  Rather than hanging out playing bongos or hang gliding all day with his millionaire buddies, Radcliffe revealed to GQ that more than anything he just wants to make stuff because that's what he does. And he doesn't place any kind of film above another in terms of prestige; he just wants to be a guy who does the job, and that's admirable. 

  It's my total ambition at some point in my life to be in some massive shitty big disaster movie. But I'm in an amazing position, which is that I have a certain amount of financial security and that allows me to do things that make me happy, and things that will fulfill me and challenge me, with people I'll have a good time with. 
• (#14) He's Not Weird About Harry Potter

  Most actors who spent a decade playing an incredibly popular character really don't want to talk about the thing that made them famous, but not Radcliffe; he actually appears pretty chill about the whole phenomenon. While playing "20 questions" with Playboy, he laid his feelings out:

  A huge part of our culture now is that if something becomes successful there’s a backlash. Harry Potter didn’t have that. There are people who don’t want to read it, but the number of people who actively dislike it is very low. The books are great, and they came along at the perfect moment, when there was a fear, because of the rise of computer games, that reading was going to become a thing of the past. When kids suddenly found these books, it was something everyone could get behind as a global populace.
• (#5) Alan Rickman Was Very Important To Him

  People are constantly dying, but when an actor you let into your home passes away, it always feels like death is even more apparent. For Radcliffe, the passing of his Harry Potter co-star, Alan Rickman, was obviously a huge blow. After the monumental actor's passing, Radcliffe penned a heartfelt tribute to Rickman highlighting Rickman's excellent qualities, and it showed Daniel's desire to always better himself through his peers.

  He wrote: "As an actor he was one of the first of the adults on Potter to treat me like a peer rather than a child. Working with him at such a formative age was incredibly important and I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life and career. Film sets and theatre stages are all far poorer for the loss of this great actor and man."
• (#19) He's Incredibly Honest In Interviews

  During an interview with Variety, Radcliffe and his long-time girlfriend, Erin Darke, discussed their interactions with tabloid paparazzi. According to Darke, most of the photos the tabloids take are of them getting coffee or going to the grocery store. "Dan is not the most exciting celebrity," she explained.

  And Radcliffe agreed. "I'm really not," he said. "I’ve bored the paparazzi out of following me."

  This was never clearer (or cleverer) than when Radcliffe wore the same outfit for several months while he was appearing in the play Equus in 2007. This effectively made tabloid photos of him unusable. As he explained later that year:

  I would wear the same outfit every single time with different T-shirts underneath but I would wear the same jacket and zip it up so they couldn't see what I was wearing underneath, and the same hat. So they could take photos for six months but it would look like the same day. They became un-publishable, which was hilarious because there's nothing better than seeing the paparazzi get really frustrated.
• (#1) He Read 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone' For Everyone Stuck In Quarantine

  Parents, teachers and carers working to keep children amused and interested while we’re on lockdown might need a bit of magic, so I’m delighted to launch https://t.co/cPg0dZpexB pic.twitter.com/i0ZjTplVoU

  The Wizarding World website introduced "Harry Potter At Home" to offer fans a chance to read through the first Harry Potter book with cast members from the films and other guests associated with the Wizarding World. Harry himself, Daniel Radcliffe, "introduces the Dursleys, who don’t like anything mysterious," as he reads the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. 
• (#10) He's A Sensitive Romantic Who Waxes On Real Love

  How do you know when someone loves you? Daniel Radcliffe has been pondering this for quite some time it seems. In Parade Magazine, he expounded on how hard it is to find someone that you truly want to be with. “We all grow up with an idea of what love is. It’s this all-conquering thing that when you find it, all the other problems you have will be overwhelmed and conquered by it. Part of the process of growing up is realizing that that’s not how it works. Actually, there are lots of other things that need to be put into a relationship as well [as love]. Especially if you’re in that situation where you are a friend and are thinking about potentially jeopardizing your friendship for something [more]. That is a situation which most people are in at some point.”

  Don't you wish he was your best friend?
