Daniel Radcliffe: Playing Harry Potter never felt cool
By Callum Gunn
You would think that being able to be The Boy Who Lived would be the coolest gig ever, but Daniel Radcliffe confessed that he never felt that it was.
As a self-confessed Potterhead, I think we have all at point in our fandom lives imagined ourselves as The Boy Who Lived. Fighting against Dementors and Death Eaters, toppling Lord Voldemort. What couldn’t be cooler? Well, according to Daniel Radcliffe, anything might have been cooler because being Harry Potter wasn’t something that made him feel cool.
While attending The Tonight Show, to promote his new Broadway production, The Lifespan of a Fact, Daniel Radcliffe talked about his time playing Harry Potter. Confessing that he never actually felt very cool playing the kid with the lightning bolt scar, it was a very revealing moment, especially for all of us Potterhead’s.
