During the interview, Radcliffe also described Rickman as “generous” and Maggie Smith as “sharp as a knife”. There were eight films in all that were released between 2001 and 2011.
It is not only Radcliffe that has not moved on.
The former Harry Potter star says that he would go for “epic five-hour walks” whenever he was tempted to hit the bottle, but changed track soon after because “I found you just roll around in your head”. Since then he starred on the stage in Equus and How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying, and on film he’s appeared in December Boys, The F Word, Trainwreck, and Swiss Army Man. Entitled Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the play takes on the story of an adult Harry Potter with his son Albus Severues, woven together by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany.

He explained: “I just went out with a cap on, and you have to hope that the person you’re dating is understanding and not made to feel awkward by someone coming up or anything like that, but you just do it. That was always the weird thing”.
