Daniel Radcliffe on life beyond Harry Potter
Speaking in a recent interview with The New York Times, Radcliffe shared that his young son is still unaware that his father played Harry Potter in one of the biggest film franchises of all time. Daniel said, "Does my son know who Harry Potter is? No, not yet. Somebody gave me a DVD to sign recently, and so it was sitting on our kitchen table for a couple of days. And at one point, he was next to it, and I was just like, 'Who’s that?' I’d see if he’d recognize me on the cover and he didn’t, which was great." While the actor occasionally encounters reminders of the role through fans and pop culture references, he joked that his son has yet to make the connection.
