, after having met on the set of Kill Your Darlings.^[142]

In 2008, Radcliffe revealed that he has a mild form of the neurological disorder dyspraxia, which sometimes prevents him from doing simple activities such as writing or tying his shoelaces. He said, «I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.»^[143]

Radcliffe has expressed his fondness for rap music and admitted to having «an obsession with memorising complicated, lyrically intricate and fast songs». On 28 October 2014, he rapped the 1999 Blackalicious song «Alphabet Aerobics» during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.^[144][145]

Radcliffe is close to his family, whom he credits for keeping him grounded.^[146] In August 2010, he became teetotal after finding himself becoming too reliant on alcohol.^[147] In March 2020, he appeared as the guest on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, where he discussed his alcohol misuse during his teens and his decision to become teetotal, and how his parents’ support and staying in his native England helped him cope with fame.^[148][149]

Radcliffe stated of his beliefs in 2012: «There was never [religious] faith in the house. I think of myself as being Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I’m English.»^[19] He has said that his family are «Christmas tree Jews»^[150][151] also he said: «I’m an atheist, but I’m very proud of being Jewish. It means I have a good work ethic, and you get Jewish humour and you’re allowed to tell Jewish jokes. For instance: did you hear how copper wire was invented? Two Jews fighting over a penny. And so on.»^[1][152] In 2009, he stated that he was an atheist and said, «I’m very relaxed about [being an atheist]. I don’t preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do. Anything he does on television, I will watch.»^[153][154] However, he was quoted as saying in 2012, «I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation.»^[155] In 2019, he described himself as «agnostic leaning toward atheism».^[156]

Radcliffe was reported to have earned £1 million for the first Harry Potter film^[40] and around £15 million for the sixth.^[22] He appeared on the Sunday Times Rich List in 2006, which estimated his personal fortune to be £14 million, making him one of the richest young people in the UK.^[157] In March 2009, he was ranked at number one on the Forbes «Most Valuable Young Stars» list,^[158] and by April The Daily Telegraph measured his net worth at £30 million, making him the 12th richest young person in the UK.^[159] Radcliffe was considered to be the richest teenager in England later that year.^[22] In February 2010, he was named the sixth highest-paid Hollywood male star^[160] and placed at number five on Forbes‘ December list of Hollywood’s highest-grossing actors^[b] with a film revenue of US$780 million, mainly due to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows being released that year.^[161] As of 2021, Radcliffe’s net worth is estimated at £95 million.^[162]

[a] Radcliffe’s parents had both acted as children.^[19][20] As a casting agent, his mother has been involved in BBC productions such as The Inspector Lynley Mysteries.^[5][6][7]

Radcliffe was educated at three independent schools for boys in London: Redcliffe School,^[21] Sussex House School,^[22][23] and the City of London School.^[24] After the release of the first Harry Potter film, attending school proved difficult for him as some fellow pupils became hostile, though he states that they were just trying to «have a crack at the kid that plays Harry Potter» rather than acting out of jealousy.^[25] As his acting career began to consume his schedule, he continued his education through on-set tutors. He has admitted to not being a very good student, considering school useless and finding the work «really difficult».^[22] He achieved A grades in the three AS level exams that he took in 2006, but decided to take a break from education and did not attend university.^[26][27] Part of his reasoning was that he already knew he wanted to be an actor and screenwriter, and that it would be difficult to have a normal college experience.^[25]

Career

1999–2001: Acting debut and early career

Radcliffe first expressed a desire to act at age five.^[28] After one of his mother’s casting agent friends secured him an audition, he made his acting debut at age ten in BBC One’s two-part adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield (1999),^[29] portraying the title character as a young boy.^[30] He made his film debut in The Tailor of Panama (2001), an American film based on John le Carré’s 1996 spy novel, which was a moderate commercial success.^[31]

2001–2011: Stardom with Harry Potter

In 2000, producer David Heyman met Radcliffe while he was at the theatre with his father, a well-known literary agent who Heyman was friends with.^[32][33] He asked him to audition for the role of Harry Potter for the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the best-selling book by British author J. K. Rowling.^[33][34] Rowling had been searching for an unknown British actor to personify the character, and the film’s director Chris Columbus recalled thinking, «This is what I want. This is Harry Potter» after he saw a video of the young actor in David Copperfield.^[35] Eight months later, following several auditions, Radcliffe was selected to play the part.^[36] Rowling endorsed the selection, saying: «I don’t think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry.»^[37] Radcliffe’s parents originally turned down the offer, as they had been told that it would involve six films shot in Los Angeles.^[38] Warner Bros. instead offered Radcliffe a two-film contract with shooting in the UK;^[35] Radcliffe was unsure at the time if he would act in more than two Harry Potter films.^[39]

The release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone took place in 2001. Radcliffe received a seven-figure salary for the lead role, but asserted that the fee was «not that important» to him;^[40] his parents chose to invest the money for him.^[35] The film was highly popular and was met with positive reviews, and critics took notice of Radcliffe:^[41] «Radcliffe is the embodiment of every reader’s imagination. It is wonderful to see a young hero who is so scholarly looking and filled with curiosity and who connects with very real emotions, from solemn intelligence and the delight of discovery to deep family longing,» wrote Bob Graham of the San Francisco Chronicle.^[42]

A year later, Radcliffe starred in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second instalment of the series. Reviewers were positive about the lead actors’ performances but had polarising opinions on the film overall. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) was the third film in the series. Radcliffe’s performance was criticised by The New York Times film critic A. O. Scott, who felt that co-star Emma Watson had to carry him with her performance.^[43] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) was the second-highest grossing Harry Potter film at that point,^[44] and Radcliffe singled out the humour as a reason for the film’s creative success.^[45]

The future of the franchise was put into question when Radcliffe, Watson, and co-star Rupert Grint hesitated to sign on to continue their roles. By March 2007, however, Radcliffe had signed for the final Harry Potter films; his signing put an end to weeks of press «speculation that he would be denied the role due to his involvement in Equus«, in which he had performed nude onstage.^[46] Radcliffe reprised the role of Harry for the fifth time in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007). Radcliffe stated that director David Yates and co-star Imelda Staunton made Order of the Phoenix the «most fun» film to work on in the series.^[47] His performance earned him several award nominations, and he received the 2008 National Movie Award for «Best Male Performance».^[48] Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson left imprints of their hands, feet, and wands in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.^[49] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the series’ sixth instalment, was released in July 2009. Radcliffe received nominations for «Best Male Performance» and «Global Superstar» at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.^[50]

For financial and scripting reasons, the last Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) was divided into two films that were shot back-to-back.^[51][52] This decision drew criticism from the series’ fans, but Radcliffe defended the split, stating that it would have been impossible to properly adapt the final novel into a single film.^[53][54]

The two-film finale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2, was released in November 2010 and July 2011, respectively. While Deathly Hallows – Part 1 grossed $960 million, Deathly Hallows – Part 2 grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide; as of May 2019, it was the 11th-highest-grossing film of all time. Deathly Hallows – Part 2 was critically acclaimed, as was Radcliffe’s performance; Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post asked, «Who could have predicted that Radcliffe, Grint and Watson would turn out to be good actors»?^[55][41] Critic Rex Reed remarked, «Frankly, I’m sorry to see [Radcliffe] go»;^[56] Roger Ebert gave the film a highly positive review, but felt that Radcliffe, Grint and Watson were «upstaged by the supporting [actors].»^[57]

Radcliffe acknowledged that some people would never be able to separate him from the Harry Potter character; however, he has said he is «proud to be associated with this film series forever.»^[58] Despite positive feelings about the films, he has no interest in doing more Harry Potter films. After Rowling hinted about writing an eighth book, Radcliffe was asked if he would do another Harry Potter film, to which he replied, «[It is] very doubtful. I think 10 years is a long time to spend with one character».^[59] Despite devoting so much time to the series, Radcliffe has asserted that he did not miss out on a childhood like other child actors, remarking, «I’ve been given a much better perspective on life by doing Potter.»^[60]

2002–2008: West End and Broadway Theatre debut

In 2002, Radcliffe made his stage debut as a celebrity guest in a West End production of The Play What I Wrote, directed by Kenneth Branagh—who also appeared with him in the second Harry Potter film.^[30][61] He appeared in the film December Boys, an Australian family drama about four orphans that was shot in 2005 and released to theaters in mid-September 2007.^[62] On 13 April 2006, a portrait of Radcliffe by Stuart Pearson Wright was unveiled as part of a new exhibition opening at the National Theatre, before being moved to the National Portrait Gallery.^[63]

In 2007, Radcliffe co-starred with Carey Mulligan in My Boy Jack, a television drama film shown on ITV. The film received mostly positive reviews,^[64] with several critics praising Radcliffe’s performance as an eighteen-year-old who goes missing in action during a battle.^[65][66][67] Radcliffe stated, «For many people my age, the First World War is just a topic in a history book. But I’ve always been fascinated by the subject and think it’s as relevant today as it ever was.»^[68] Later that year, he published several poems under the pen name Jacob Gershon—a combination of his middle name and the Hebrew version of his mother’s maiden name Gresham—in the underground fashion magazine Rubbish.^[1][2]

At age seventeen, in a bid to demonstrate people that he was prepared for adult roles,^[69] Radcliffe starred in a West End revival of Peter Shaffer’s play Equus at the Gielgud Theatre. The piece had not been revived since its first run in 1973.^[35] Radcliffe took on the lead role^[61] of Alan Strang, a stable boy who has an obsession with horses. Advance sales topped £1.7 million, and the role generated significant pre-opening media interest, as Radcliffe performed a nude scene.^[35][70] Equus opened on 27 February 2007 and ran until 9 June 2007.^[61] Radcliffe’s performance was acclaimed,^[71] as critics were impressed by the nuance and depth of his against-type role.^[72] Charles Spencer of The Telegraph wrote that the actor «displays a dramatic power and an electrifying stage presence that marks a tremendous leap forward.» He added: «I never thought I would find the diminutive (but perfectly formed) Radcliffe a sinister figure, but as Alan Strang … there are moments when he seems genuinely scary in his rage and confusion.»^[73] The production transferred to Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre in September 2008. Radcliffe continued in the lead role, starring alongside Kate Mulgrew, Anna Camp, and his Harry Potter co-star Richard Griffiths.^[74][75] Radcliffe was nervous about reprising the role on Broadway as he considered American audiences to be more discerning than those in London.^[76] Radcliffe’s performance was nominated for a Drama Desk Award.^[77]

2010–2018: Return to Broadway and independent films

After voicing a character in The Simpsons episode «Treehouse of Horror XXI» in late 2010,^[78] Radcliffe debuted as J. Pierrepont Finch in a 2011 Broadway revival How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.^[79] The role had previously been played by Robert Morse and Matthew Broderick.^[80] Other cast members included John Larroquette, Rose Hemingway and Mary Faber.^[81] Both the actor and production received favourable reviews,^[82] with USA Today commenting: «Radcliffe ultimately succeeds not by overshadowing his fellow cast members, but by working in conscientious harmony with them – and having a blast in the process.»^[83] Radcliffe’s performance in the show earned him Drama Desk Award, Drama League Award and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations.^[84][85][86] The production itself later received nine Tony Award nominations.^[87] Radcliffe left the show on 1 January 2012.^[88]

Radcliffe’s first post-Harry Potter project was the 2012 horror film The Woman in Black, adapted from the 1983 novel by Susan Hill. The film was released on 3 February 2012 in the United States and Canada, and was released on 10 February in the UK. Radcliffe portrays a man sent to deal with the legal matters of a mysterious woman who has just died, and soon after he begins to experience strange events and hauntings from the ghost of a woman dressed in black.^[89] He has said he was «incredibly excited» to be part of the film and described the script as «beautifully written».^[90]

Radcliffe starred in the action adventure film Now You See Me 2 (2016) alongside Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, and Woody Harrelson.^[103] playing a technological prodigy, entrepreneur, criminal mastermind and a main leading antagonist all along with Michael Caine’s character named Arthur Tressler (of whom Radcliffe’s character is revealed to be the son), who whilst in turn resents magic.^[104] In 2016, Radcliffe portrayed Manny, a talkative corpse, in the indie film Swiss Army Man with Paul Dano.^[105] That same year, He also starred in critically acclaimed independent film Imperium (2016) with Toni Collette, and Tracy Letts. He played Nate Foster, an idealistic FBI agent who goes undercover to take down a radical white supremacy group.^[106]
The film received an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus reading, «The unsettling Imperium boasts troublingly timely themes and a talented cast led by Daniel Radcliffe as an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a ring of white supremacists.»^[107]

Radcliffe starred off-Broadway at The Public Theater in a documentary theatre piece titled Privacy, playing the role of The Writer.^[108] In 2017, he starred as Yossi Ghinsberg in the thriller Jungle, which was based on an internationally best-selling memoir of the same name by Yossi Ghinsberg.^[109] In 2018, Radcliffe portrayed a pilot smuggling drugs across borders in the independent action-thriller Beast of Burden directed by Jesper Ganslandt.^[110] Radcliffe returned to Broadway in the ninety-minute comedy play The Lifespan of a Fact at Studio 54 Theatre with Bobby Cannavale and Cherry Jones.

In 2012, however, he switched his political alignment to Labour, citing disillusionment with the performance of Clegg and the Liberal Democrats while in government, and approving of then-Labour leader Ed Miliband.^[128] In 2015, he endorsed Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party leadership campaign. He told The Big Issue, «I feel like this show of sincerity by a man who has been around long enough and stuck to his beliefs long enough that he knows them and doesn’t have to be scripted is what is making people sit up and get excited. It is great.»^[130][131]

Radcliffe supports the concept of abolishing the British monarchy and replacing it with a republic.^[132] He also supports British unionism, and opposed the 2014 Scottish independence referendum because he «personally like[s] the UK being how it is».^[133]

Radcliffe is supportive of the LGBTQ community. Speaking out against homophobia, he began filming public service announcements in 2009 for The Trevor Project, promoting awareness of gay teen suicide prevention.^[134][135] He first learnt of the organisation while performing Equus on Broadway in 2008^[135] and has contributed financially to it.^[136] He said in a 2010 interview, «I have always hated anybody who is not tolerant of gay men or lesbians or bisexuals. Now I am in the very fortunate position where I can actually help or do something about it.» In the same interview, he stressed the importance of public figures advocating for equal rights.^[135] He received The Trevor Project’s Hero Award in 2011 for his contributions.^[134][137] In June 2020, amid controversy over Harry Potter author J. K.

Personal life

Radcliffe splits his time between homes in the Fulham area of London^[140] and the West Village neighbourhood of New York City’s Manhattan borough.^[141] He has been in a relationship with American actress Erin Darke since 2012, after having met on the set of Kill Your Darlings.^[142]

In 2008, Radcliffe revealed that he has a mild form of the neurological disorder dyspraxia, which sometimes prevents him from doing simple activities such as writing or tying his shoelaces. He said, «I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.»^[143]

Radcliffe has expressed his fondness for rap music and admitted to having «an obsession with memorising complicated, lyrically intricate and fast songs». On 28 October 2014, he rapped the 1999 Blackalicious song «Alphabet Aerobics» during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.^[144][145]

Radcliffe stated of his beliefs in 2012: «There was never [religious] faith in the house. I think of myself as being Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I’m English.»^[19] He has said that his family are «Christmas tree Jews»^[150][151] also he said: «I’m an atheist, but I’m very proud of being Jewish. It means I have a good work ethic, and you get Jewish humour and you’re allowed to tell Jewish jokes. For instance: did you hear how copper wire was invented? Two Jews fighting over a penny. And so on.»^[1][152] In 2009, he stated that he was an atheist and said, «I’m very relaxed about [being an atheist]. I don’t preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do. Anything he does on television, I will watch.»^[153][154] However, he was quoted as saying in 2012, «I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation.»^[155] In 2019, he described himself as «agnostic leaning toward atheism».^[156]

Radcliffe was reported to have earned £1 million for the first Harry Potter film^[40] and around £15 million for the sixth.^[22] He appeared on the Sunday Times Rich List in 2006, which estimated his personal fortune to be £14 million, making him one of the richest young people in the UK.^[157] In March 2009, he was ranked at number one on the Forbes «Most Valuable Young Stars» list,^[158] and by April The Daily Telegraph measured his net worth at £30 million, making him the 12th richest young person in the UK.^[159] Radcliffe was considered to be the richest teenager in England later that year.^[22] In February 2010, he was named the sixth highest-paid Hollywood male star^[160] and placed at number five on Forbes‘ December list of Hollywood’s highest-grossing actors^[b] with a film revenue of US$780 million, mainly due to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows being released that year.^[161] As of 2021, Radcliffe’s net worth is estimated at £95 million.^[162]

Дэниел Рэдклифф — биография

---

Дэниел Рэдклифф – английский театральный и киноактер, благотворитель. Обладатель награды Героя Empire, обладатель трех призов зрительских симпатий Бродвея, MTV Movie Awards и многих других.

Детство

Дэниел родился в Лондоне, в Челси, в 1989 году, в семье литературного агента Алана Рэдклиффа и агента по подбору актеров Марсии Джейкобсон. Других детей у пары нет. Мать мальчика, Марсия, имеет иудейские корни, но выросла в Южной Африке. Отец – североирландский католик-протестант из Банбриджа. У каждого из них в детстве был опыт актерской игры. Но профессионально применить свои таланты родители не смогли. Зато с этим прекрасно справился их сын.

В школьные годы Дэниел особенно страдал от диспраксии – нарушения координации, с которой со временем научился справляться. Во время учебы в школе он испытывал большие трудности с письмом. Порой не мог сам завязать шнурки, выполнить другие задачи, требующие приложения мелкой моторики.

За период учебы Дэниел сменил 3 школы. Сначала Редклифф, потом Сассекс-Хаус. Из школы Лондонского сити он ушел сам, не выдержав давления со стороны одноклассников. Завершить образование помогли репетиторы, сопровождавшие актера на съемочной площадке.

Первые успехи

Попробовать себя в кино Дэниел мечтал с раннего детства. Его мать, работавшая агентом по подбору актеров в сериале BBC «Инспектор Линли» поддерживала сына в этом желании. И первый в своей жизни кастинг Рэдклифф успешно прошел уже в десятилетнем возрасте. В экранизации романа Диккенса на BBC One он сыграл юного Дэвида Копперфильда.

Затем была небольшая роль в картине «Панамский портной» — в компании с такими грандами как Пирс Броснан и Джейми Ли Кертис. Но эти работы не снискали большой популярности.

Гарри Поттер

10 лет своей жизни, с 2001 по 2011 год, Дэниел Рэдклифф посвятил роли Гарри Поттера – героя книг Джоан Роулинг. Мальчика пригласили на прослушивание одним из первых, заметив его яркий талант в работе для BBC One. Спустя 8 месяцев юный актер был утвержден на роль главного героя. Хотя родители первоначально отказались от его участия в киносаге, так как предполагалось, что съемки пройдут в Лос-Анджелесе. В итоге, первый контракт заключили всего на 2 фильма. А место действия перенесли в Великобританию.

Первая лента франшизы вышла в 2001 году, и мгновенно сделала популярными всех юных актеров. Дэниел не был готов к такой славе. Но он полностью отработал положенный семизначный гонорар. А вот в школе столкнулся с настоящим буллингом. Одноклассники неоднозначно восприняли славу своего соученика. Зато критики благосклонно оценили работу. Дэниел понял, что хочет продолжать актерскую карьеру.

Второй фильм, снятый тем же режиссером, лишь добавил известности все участникам киносаги о Гарри Поттере. Но его однозначно посчитали менее удачным. Отчасти из-за не слишком понятных режиссерских ходов. После этого Дэниел заключил контракт на следующие экранизации книг Роулинг.

Третья лента – «Гарри Поттер и узник Азкабана» познакомила мальчика с обратной стороной киноиндустрии. Его работу раскритиковали, назвав откровенно слабой. При этом все очень хвалили исполнительницу роли Гермионы Эмму Уотсон. Но Рэдклифф не унывал. В четвертом фильме саги он уверенно взял реванш, продемонстрировав новые грани своего таланта, в том числе юмористические. Кассовые сборы взлетели, критики в один голос хвалили молодого актера.

Но участие в следующих фильмах было под вопросом. Рэдклифф и Гринт, исполнявший роль Рона Уизли, устали от рамок детской сказки. Они долго не хотели подписывать новые контракты. Урегулировать все споры удалось только в 2007 году. В марте актеры заключили новые договоры – несмотря на слухи о том, что Дэниела не желают видеть в продолжении саги из-за скандального спектакля «Эквус».

В итоге, решение оказалось верным. «Орден Феникса» стал ярким продолжением актерской карьеры Рэдклиффа. Он получил несколько номинаций за лучшую мужскую роль, и даже выиграл Национальную кинопремию в 2008 году. А следующий фильм о принце-полукровке принес новое признание, уже за пределами Великобритании. На премии MTV Movie Awards 2010 года Дэниел был представлен в номинациях «Глобальная суперзвезда» и «Лучшая мужская роль».

Съемки франшизы завершились в 2011 году выходом двух частей картины «Гарри Поттер и Дары смерти». Они побили многие рекорды кассовых сборов. Критики тоже были благосклонны к молодым актерам, отметив их великолепную игру. Как бы там ни было, 10 долгих лет семок завершились. Дэниел был наконец свободен, не связан контрактам, и готов к новым свершениям. Он однозначно заявил, что не вернется к роли Гарри. Ведь актера и так слишком долго ассоциировали с этим персонажем.

Взрослая жизнь

Слава и деньги – комбинация, сломавшая немало судеб актеров-детей. Но Дэниелу повезло. Параллельно с Гарри Поттером он успевал принимать участие в других фильмах и постановках. Рэдклифф сыграл в «Декабрьских мальчиках» и теледраме «Мой мальчик Джек» в дуэте с Кэри Маллиган. Фильм, посвященный Первой мировой войне нашел горячий отклик в сердцах зрителей.

Пробовал себя Дэниел и в качестве поэта. Он написал и опубликовал несколько стихотворений, взяв псевдоним Джейкоб Гершон, в честь девичьей фамилии своей матери.

Затем, во время съемок в последней части фильмов о Гарри Поттере, Дэниела неожиданно пригласили озвучить героя в легендарном телесериале «Симпсоны». Это вдохновило молодого человека на новые свершения. Он начал активно строить карьеру на Бродвее, и до 2012 года успешно играл в постановке «Как преуспеть в бизнесе не прилагая особых усилий». Спектакль неоднократно номинировали на премию «Тони», а сам Дэниел стал обладателем Outer Critics Circle Award. Затем от предложений режиссеров уже не было отбоя.

Лучшие работы в кино

После Гарри Поттера, принесшего Рэдклиффу заслуженную славу, актер предпочел сделать небольшой перерыв в работе. Но вскоре уже приступил к новым съемкам. Первой лентой стала «Женщина в черном» — картина в жанре фэнтези, с элементами хоррора. В атмосфере викторианской готики герою предстояло бороться с мистическими явлениями.

Затем были съемки в мини-сериале по мотивам книг Булгакова. «Записки юного врача» с их фирменным мрачным юмором принесли Рэдклиффу новый виток популярности. Он получил немало прекрасных рецензий на свою работу.

Следующим этапом в карьере актера стала драма «Убей своих любимых» о поколении легендарных битников – Керуака, Берроуза и Гинзберга. Дэниелу досталась роль последнего, и он снова сумел удивить публику своим перевоплощением.

Следующей большой работой в кино стал фильм ужасов «Виктор Франкенштейн». Он вышел на экраны в 2015 году, и стал адаптацией произведения Мэри Шелли. Роль горбуна Игоря вновь показала, что молодой актер не боится выглядеть на экране отталкивающе.

2016 год принес Рэдклиффу немало новых предложений. Он успел появиться в фильмах «Иллюзия обмана 2», сыграть в кртине «Человек – швейцарский нож», в роли покойника, который сопровождает попавшего на необитаемый остров героя в его одиночестве. Затем в прокат вышла «Абсолютная власть» с Рэдклиффом, примерившим образ неонациста.

Но наиболее коммерчески успешным стал для Дэниела 2019 год. Он сыграл в боевике «Пушки Акимбо» — картине с изрядной долей комедийной составляющей. А затем получил приглашение в «Чудотворцев» — проект, который к настоящему моменту уже успешно идет 3 сезона подряд. Комедийно-фантастический сериал повествует о приключениях сотрудников «небесной канцелярии», которые во втором сезоне перевоплощаются уже в королевских персон, а в третьем в миссионеров. Неожиданные сюжетные повороты и отличный юмор стали фирменным знаком проекта. А занятая в нем команда актеров смогла как следует порадовать зрителей в пандемию. Впереди четвертый сезон – в России его покажут в феврале 2023 года, в мире уже в январе.

Интересно, что в «Чудотворцах» актер выступает еще и в роли продюсера. До этого подобный опыт был у него в 2017 году, в документальной ленте Circus Kid.

В 2020 году у Рэдклиффа выходит еще одна значимая актерская работа – «Побег из Претории», основанная на реальных событиях. Речь в ней идет о периоде «белого апартеида» в ЮАР, и здесь, в роли борца за свободу, Дэниел вполне убедителен.

Лучшие работы в театре

Театральная биография Дэниела Рэдклиффа также насчитывает не один десяток ролей. В качестве драматического актера он выступает с 2007 года, сначала в театрах Вест-Энда, а затем и на Бродвее. Нашумевшая пьеса «Эквус», где артист предстает обнаженным, с успехом шла несколько сезонов. Семнадцатилетний Рэдклифф в ней решился не просто на смелый эксперимент. Он проявил драматический талант, отмеченный критиками.

Повторение успеха «Эквуса» произошло и на Бродвее. Здесь Дэниел играл с 2008 года, в знаменитом театре Бродхерст. Дебют оказался удачным. Молодого актера даже номинировали на премию Drama Desk Award.

В 2013-2014 годах Дэниел выступал в комедийной постановке «Калека из Инишмаана». А в легендарном театре «Олд Вик» в 2017 году выходил в одной из ролей в пьесе «Розенкранц и Гильденстерн мертвы». Затем Рэдклифф больше сосредоточился на карьере на Бродвее. Здесь публика тепло приняла его роли в сатирических постановках «Уединение» и «Продолжительность жизни факта».

Осенью 2022 года Дэниел приступил к репетициям пьесы «Весело катимся» в мастерской «Возрождение мюзикла» в Нью-Йорке, после большого перерыва. Премьера постановки намечена на 12 декабря, а завершатся спектакли 8 января 2023 г.

Рэдклифф сейчас

В 2022 году Дэниел Рэдклифф также не сидит без работы. Он продолжает съемки в британской картине с рабочим названием «Бруклинский мост», где играет главную роль. Уже вышел фильм «Странный: история Эла Янковича». Здесь Дэниел предстает в необычном амплуа музыканта, внезапно становящегося популярным. Комедия-байопик о жизни реального человека, ставшего звездой, представляет зрителям новые грани таланта Рэдклиффа – с кудрями и аккордеоном в руках, он смело экспериментирует, демонстрируя свое актерское дарование.

Не менее шумно прошла в 2022 году и премьера фильма «Затерянный город», где партнерами Дэниела стали Сандра Буллок и Ченнинг Татум. Эта злодейская роль Рэдклиффа была признана лучшей, отмечена наградами. Так что, он явно не боится экспериментировать, отходя все дальше от образа «мальчика, который выжил».

В 2021 году HBO сделал своим зрителям подарок, сняв «фильм о фильме» — с актерами саги о Гарри Поттере. В течение часа съемочная группа и исполнители главных ролей делились со зрителями своими воспоминаниями. Но поклонники остались разочарованы. Легенда о воссоединении актеров оказалась ложью. Каждый из них был отснят отдельно, а иллюзия общей беседы – лишь монтаж, магия кино.

Убеждения

Рэдклифф вырос в смешанной иудейской и ирландской семье. Сам он заявляет, что никогда не был религиозен. По своим убеждениям Дэниел атеист, о чем он неоднократно рассказывал в интервью. При этом актер уважительно относится и к последователям различных религий, и к тем, кто отрицает их.

Проблемы с алкоголем

Ранняя слава и пристальное внимание публики сыграли с Рэдклиффом злую шутку. Актер все чаще употреблял алкоголь в юности, и все могло закончиться очень плохо. Но вмешалась семья, которая буквально поместила Дэниела под домашний арест.

Молодой человек прошел курс реабилитации. С 2010 года он не употребляет алкоголь. О своей зависимости Рэдклифф честно рассказал в передаче BBC Radio 4.

Личная жизнь

Дэниел Рэдклифф не любит пристального внимания к своей личной жизни. Актер долгие годы состоит в отношениях с актрисой Эммой Дарк – вместе он живут в Нью-Йорке, на Манхэттене, в районе Вест-Виллидж. В лондонском доме Дэниела пара бывает нечасто.

С Эммой Дэниел познакомился в 2012 году, во время съемок в картине «Убей своих любимых». Они почти сразу стали встречаться, и с тех пор не расставались. Пару объединяет любовь к животным – у них несколько собак.

Биография

Дэниел Рэдклифф родился на западе Лондона 23 июля 1989 года. Его мама Марсия Джейкобсон имеет еврейские корни, а отец Алан Джордж Рэдклифф является ирландцем. В начальных классах школы юный Дэниел уже участвовал в школьных театральных постановках, а в возрасте 10 лет появился в телепередаче BBC.

В 2001 году Дэниел Рэдклифф бросил школу и перешел на частное обучение, так как большинство одноклассников стали испытывать к нему неприязнь, после его дебюта в фильме «Гарри Поттер и философский камень». Иными словами, Рэдклифф в некотором смысле повторил судьбу таких юных звезд мирового кино, как Маколей Калкин ( Один Дома) и Эдвард Ферлонг ( Джон Коннор).

Фильмография

В 1999 году Даниел Рэдклифф появился в роли молодого Дэвида Копперфильда в документальном фильме BBC, а в 2001 году, получил небольшую роль в триллере «Портной из Панамы» с Пирсом Броснаном в главной роли.

Когда Дэниелу Рэдклиффу исполнилось 12 лет, он впервые исполнил роль Гарри Поттера в фэнтезийной кинокартине «Гарри Поттер и философский камень», снятый по роману Джоан Роулинг.

Дэниел Рэдклифф как вечный Гарри Поттер

За всю свою актерскую карьеру, Дэниел Рэдклифф снялся в восьми частях кинофраншизы Гарри Поттер, таких как;

• 2001: Гарри Поттер и философский камень
• 2002: Гарри Поттер и Тайная комната
• 2004: Гарри Поттер и узник Азкабана
• 2005: Гарри Поттер и Кубок огня
• 2007: Гарри Поттер и Орден Феникса
• 2009: Гарри Поттер и Принц-полукровка
• 2010: Гарри Поттер и Дары Смерти: Часть 1
• 2011: Гарри Поттер и Дары Смерти: Часть 2

В возрасте 22 лет, Дэниел Рэдклифф в последний раз появился в образе Гарри Поттера. Несмотря на то, что его имя занесено в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса, как самого высокооплачиваемого киноактера первого десятилетия нулевых годов, слава волшебника из Хогвартса не пошла на пользу его актерской карьере. Зритель всегда видит в героях Дэниела Рэдклиффа только Гарри Поттера, поэтому актер оказался мало востребованным в большом кино.

В 2012 году британский актер появляется в главной роли мистического триллера «Женщина в Черном», а также начинает сниматься в английском сериале «Записки юного врача», который является экранизацией рассказов Михаила Булгакова.

На период 2013-2016 годов, Рэдклифф снимается в более чем десяти кинокартинах, из которых особенно значимыми являются фильмы: «Дружба и никакого секса», «Рога», «Виктор Франкенштейн», «Иллюзия обмана 2» и «Человек— швейцарский нож».

Однако особого внимания заслуживают две серьезные актерские работы Дэниела Рэдклиффа, в которых он раскрывает свое настоящее альтер-эго, ни как не связанное с образом героя из рассказов Джоан Роулинг. Первой из них является британская документальная кинодрама «Переломный момент», а второй — триллер «Абсолютная власть», снятый в 2016 году.

Роли в настоящее время

В 2019 году в кинопрокат выходит комедийный боевик «Пушки Акимбо», где Рэдклифф исполняет главную роль, полностью избавляясь от своего имиджа Гарри Поттера. Также, в 2020 году, он получает главную роль писателя Тима Дженкина в документальном триллере «Побег из Претории».

В 2021 году, британский актер вместе с Рупертом Гринтом, Эммой Уотсон, Хеленой Бонем Картер, Рэйфом Файнсом, Джейсоном Айзексом и Гэри Олдманом, снялся в документальном фильме «Возвращение в Хогвартс», премьера которого ожидается в январе 2022 года.

Этот проект рассказывает историю создания фильма о Гарри Поттере. Смысл его сюжета состоит в том, что бывшие актеры этого фильма, будут беседовать между собой в комнатах, выполненных в атмосферности Хогвартса.

В 2022 году, киноактер, вместе с Сандрой Буллок и Ченнингом Татумом появился в приключенческой кинокартине «Затерянный город D», а также начал съемки в комедийном фильме «Странный: История Эла Янковича».

Танец Дэниэла Рэдклиффа в сериале «Чудотворцы»

Начиная с 2019 года и по настоящее время, киноактер становится ключевой фигурой в комедийном телесериале «Чудотворцы», где играет роль ангела Крейга Боуга, а также других персонажей. Этот сериал является пародией на жизнь Дикого Запада 17-19 веков.

В 2021 году Дэниел Рэдклифф рассмешил своих фанатов, устроив настоящий творческий «стриптиз» в 3 сезоне сериала, под названием «Орегонская тропа». Это 21 серия по счету в этом комедийном сериале, которая называется «Что происходит в Бранчуотере». Ее премьера состоялась 3 августа 2021 года.

Цитаты из интервью Дэниела Рэдклиффа

После выхода в 2001 году первой части Гарри Поттера, британский киноактер обретает необычайную популярность и в 2015 году удостаивается Звезды на голливудской Аллеи славы. Пресса постоянно пытается выяснить к Рэдклиффа его отношение к творчеству, гендерности и женщинам, а его поклонницы с нетерпением ждут очередного рассказа о его личной жизни.

Дэниел Рэдклифф в интервью изданию «Esquire»

— Похоже, что при интервью с вами, часто возникает легкое удивление по поводу того, насколько вы хорошо можете ответить на любой вопрос!?

Я всегда говорю, что мне очень помогает невероятно низкая самооценка. Я стал актером и знаменитостью в 12 лет.

— Вы были полностью финансово независимы с юности и действительно могли бы просто брать проекты, которые вас интересовали. Всегда ли это казалось вам благословением или Гарри Поттер вас ограничивал?

Я думаю, что это ограничение мотивировало мое желание показать людям, что я не просто Гарри Поттер. Это прекрасно вписывалось в стремление исполнять самые разнообразные роли, чем я всегда восхищался в карьерах других людей, которые перескакивали из жанра в жанр и делали то, что им нравится.

Из интервью американскому журналу «Wired»

—Какой ваш любимый фильм о Гарри Поттере?

Пятый, который большинство людей не называют одним из своих любимых (Гарри Поттер и орден Феникса. прим. автора). Но мне пришлось много работать с Гэри Олдманом. И в тот момент я стал немного старше, так что смог оценить его по достоинству.

Интервью журналу «GQ«

—Почему вы хотели стать актером?

Потому что это было намного лучше, чем учиться в школе!

 —У вас когда-нибудь возникало искушение завести Твиттер? 

Нет. Меня всегда спрашивают на каждой работе: «Можете ли вы вести свой Твиттер?». Я надеюсь, что у меня хватит гребаных яиц это сделать. Но я верю, что это не то, что я должен иметь в своей жизни. Я не думаю, что это хорошо для меня. Я думаю, что я остаюсь более здравомыслящим, чем меньше я взаимодействую с Интернетом. 

—Вы бы снялись в фильме «Звездные войны», если бы вам предложили?

Я бы с удовольствием. Я бы ухватился за этот шанс. У меня абсолютно нет терпимости к людям, которые не в восторге от того, что каждый день бывают на съемочной площадке, потому что так и должно быть.

—Ты удивлен, что стал такой большой знаменитостью в раннем возрасте и не оказался чудиком впоследствии?

Люди говорят мне: «Я так ожидал, что ты будешь чудиком». Это невероятно, когда их ожидания так низки. В каком-то смысле это здорово, потому что почти все, кого я встречал за последние 10 лет, ожидали, что я буду полным чудиком. Так что это легко превзойти. Меня не удивляет, что я не вырос чудиком, потому что вокруг меня были замечательные люди.

Личная жизнь

Несколько лет назад Рэдклифф стал предметом интернет-мема под слоганом «Кэти позвони», так как в одном из интервью признался, что влюблен в американскую певицу Кэти Перри.

В 2012 году у звезды Гарри Поттера был роман с ассистентской режиссера Рози Кокер, а чуть позже он начал встречаться с американской актрисой Эрин Дарк. Последние несколько лет, пару не раз замечали выходящими вместе из продуктовых магазинов Лондона.
