Daniel Radcliffe has admitted to GQ magazine he “‘became too ‘reliant’ on alcohol while filming the last few outings in the Harry Potter franchise.” The Guardian‘s Xan Brooks, lifting from the monthly, quotes Radcliffe as saying “there were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me.”
Radcliffe “admits [that] his lifestyle became an issue on the set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” the article says. “He went on to claim he has not touched alcohol since August 2010, shortly after completing work on the final Potter production. ‘There’s no shame in enjoying a quiet life,’ the 21 year-old actor says. ‘And that’s been the realization of the past few years for me.'”
