Filming over ten years, with a huge cast, including teens? There’s surely some juicy secrets to be spilled… and pretty weird ones at that! Now the franchise is over – well, not counting Fantastic Beasts and Cursed Child – Daniel Radcliffe has let go of the weirdest secret from the set!
Daniel was drunk during the filming of some scenes, as his drinking spiralled out of control
Daniel Radcliffe admitted that his drinking became a problem during the filming for Harry Potter; even filming a few scenes drunk! His nightly alcohol-fuelled sessions meant that he was going into work drunk and it left him “dead behind the eyes”. It was the pressures of fame that drove him to to the bottle, reportedly going off the rails at 18 (when he was filming The Half-blood Prince). Passing out every night and rolling into work still inebriated made him worry about becoming a full-blown alcoholic; at age 20, he became a ‘recluse’ leading him to drink by himself at home. Being thrust into the limelight at age 11 and receiving criticism on your acting, behaviour and personal life is surely enough to make you seek comfort. Who needs that during puberty?!
