I think Dan seems to be a really down-to-earth and intelligent guy. He seems to have the right mind-set and has stayed grounded even though HP boomed. Not your ordinary actor who just takes any generic part he can get his hands on, but chooses parts that are unconventional and original.

[@toddlerboybambam6882]

I Believe that Dan is a great actor, not just because of growing up with his early films like Harry Potter. But seeing how he takes on roles and acts with honesty. I also like the fact, that he is always humble when talking about him self and others...you dont see that too often among actors!! Keep up the brilliant work Dan!! :-)

[@galensmith4979]

He has become such a wonderful actor...

[@Vi.wo13]

Excuse you, what do you mean has BECOME!?

[@avawills]

@@Vi.wo13 they probably mean he has grown up to be such a wonderful actor since being a famous child star like he’s been one all along but grown up well :)

[@toddlerboybambam6882]

I Believe that he is a great Actor! Not because of him playing as Harry Potter , but because of how he embraces each role with honesty!! Plus, he has always seemed too be humble when talking about him self and others, which is nice and don't happen too often among actors ! Keep of the Great work Dan!!!

[@tiffanykim2773]

[@mayitaradclifferadcliffe2514]

Dan is my love

[@serena1745]

Perché è cosi bello??? 😭😭😭💖💖💖 I love you, Dan!

[@EphemeralProductions]

i love how they managed, probably unintenionally, to include part of the hair light on the right side of the frame. LOL Sorry, photography student here and that knowledge was kicking in! LOL

[@woodsarthobbies6515]

I wonder what roles he will play when his is 50.

[@queuesnake704]

Question rather than a statement.

[@attackpatterndelta8949]

It’s interesting that this is only shot from two angles. Just off head on and profile.

[@infertiles5488]

Harry potter

[@josh9671]

You always have that one person who doesn't like the video

[@flydefloridan2375]

tl;dw Can someone explain?

[@beattheodds6219]

Lol!! "Learnt"

[@nataliecook8530]

That's how they say "learned" in England. :)

[@SumtingWong343]

Daniel Radcliff about Acting?... He can't even act. He is a nice guy yeah but he's not a good actor

[@chrismhp]

He took on Equus at 17. The guy can act.

[@SumtingWong343]

He took on Equus because he is Daniel Radcliffe... To me Radcliffe was one of the weakest actor in the harry potter franchise!!

[@chandlerlucas7754]

SHUT UP @Xavier Juneau! Of course he is a nice guy but Daniel's acting is amazing u bum! I bet u absolute true random weirdo are wanting to say it as a joke! YOU COMPLETE AND OBVIOUS LIAR!!!! He already has been doing intelligent and interesting things 2 help him become realistic, underrated, successful as he can and work hard as he can!! He is not afraid to move on!! If you watch his interviews especially this video, himself is truly artistic and intelligent too. DO U HAVE EYES? WE ARE NOT GOING 2 AGREE THAT HE WAS THE WEAKEST ACTOR IN HARRY POTTER EITHER!!! Did you watch the franchise? A majority of his movies got highest ratings and they said " Daniel Radcliffe is marvelous and fantastic." I don't care whether if you are jealous, the quote will defend him against your hate. " Don't try too hard to be something you're not." -Daniel Radcliffe That means be yourself and that also even means you need to control your own business on being yourself! Indeed, it's okay to give feedbacks on people but you need to respect. He will continue to do things that could prove you wrong. DON'T COMPARE! DON'T BE SNOBBY! DON'T U DARE BE JUDGMENTAL! LET HIM BE HIMSELF AND BE THE BEST HE CAN BE! SO PLEASE LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! RESPECT HIM! GO 2 HELL U JEALOUS, IMMATURE, AND IGNORANT RANDOM HATER!!!!!! WHAT A STUPID BULLY YOU ARE!

[@chandlerlucas7754]

chandler lucas He is also serious in this interview and all of his other interviews also! Watch!

[@MissQueeen]

Daniel Radcliffe is one of my favorite people, but I agree with you. He landed a very popular role, and I guarantee you everyone watching this video is a Daniel Radcliffe fan. That may make it difficult to see that he's just not Oscar material right now. Even scenes from the last 'Harry Potter' film were awkward because the cast just couldn't act (even after 7 movies together!). Then again, Warner Bros. could only choose British actors so their options were limited. Gary Oldman is probably the only person from the 'Harry Potter' cast that I would interview for this.
