Daniel Radcliffe Answers MORE of the Web's Most Searched Questions | WIRED

hi i'm dan radcliffe and i am back again for a wired autocomplete part two it's weird watching yourself as a kid oh was it great okay so i'm consistent oh so this is a test this is what daniel radcliffe okay what is daniel radcliffe's favorite harry potter i actually love the fifth one which is not one that most people cite as one of their favorites but i got to work with gary oldman a bunch in it and i was sort of a little bit older at that point so i was kind of able to appreciate that more but to watch probably the last one what is daniel radcliffe age i recently turned 32 when i tell people that i'm 30 people just they go sort of pale and look like the inception with the you know on the beach at the end when they've aged a thousand years it's like that what plays has daniel radcliffe been in i did a play called equus um which people probably know as being the play about a psychologically disturbed kid who is obsessed with horses and gets naked that's the detail you probably remember i did that when i was 17 which seems crazy to say out loud now but i did i did a play by martin mcdonough uh called the of finnish man that was a lot of fun i did a musical called how to succeed in business without really trying i'm just i'm just listening my cv for you now but that's fine i want to go back to broadway at some point um and and the west end oh and i did end game i did end game in london it's right before the pandemic as well it's the most recent that's embarrassing that i forgot that one i love i love film as well but like stage you get a pure adrenaline rush every night which is really really exciting and addictive what is what is daniel radcliffe's accent i mean english just like kind of boring middle of the road english that means london i guess i've really been told that my american accent which is what comes out when i do an american accent i've been told i sound like i'm from ohio quite consistently i don't even really know what that means but i do know that chris columbus who was directed the first two potters i think he's also from ohio so maybe in some way i'm just kind of mirroring the american accent i heard the most growing up but my own accent is just boring boring english who daniel radcliffe who does daniel radcliffe support i'm assuming this means you know uh in terms of sports and not like emotionally i have become like an avid fan of many american sports my loyalties in terms of rooting interests are generally split between new york teams and detroit teams because my girlfriend is from just outside detroit yeah i'm like a red wings hockey fan and detroit lions but also you know the giants and rangers and obviously england in anything that we're even remotely competitive in the football team that i grew up supporting in the uk is full of football club but yeah i'm a much less big soccer fan than you would expect from an english person who voices daniel radcliffe in bodak horsemen me um i did it yeah it would have been actually an amazing considering what the the episode the joke that that episode ends with if if they had had elijah would voice me in that but they did not who does daniel radcliffe look like oh a perfect segue the idea of me and elijah wood is the same we don't actually look that alike but if you imagine all our component parts we're just sort of short pale blue-eyed big-eyed brown-haired people who does elijah wood look like see above i suppose i would love to be an immigrant with elijah at this point it feels like it would have to be something that is consciously using the way the world sees us as linked and and you know uh similar looking i'm very open to pitches uh there's no way you can do that because i'm not on social media but you know if it's good it'll get to me is that irritative okay is daniel radcliffe in cursed child no i'm i'm not that is the the harry potter play i'm not in it i haven't actually seen it as well not because of the content of the play but just because i imagine the crowd would lean towards big harry potter fans in a really significant way so i i feel like being in there just might be like people might be watching me watch it and that's that feels weird i've heard it is absolutely fantastic though and everybody who has goes has a wonderful time is daniel radcliffe knighted no very much not that is very very far from from a thing that i am or will ever be i i would imagine is daniel rad that's great that is truly unexpected is daniel radcliffe the geico gecko no i mean i think i think that advertising campaign pre-existed at a time where i would be doing voice-over work just because i think i would probably sound like a teenager at the time there's a thing in the ad that always really annoys me when when he's like people don't know if i'm english or australian it's like no you're obviously english you sound very english you would know that uh no i'm not the gekko and i obviously have other thoughts about it which i'm just discovering now as well is dana radcliff a time traveler i can't talk about this here no i i think this refers to a an amazing quality that apparently my face has it crops up in old photos a lot a lot of the photos also have sort of harry potter-ish glasses on but there are truly are some of them that are just eerie they found one of like an old lady in like a bonnet i think and glasses it is insane how much i look like this old woman but if i was i wouldn't be able to reveal that information because i would screw up like the future is daniel reichler still friends with tom felton yes absolutely we're all kind of all over the place we don't see each other much but yeah i'm still like in contact with all of them and it's like like we were all you know obviously text rupert last year when he had his baby which is truly insane and amazing i always say we'll always be bonded by this thing even if we don't like kind of live in each other's pockets anymore thank you olivia all right why daniel radcliffe that's a great question in and of itself why did daniel radcliffe become an actor i had like expressed an interest in acting when i was like five or six and then i saw a comedy play that my mum took me to and i turned around to her as like i want to be an actor and she having been an actor and not had the greatest experience of it was like no you don't want to do that and i didn't really think about it again for a long time and then they were auditioning people to play david copperfield for the bbc more as like a self-esteem thing they were like maybe he can have an audition and that just the experience of auditioning will have been a thing that none of the other kids in the class will have and then on that project i worked with maggie smith she played my aunt in that and then it was her who i think recommended me to the director for potter so yes thank you maggie why is daniel radcliffe walking dogs i assume this refers to a photo of me on the set of train wreck it was a set and i'm playing a character i have not just become a dog walker in in real life i i was doing a play in new york it was the crippled vintage man i think john appetite came and saw it and came back to my dressing room after and was like would you be up for doing like a really silly small cameo in this this movie i thought he was just being kind of nice and then he at some point he phoned me and talked me through like what i would be doing and yeah it was great it was such a fun day and that photo my god that photo went everywhere why did daniel radcliffe quit harry potter oh oh punch is for you i didn't quit they finished no i i obviously did not quit and i and i would not have because it was it was awesome i am now done and now being done i do not feel an urge to to rush back to it just because it was um you know like it's a gigantic life-changing thing and i feel like having come out of it i've i've managed to like get my life in a in a level that i kind of you know can manage and feels dealable with but i also never say never because that's a dumb thing to say why is daniel radcliffe in halifax last year i my girlfriend was shooting a tv show in nova scotia and so i was hanging out in halifax for like a good long while like a couple of months and i think people were really confused but it also happened it happens all the time because aaron's from flint in michigan and whenever we go back there people are just like i created a small scene at a bob evans in in michigan but they also that bob evans was so sweet like the press the local press heard that i had been to this bob evans and so they they phoned them up and asked what i had and what i ate and the bob evans no commented they said like they wouldn't tell them as like a matter of my privacy i was like that's you didn't need to you could have told them i had an omelet i wouldn't have minded but it's really nice of you why isn't daniel radcliff verified on instagram because i am not on instagram and the person who if they're saying it's me they are not telling the truth i commend all of you out there who are mentally strong enough to be on social media all the time i am not one of those people i would go fully insane so yeah i'm i'm staying staying off for now thank you does daniel radcliffe does daniel raghav actually wear glasses no as you can see from my face i have not got contact lenses in either i was prescribed glasses when i was really young and i kept losing them and at a certain point my parents were like you can see right and i was like yeah fine and they were like okay i think we're good then the glasses like whenever i play another character that has glasses it's the most involved i get in props ever because i'm just like we have to be very specific about which glasses we're choosing here and they cannot be reminiscent of they cannot be perfectly circular basically does daniel radcliffe have tattoos not yet again i really do want some but again i've been talking about this for so long there will always be like a makeup artist who i know who will be like don't do it we have to cover them and we secretly hate you for it but i think i'm gonna bite the bullet at some point because i do i really like them talk to me in 10 years when i am covered just head to toe does daniel radcliffe like being famous some of these questions are simple some of them are complicated i like my job a side effect of my job is that i'm famous but generally speaking like when you hear people say that they want to be famous and like anonymity is a really cool thing like it's it allows you to do a lot and make mistakes and like them not feel like all very very high stakes all the time and so there's yeah there's definitely like some parts of fame that are just weird and that i've had to like grow into realizing what they are because they're all such a part of my life if fame is the part of my job that i have to like deal with to do my job i would make that deal like ten times out of ten like it's it's not even a question does dana writer play minecraft minecraft and and olivia rodrigo have been two of the real like oh i'm old moments of recently minecraft obviously a few years ago i was playing with my my godson or attempting to play and he was like explaining it to me and i was saying all the old person things of just like i don't get it how is it a game when do we when does it finish it seems very cool just can't do it and then yeah olivia rodriguez was the same thing where she was like at the white house and i was like oh you're famous enough to be at the white house and this is the first time i'm hearing about you so but that's that i completely accept that is that is on me not anyone else but yeah they've been real real watershed moments recently does daniel reckon like anime you know i think i would like anime a lot even now i'm going am i even versed enough to know what anime specifically refers to like it's certain series right but like is avatar the last airbender anime that i'm into that was great i know it's a lot more in-depth than that but yeah i i don't i don't think i am but i probably would be if i like really got into it what's daniel radcliffe what is danielle ryancliff's favorite movie there's a movie called a matter of life and death it was made by i think paul and press burger in like 19 i was saying like 1952 and it's this magical realist story about like a fighter pilot getting shot down over the channel but then the angels miss him in the chaos of war so he has to like go to heaven and make a case that he should be allowed to keep living it's so imaginative and fun and yeah you know in terms of like films i have re-watched the most it's probably the um ben foster led teen movie get over it it was one of the first films that my girlfriend and i bonded over yeah it's like an incredible car it's like ben foster kirsten dunst mila kunis colin hanks like so many people are in that martin short is unbelievable in it great movie so two very different films for you to check out there what did daniel radcliffe get in his gcses one a star two ways and the rest bees it is funny how much at the time you're like man these gcse results they are going to matter forever if you're currently revising for them or studying for them i am so sorry it sucks and it will be over soon what does daniel radcliffe smell like hmm i don't know because i smell myself all the time i'd imagine coffee and probably like in the summer just sweat it's it's unpleasant probably what did daniel radcliffe pull out of his head in jungle so yeah there's a scene in a film i did called jungle where my character is a real person who got lost in the jungle he realizes that there is something living under his skin and he has to get rid of that it's a very very gross quite hard to watch seen in the movie one of my favorite prosthetics that i've ever worn you could do the whole thing practically of like open it and pull it out sorry this is really gross i feel like it's worth mentioning that in the film we gave you one of them in real life yossi had like 10 to 20 of them all over his body that he had to get out one by one there's just some things that happened to you that were so extreme that yeah we we we went with like a slightly easier version daniel ragler this is just my name can i marry daniel radcliffe you know no i'm probably not but but that doesn't mean you won't meet someone great i i yeah i've always been very uh you know awkward around this question but if you met me you'd be like ah no i don't know that guy it's fine what is daniel radcliffe up to these days the third season of this very very funny incredibly lovely show that i do called miracle workers this season is is the most insane we've ever done so far at one point they called me into the writers room on zoom and were like we have something to pitch you and they're like they don't do that normally like i trust them they don't have to run stuff by me but they were like you appear in this crazy outfit and you do a disco version of she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes whilst like twerking and voguing i'm not somebody who's ever gonna tamp down somebody else's creative spirit so i was like yeah okay and i'm game for something slightly crazy it's one of the most insane things i've ever shot also one of the most fun days i've ever had on a film set i also just finished filming a movie called the lost city of d with channing tatum and sandra bullock in dominican republic and it's it's awesome it really is like i i hope that cinemas are kind of up and going again by then and people feel comfortable doing that so that you know it's a real like grab your friends on some popcorn and cheer at the screen like it's a really good fun movie how many films has daniel radcliffe been in ah that's a great question i don't know i i at last the last time i counted it was probably like he was mid-twenties i look at like like michael caine's imdb and he's been in like more than a hundred movies i think whenever you want motivating just look at michael kane's imdb you go yeah you can you can keep working if you want to how many times did daniel radcliffe break his wand this is a rumor i would like to disperse there is a thing that i sometimes see on twitter that's like when i am going on it to not have one but look at other people's amazing fact a weird trivia thing will pop up and it'll be like downright have broke a hundred ones or like 60 ones on set it's not that many guys i used to like uh use them in like a drum on my leg with it the whole time and like be doing that all the time and eventually you know you sort of wear them down and and they will break but yeah it's it wasn't it wasn't as many as that i feel like everyone got through a few and i was probably 12 maximum absolute maximum of 20. finally daniel radcliffe periodic table i learned the tom lehrer song the elements when i was like 16 or 17. i don't know why i was that kind of teenager i love anything that's like wordy and fast and a bit of a challenge and i got to meet tom lehrer one day the guy who wrote that song and many other songs if you take anything away from this go and just like download an evening wasted with tom lehrer there's a lot of other stuff in there that is truly uh holds up brilliantly today cool the one that like riled me slightly i was like why did he quit harry potter i'm like is that a thing people are thinking that happened but no that's what's wonderful about this segment you give me a chance to correct that so thank you so much for having me back wired
