Well, he's been working like an adult since he was 10 years old, which is more than we can say of really "filthy rich" people such as the Kardashians or any influencer/tiktok "model"/whatever
Compaired to most stars he is also a really interesting and (at the same time) relatable personality. I have no idea why all interviews with him are so short and also why they keep asking the same questions over and over again. I wanna hear him talk about small stuff that interest him, not about HP.
He's very aware, he's obviously got add, his mind races around before he can fiend an answer, but as bad as ndt though (or as me).

But that has a slickly negative tone towards it, because you're beating the person, but he then has to add the " but thanks anyway", to be polite
From what I recall, he was a big fan of American rap music and would often memorize rap lyrics and sing them, this is what led to him being so articulate and enthusiastically loquacious
I’ve been told for years that I sound like an angry squirrel when I speak, so I guess watching this is like hearing me with a deeper voice …when I’m not medicated
I just appreciate that Dan said, “Nope, not going to go there” and the interview moved on. Multiple times. The man has been famous a long time and knows potential pitfalls and is in charge of what he puts on TV. Good for Dan and good for Colbert to let him draw his own lines.
HE is the guy who got sick of the papparazzi hounding him so he bought several sets of exactly the same outfit and wore it every day for like six months. Said it was hilarious watching how frustrated the photographers would get trying to get some pictures of him that didn't look exactly like every other picture they'd gotten of him for ages. He is pretty clever with stuff like that it seems.
He was ultimately chosen because he categorically refused to miss a football (soccer) practice for some test shoots even if it meant he would miss out on the part of being Harry Potter because he had made a promise to his teammates. J.K. Rowling knew that the kid who would end up "being" Harry Potter (also Ron and Hermione) would inevitably become one the most famous people on earth and be subjected to an immense amount of pressure, so she wanted to make sure they had the "personal integrity and strength" - for lack of a better word - to not crumble under that weight or worse : have their souls spoiled by the ease and privileges that come with such a level of fame and fortune. (Rowling said her motivations were for the well-being of the child actors, but it's fairly safe to assume that because the series would be filmed over the course of several years, production wanted to be sure the actors would be well-balanced and reliable enough to remain at least sufficiently functional so to avoid needing to recast a main character because one of the actors in in rehab or embroiled in a horrific scandal that would affect the image of a children's series... but I digress) When Daniel Radcliffe announced that he wouldn't be able to make it to the next round of auditions because he had a prior engagement, it was clear that this child acted for fun and not for fame and that he wouldn't put the extra pressure on himself to answer to what society demands and expects out of celebrities. But when Daniel's PARENT'S REFUSED to force their son to miss his football practice even if it meant he would lose the part because it was DANIEL'S DECISION to either go to his audition or his football practice and that even if he had been cast there would be no more exceptions to missing football since it would become even more important that their son learn the value of his privilege by hanging out with normal kids and respecting a schedule, everyone went like "these are the polar opposite of stage parents and they will put their child's health, education, sanity and safety well above any money he might make ; those are parents who care about their son, not their son's career, and will not let him go off-rail or become full of himself and obnoxious but most importantly he will have people to support him unconditionally when the downsides of fame are affecting him and they will not overlook obvious red flags for selfish reasons" So it it by refusing to have a ego that Daniel Radcliffe got the part. And that is why Harry Potter is not an asshole
@@flerrrrrrrrrrrp2997 huh I had no idea. No wonder he seems like a nice normal person then, especially for someone who grew up as a child actor in something as big as the Harry Potter series
Not sure about "Not once did he fall off the rails" he's spoken pretty publically about the amount he was drinking while making the Potter films due to the stress of publicity.
good point actually! for ALL his SUPER FAME at such a young age, i mean he was on ANOTHER LEVEL! and he seems to have kept his head on pretty straight and I really admire that about him... I also think he happens to be extremely talented!
Daniel's a wholesome dude who accepts roles based on how fun they are for him. You'd never think that someone who was the main character on Harry Potter would go and do the role he did on Swiss Army Man, for instance. But he did it because it was fun.
@@LafemmebearMusic What? That’s literally not how that works. You don’t help people learn to be better by cutting them out. As long as they’re being tolerant of YOU, then every time they express their beliefs becomes an opportunity to peacefully confront them and have a dialogue about their beliefs and why it’s socially wrong. Friends should be able to have that kind of conversation. I made a friend who was VERY right-wing. Over the last four years, while he still sees himself as conservative, my having those conversations with him has resulted in him realizing the GOP is not serving his interests. There’s still a ways to go, but progress has been made, and can still be made. I’m very proud of the progress he’s made. Naturally, there is a limit for what should be tolerated. An unwillingness to accept proven reality is a problem that I cannot mentally deal with for long. But if someone is willing to have a proper dialogue, then why shut them further into an echo chamber?
@@LafemmebearMusic You accuse him of bing racist and then only show that he decides to be friends with people who are anti immigration. That is not what you accused him of, so that looks pretty silly. If you think it is a problem that he is friends with people like that, then that is what you should say.
We have watched so very many child performers spin out sideways as they mature. And then there's Daniel, who just keeps revealing more and more talent and acumen. I only wish this interview had gone on a lot longer.
He had a few rough years when he was a teen- lot of alcohol problems and drinking on set. He came to work drunk. Luckily he had an amazing cast and family who had an intervention for him and helped him sort himself out.
I will comment this every time about Daniel Radcliffe he’s a racist.

@@vojacked305 after I watched Horns I knew that I didn't like him just because of HP, but because he is an excellent actor who takes interesting roles. Since then I really haven't seen anything he is in that I didn't like.
@@justinsingh221 I mean genetics mostly, he is only 32 but my message was not about how young he looks at his age... in fact with the beard he looks older than he is I think, but my original comment was about how well his features have improved as he has aged, I thought in the Deathly Hallows part one and two he looked a bit awkward but his features have continued to mature and have matured into what they look like now and I don't think his features are awkward anymore.
It’s been fun watching Daniel grow up on screen, and it’s weird to watch him in scenes like the dancing one shown during the interview. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years since HP came out.
It is great watching people grow up in films and television. Did you know that he appeared naked on stage in the play Equis? I loved him in the film Horns. It’s a Joe Hill book. Joe Hill is Stephen Kings son. He’s really a terrific writer.
@@LafemmebearMusic I'm not trying to start anything, but are you saying that because he didn't sever ties with people he knew to be racists, then that made him a racist also? I mean, one person who I've known and been friends with for a very long time has made occasional racist slurs in front of me, and I've called him out, and we've had major quarrels over this, but at r same time, I love him and wouldn't sever ties with him. But you can ask anyone who's ever been associated with me if I'm a racist, and I'm absolutely positive that they would say that I am definitely not a racist.
Gotta love Daniel Radcliffe. He's still so so down to earth despite being the star of easily one of the largest film franchises EVER and he's just doing stuff for fun now and still so lovely
Miracle workers is so freaking underrated. Season 1 was so awesome, and Steve Buscemi was so funny. Dark ages was my favorite season so far and Daniels character is so outright hilarious. I’m really liking Oregon trail so far as well
Pretty excited Dan referenced Jean Brodie. That's where I fell in love with Maggie Smith and her incredible eyes. It is sheer coincidence she got to play one of the best characters in the HP series.
Listening to Radcliffe in interviews makes me REALLY hope that he gets a late night talk show presenter position later on in his career. I think he could be a *great* interviewer.
@@LafemmebearMusic You're saying that choosing to be friends with people who think differently than you makes you exactly like them? I mean, its not exactly advisable but its not a logical argument, either. Why don't you choose something that really matters to post about, like climate change.
@@LafemmebearMusic wow, so you wipe all people out of your life when they don’t wholly agree with you. Now that is what I call being bigoted. Just a couple of steps back from being racist. I do not see anything in what is quoted that indicates he is racist and is, in fact, calling out people who are. Can I encourage you to maybe re-examine your statement and understand how it perpetuates intolerance.
I know you all will continue to support him and I know this will at the very least sit in the back of you all’s heads now and you have to make a conscious decision to run away from it.
@@gollumandeowyn really? Wow! I guess Harry Potter was such a defining cultural touchstone for millennials that we just can’t see past anything else the young cast has done. (The older cast of course already had great credentials to begin with)
He played the lead in the play Equus which is a story about a young man who is sexually obsessed with horses. There’s a nude scene I’m not even going to describe here. You’d need to read the play. It’s brilliant.
@@debshaw680 I did hear about the Broadway plays, though of course sitting here in India, one can only dream of watching a Broadway show :-). I saw Daniel Radcliffe in some very underwhelming movies after Potter, and I was thinking he is gonna end up with the Mark Hamill curse, you know - played such an iconic character that you can never get another decent job again coz no one can see you as anything else. Glad that prediction didn’t come true.
I remember when the Miracle Workers episode where Dan sings and dances first came out. My husband and I sat with eyes and mouths wide open! And then we burst out laughing. Yes, because it was funny, but it was also great! The makeup and outfit were just perfect! His singing was amazing and so American! It was a highlight to our night. We found it on RUclips… if it was on actual video tape we would have warned it out!! Every now and then we bring it up. It’s like the first time we saw it. It doesn’t get old!! Thank you, Daniel Radcliffe for always topping yourself.. for your humor, your fantastic acting and for being a great, humble person! And thank you, Stephen Colbert for a great talk show. You beat the rest!!
As he matures, Dan reminds more and more of another great talent, Hugh Jackman. They both have worked in blockbuster movies and smaller independent movies, some TV and especially musical theater. Great fun!
Radcliffe's commitment to that dance and the level of embarrassing action required by the script completely dwarf the famous scene in Risky Business that people routinely give Tom Cruise accolades for.
That's kinda cool. I always wonder if they play a choice tune depending on the guest, but I rarely recognise any music. Thanks for mentioning the title.
I watched Daniel's dance scene on Miracle Workers and found my mouth hanging open in a combination of shock and disbelief...and a "Oh my" at the end! 🤗
Daniel seems like such a good guy, bet he's a lot of fun to hang out with. I think it's endearing that he's obviously a little nervous as well, always kept that humbleness about him. What a fun interview
Daniel Radcliffe delivers an example of a very friendly but consistent refusal of an unpleasantly intrusive and insistent request from an interviewer. An object lesson for interview coaches. That's how you do it!
I grew up Mormon, playing Oregon Trail on an Apple IiC. I don’t recall the dancing-in-drag portion of the game, but you have sufficiently renewed my interest, Mr. Radcliffe 😊
He is really a multitalented man.I mean he can act, sing, rap, dance. He is also executive producer of his show and in few years he is going to direct a movie and more than that a good human being 🥺 proud to be his fan 🙌 keep shining dan ❤
@@vicj2141 True, but many actors who work well from scripts are uncomfortable and unable to speak effortlessly on chat shows. Our Mr. Radcliffe shines.
I'm not sure how anyone could not love Daniel Radcliffe. I've been on a run of all his work lately & he's just so brilliant, both as an actor and as a person. And he is like this sexy man now! 😍 I've developed a pretty big crush! I loved the audience's reaction after he talked about his girlfriend - that was so sweet! She is one lucky girl!
There was a hilarious suggestion someone made a while back of a superhero movie with supervillain Elijah Wood, played by Daniel Radcliffe, and his evil minion Daniel Radcliffe, played by Elijah Wood.
@@LafemmebearMusic I echo THOUSANDS of replies (though, thankfully, most of your garbage has been reported , and blocked) in saying this: Daniel is a lovely, frank, honest person whose every comment gets scrutinized, so please JUST STFU. ... You must have an actual life to live, leave the keyboard and do something fruitful.
Awww how has my crush hasn't gone out for this man. Then I see interviews like this and realise how wonderful he really is and pat myself for loving him since my childhood 😍❤️
I had to (got to?) play Oregon Trail as part of my intermediate school Gifted & Talented class in the 5th grade, way back in 1985. Somehow I was elected team leader, and we plotted and planned and made all the right decisions and got lucky at all the right times, and made it all the way to the last pass over the mountains into the plains of Oregon without losing a single solitary member of our party and with just enough food to get us to the finish line plus a bit extra for contingencies. And then we drew the CRAP! card and everyone in our party died during a freak avalanche at the top of the pass. But nobody died of dysentery, so I guess I have that to hold on to, 36 years later.🤬🥶🤬🥶🤬🥶🤬☠️
We played it in our history class I think in 1980. I was a D&D player at the time (my older brother was the DM and invented many of his own scenarios) so our team kind of played it like that, as a big adventure, and took all kinds of stupid risks which annoyed the teacher. What was even worse for him was we were the only team that actually survived the entire way so I'm not sure it taught the lesson they hoped it would!
I played it in gifted class too! Everyone hated me because I got to leave regular class to do that and all kinds of things that didn’t further my education at all!
It's so good to see Daniel; I've missed seeing him on late night talk show run. I actually watched David Copperfield during the pandemic, he was amazing at 9 years old. Tore at the heartstrings as young David. I've watched everything he's been in (post- Potter) including last year's "Guns Akimbo" which was WILD - he cracked me up in this movie. And "Miracle Workers" is an hilarious dark and crazy ride, I have loved every season so far. I hope to see season 4! Looking forward to seeing him on the big screen next year. Funny, intelligent, kind - Dan is my dude! Adore him! ❤ 😊 He's rocking that beard and he's a cutie! 😊
The thrill of inserting that 5 1/4” floppy disk into the computer…and the embarrassment of finding out I died from pooping….that was my early childhood education. 🧡
Daniel only seeks out work that interests him. He's financially secure already so he made the decision to just have fun with it. Smart choice.
Uh. Interesting.
I love that you call filthy rich “financially secure “ 😅
Well, he's been working like an adult since he was 10 years old, which is more than we can say of really "filthy rich" people such as the Kardashians or any influencer/tiktok "model"/whatever
I wonder If he was offered the role of Wolverine would he take it
Yet people think he needs them to send him lego. LOL
He is so fun,
Daniel has turned out to be such a fun and fantastic actor. Way more than you expect from a child star like that.
@@LafemmebearMusic didn’t he call out Hollywood for being racist?
@@LafemmebearMusic so, basically he says he disagrees with rasists, and you conclude he's a racist.
And happy and well adjusted and humble. Also stunningly handsome. He's a rarity.
He's like the millennial version of Elijah Wood that way, isn't he?
Well Julie Andrews made it big as a child prodigy and shes still going strong.
He's still so gloriously awkward, and I love him for it.
ruclips.net/video/MOWRLLRZNMs/видео.html

Compaired to most stars he is also a really interesting and (at the same time) relatable personality. I have no idea why all interviews with him are so short and also why they keep asking the same questions over and over again. I wanna hear him talk about small stuff that interest him, not about HP.
He made an appearance on QI (Brit panel show) and was so sweetly awkward about being right on a rather difficult question.
He's very aware, he's obviously got add, his mind races around before he can fiend an answer, but as bad as ndt though (or as me). He knows about child actors, so he tries so hard but to be mean, but Marie still knocks in, like when 1 person clapped, then others joined he exclaimed: no you can't all just join in now! But that has a slickly negative tone towards it, because you're beating the person, but he then has to add the " but thanks anyway", to be polite
Daniel talks so fast and so eloquently at the same time, he sounds like a squirrell on drugs or something, i love it
"Squirrel on drugs", that's pretty accurate 😂😂
From what I recall, he was a big fan of American rap music and would often memorize rap lyrics and sing them, this is what led to him being so articulate and enthusiastically loquacious
You should see him rap!
I’ve been told for years that I sound like an angry squirrel when I speak, so I guess watching this is like hearing me with a deeper voice …when I’m not medicated
Have you seen him rap?
It is very important to reiterate that his character in the show is a preacher. This show is BANANAS in the BEST possible way, I love it.
I cant wait to see it
@@LafemmebearMusic how does that make him a racist?
omg now i want to see it
Love it too!

@@JackJackIsBackBack he answered questions but he refused to do things like mentioning something he’d like to be sent or doing an American accent
Now all we need is to get Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Holland together for a dance number. If they did it for charity, they'd raise millions!
Genius!
she'll be coming... under my umbrella-ella-ella :)
Omg ACTUALLY though like why hasn’t someone done this yet
Tom would 1000% win but Daniel would make it fun instead of just a competition
GIB
Thank you Stephen for actually allowing your guests to talk about their projects, themselves, and their interests. It's a much calmer style to watch
So much better than Jimmy "Talks Too Much" Fallon😒
Let's all thank Maggy for recomending Daniel for the role of Harry Potter 🥰
I line how he dropped that *huge* endorsement of his talent like it was nothing.
She also recommended him for the position of seeker. ;-)
He was ultimately chosen because he categorically refused to miss a football (soccer) practice for some test shoots even if it meant he would miss out on the part of being Harry Potter because he had made a promise to his teammates.

@@LafemmebearMusic You're saying that choosing to be friends with people who think differently than you makes you exactly like them? I mean, its not exactly advisable but its not a logical argument, either. Why don't you choose something that really matters to post about, like climate change.
@@LafemmebearMusic wow, so you wipe all people out of your life when they don’t wholly agree with you. Now that is what I call being bigoted. Just a couple of steps back from being racist. I do not see anything in what is quoted that indicates he is racist and is, in fact, calling out people who are. Can I encourage you to maybe re-examine your statement and understand how it perpetuates intolerance.
Daniel really seems like such a sweet actor, and I'm glad he seems to be having fun with his new works. 💖 :)
I know you all will continue to support him and I know this will at the very least sit in the back of you all’s heads now and you have to make a conscious decision to run away from it.

Never in a million years did I imagine that I would see Harry Potter playing a Western-male stripper. But here we are.
If you watch Queen's Gambit on Netflix you'll see Dudley Dursley portray an American Chess prodigy!
@@gollumandeowyn really? Wow! I guess Harry Potter was such a defining cultural touchstone for millennials that we just can’t see past anything else the young cast has done. (The older cast of course already had great credentials to begin with)
He played the lead in the play Equus which is a story about a young man who is sexually obsessed with horses. There’s a nude scene I’m not even going to describe here. You’d need to read the play. It’s brilliant.
@@mohamedfaizan9844 he had a massive body of work including 3 Broadway plays.
@@debshaw680 I did hear about the Broadway plays, though of course sitting here in India, one can only dream of watching a Broadway show :-). I saw Daniel Radcliffe in some very underwhelming movies after Potter, and I was thinking he is gonna end up with the Mark Hamill curse, you know - played such an iconic character that you can never get another decent job again coz no one can see you as anything else.
Glad that prediction didn’t come true.
I remember when the Miracle Workers episode where Dan sings and dances first came out. My husband and I sat with eyes and mouths wide open! And then we burst out laughing. Yes, because it was funny, but it was also great! The makeup and outfit were just perfect! His singing was amazing and so American! It was a highlight to our night. We found it on RUclips… if it was on actual video tape we would have warned it out!! Every now and then we bring it up. It’s like the first time we saw it. It doesn’t get old!!
Thank you, Daniel Radcliffe for always topping yourself.. for your humor, your fantastic acting and for being a great, humble person!
And thank you, Stephen Colbert for a great talk show. You beat the rest!!
He is a treasure. Been following his career since HP and never regretted it. Not just a great actor but an amazing person 🤍
As he matures, Dan reminds more and more of another great talent, Hugh Jackman. They both have worked in blockbuster movies and smaller independent movies, some TV and especially musical theater. Great fun!
wait. . . like wolverine, hugh jackman?
amazing!
I love how quarky hes become hes truly a gift hope to watch Daniel Radcliffe for years to come
Quirky? I like his quirkiness, too! 😉
I love how he shows his quirkiness now too
He seems like a nice person
Quarky? Charm? or strange?
@@nickdejager8873 yes
@@carolynworthington8996
I'll add punctuation to the list. I could barely read it. I had to go through twice.
Radcliffe's commitment to that dance and the level of embarrassing action required by the script completely dwarf the famous scene in Risky Business that people routinely give Tom Cruise accolades for.
Shout out to Job Batiste and Stay Human for that lovely an fitting version of 'Oh Danny Boy'
That's kinda cool. I always wonder if they play a choice tune depending on the guest, but I rarely recognise any music. Thanks for mentioning the title.
Batiste is the man
For those of us who are older, Danny Thomas also used this song as his theme.
I've heard Dan hates being called Danny though
That was so beautiful, I didn't want it to end!!
Miracle workers is a great show. I binged watched all the current episodeds and am absolutely hooked
It’s finally on Hulu? Thank you. I can’t wait to watch
The new season is absolutely the best of them all.
The other seasons are great too... love it! Totally unique
Just did the same thing - I feel like it's filling a 'The Good Place' size hole in my heart
@@thomlinford 🤣
Harry’s beard/hair grooming = *chef’s kiss*
I watched Daniel's dance scene on Miracle Workers and found my mouth hanging open in a combination of shock and disbelief...and a "Oh my" at the end! 🤗
Daniel seems like such a good guy, bet he's a lot of fun to hang out with. I think it's endearing that he's obviously a little nervous as well, always kept that humbleness about him. What a fun interview
Daniel Radcliffe delivers an example of a very friendly but consistent refusal of an unpleasantly intrusive and insistent request from an interviewer. An object lesson for interview coaches. That's how you do it!

I have seen many British actors and actresses do it beautifully.
10:21 Daniel looks kind of embarrassed after watching his dance and it's so cuteeeeee😭😭😭😭
I grew up Mormon, playing Oregon Trail on an Apple IiC. I don’t recall the dancing-in-drag portion of the game, but you have sufficiently renewed my interest, Mr. Radcliffe 😊
It's a secret cut scene, kind of tricky to get but totally worth it.
I will never in all my days get tired of watching him Vogue
Love Daniel. So funny and charismatic, it’s so great that we have been able to see that side of him beyond HP
He is really a multitalented man.I mean he can act, sing, rap, dance. He is also executive producer of his show and in few years he is going to direct a movie and more than that a good human being 🥺 proud to be his fan 🙌 keep shining dan ❤
"Jim, can we give them a taste of his dancing?" *RUclips inserts a TACOBELL AD instead of letting me watch the iconic dance scene
Lol...I got Geico
I also got the posh-speaking gecko... for a second I thought, Damn Daniel got range!
🧐😲😆
Dan’s haircut and beard are doing good work here.
He is so down to earth. He's funny as hell. I like his little dance too💝
I always say: I respect celebrities when they acknowledge the band.
He’s just so genuine and honest about who he is. I absolutely love Daniel even more now. Thanks for the AMAZING interview!
He is the perfect guest, really.
He grew up in front of a camera.
@@vicj2141 True, but many actors who work well from scripts are uncomfortable and unable to speak effortlessly on chat shows. Our Mr. Radcliffe shines.
He is such a sweetheart, what a lovely man
All I can say: I deeply and honestly wish this interview had lasted way longer. I could listen to Radcliffe talking for HOURS.
I absolutely love DR. This interview made my morning amazing. He's such a good soul. And he's got such range. I'm always impressed how far he's come.
He is absolutely adorable and such a versatile actor!! So impressed by him
Thanks for being an example of kindness and humility Daniel.
Why does this guy cheer me up so much? And so does his dance. He's great
I am glad Daniel Radcliff had fun doing that dance. It was SO funny watching. He's just a JOY!
As any girl of my age, I had a bit of a crush on Daniel during the Potter days. It is so great to see he grew up to be such a cool and quirky guy.
I'm not sure how anyone could not love Daniel Radcliffe. I've been on a run of all his work lately & he's just so brilliant, both as an actor and as a person. And he is like this sexy man now! 😍 I've developed a pretty big crush! I loved the audience's reaction after he talked about his girlfriend - that was so sweet! She is one lucky girl!
The dance scene is very good, big Tim Curry vibes.
So true, not just anyone can pull that off ❤️
Ok if they ever do a reboot of TRHPS, dan needs to up the top of the list
I felt those Frank N. Furter vibes, too!
@@LafemmebearMusic how does that make HIM racist? Guilt by association?
@@LafemmebearMusic Well dang. That's a strange crowd. Hope he doesn't practise the same misanthropic ideologies like his friends
That voice and accent is to die for!
What a joy to see that he’s grown into a lovely, beautiful man, and a delightful human being.
Radcliffe: "I don't even want to play this game"
The World: Sends waves of Monopoly, Battleship, Connect Four, Hungry Hungry Hippos...
Yeah, that IS a list of games no one should want to play.
You have no idea!
That scene was absolutely hilarious he comes out all juiced up lmao I was crying watching this scene in miracle workers
I think Mr Radcliffe has ruined an old song for me in the best possible way; with fabulous dancing.
Same I'm *NEVER* going to be able to listen to that song again & not see that dance.
Let's be fair, he massively improved it.
I can't get the song -- or the images -- out of my brain. And it's been at least a week!!
I can ruin it further... it's actually a very dirty song...
I remember learning this song in elementary school and he has corrupted it… not that I’m complaining ;)
How awesome would be a movie with Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood. Maybe as brothers. It would confuse the heck out of the audience. :D
For years I’ve thought they should do Tale of Two Cities. It would be epic.
A comedy crime city caper
would be cool with the two of them
And Toby McGuire
There was a hilarious suggestion someone made a while back of a superhero movie with supervillain Elijah Wood, played by Daniel Radcliffe, and his evil minion Daniel Radcliffe, played by Elijah Wood.
I am still shocked people think they look alike. I have never seen it
he's still that gigly,goofy,funny dan....i really love him so very much
What a lovely person! Take your pick it applies to everyone on this video : Daniel, Stephen, Jean-Baptist
Jon Batiste killed it with the band on the intro. ❤️
@@LafemmebearMusic I echo THOUSANDS of replies (though, thankfully, most of your garbage has been reported , and blocked) in saying this: Daniel is a lovely, frank, honest person whose every comment gets scrutinized, so please JUST STFU. ... You must have an actual life to live, leave the keyboard and do something fruitful.
Strong rocky picture horror show vibe from the dancing scene, good job, Potter!
There's a bad version of everything, but D doesn't have a bad version, living legend of the 21st century 🙏🙏🙏
He has evolved and gotten better at his craft, an amazing young man, love him, and multitalented.
Could totally see Daniel play Frank n furter in rocky Horror show
Y E S
Yes he would be amazing as soon as I saw that I thought it
Daniel Radcliffe looks like he is a lovely human being. This interview was a delight. Thank you.
I was expecting a lot of things with the build up for that dance thing and I still wasn't expecting that hahahahaha hell yes
A great actor and a great human.
Gary Oldman is a very good first person to be Starstruck by. He's one of the most underrated actors of all time
But I just love how fitting that whole set up was because it is exactly like Sirius and Harry.
I have always loved Daniel he has become such a wonderful adult. He is so British and awkward and I love it.
Awww how has my crush hasn't gone out for this man. Then I see interviews like this and realise how wonderful he really is and pat myself for loving him since my childhood 😍❤️
The look on Daniel’s face when Stephen says ‘Alan Rickman’ made me pause the video for a bit and take a few deep breaths.
It's impossible not to like him. What a gentleman and terrific actor 🥰
Continued Success & Love, Daniel... What a great performer!
when the dance scene happened when we were watching the episode, my sister and i SCREAMED, it was the best thing
Miracle Workers is fucking hilarious. Love the current season
I had to (got to?) play Oregon Trail as part of my intermediate school Gifted & Talented class in the 5th grade, way back in 1985. Somehow I was elected team leader, and we plotted and planned and made all the right decisions and got lucky at all the right times, and made it all the way to the last pass over the mountains into the plains of Oregon without losing a single solitary member of our party and with just enough food to get us to the finish line plus a bit extra for contingencies. And then we drew the CRAP! card and everyone in our party died during a freak avalanche at the top of the pass. But nobody died of dysentery, so I guess I have that to hold on to, 36 years later.🤬🥶🤬🥶🤬🥶🤬☠️
We played it in our history class I think in 1980. I was a D&D player at the time (my older brother was the DM and invented many of his own scenarios) so our team kind of played it like that, as a big adventure, and took all kinds of stupid risks which annoyed the teacher. What was even worse for him was we were the only team that actually survived the entire way so I'm not sure it taught the lesson they hoped it would!
I played it in gifted class too! Everyone hated me because I got to leave regular class to do that and all kinds of things that didn’t further my education at all!
I knew a little girl back then who gave all of her travelers the same name. That way, she just about always had at least one survivor.
Wow!
I remember that game……. I was too young and didn’t like it because everyone always died very quickly 🤣
He is so gorgeously handsome 😍 that dancing scene was spectacular 😯🌠 I love you Daniel ❤️
I love the touch of the band playing "Oh Danny Boy" as he enters the set
It's so good to see Daniel; I've missed seeing him on late night talk show run. I actually watched David Copperfield during the pandemic, he was amazing at 9 years old. Tore at the heartstrings as young David. I've watched everything he's been in (post- Potter) including last year's "Guns Akimbo" which was WILD - he cracked me up in this movie. And "Miracle Workers" is an hilarious dark and crazy ride, I have loved every season so far. I hope to see season 4! Looking forward to seeing him on the big screen next year. Funny, intelligent, kind - Dan is my dude! Adore him! ❤ 😊 He's rocking that beard and he's a cutie! 😊
Absolutely, he's a ray of sunshine that danny boy 🥰🥰🥰🌅🌅🌅
The thrill of inserting that 5 1/4” floppy disk into the computer…and the embarrassment of finding out I died from pooping….that was my early childhood education. 🧡
The only child actor that turned out to be a wonderful human being in the long run. Still humble 🙂
To be so known worldwide for one thing, and then still go on to have your own incredibly successful career in other roles is... absolutely amazing.
I love true love.... it's hard to find. I'm glad this actor has found that type of love.
Daniel is so down to earth and real, he's not trying to be anything other than himself.
Daniel is my dream celebrity date! Flippin love him, he is so cool!!!
"I like high end Bourbon" okay, so, now I need to see Colbert visit the Whiskey Tribe. 😆
“Complicated vogueing” I love it!!!
yesssss I knew he would come onto this show again! How full circle! The first quarantine guest is now back in person! This makes me so happy!!!
i love the fact that he tries all these roles, what a great actor! 👏
