Daniel Radcliffe Reveals His Alcohol Addiction

Daniel Radcliffe started out as Harry Potter at a young age so it should come as no surprise that he has admitted to turning to alcohol to help himself enjoy life during the filming of the last two Potter movies.

Radcliffe, who was sprung into stardom at 11-years-old, is featured in the new issue of GQ magazine and in it he admits to turning to alcohol and then becoming “reliant” on it to have a good time.

Although he says that he didn’t plan on becoming the next childstar to go off the rails so he hasn’t had a drink since last August and instead likes to enjoy quiet nights in with his girlfriend, who is rumored to be Olive Uniacke - the stepdaughter of Harry Potter producer David Heyman. Here is what he says:

“I became so reliant on [alcohol] to enjoy stuff. 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. I’m actually enjoying the fact I can have a relationship with my girlfriend where I’m really pleasant and I’m not fucking up totally all the time.

As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn’t work for me. I do that very unsuccessfully. I’d just rather sit at home and read, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh. There’s no shame in enjoying the quiet life. And that’s been the realization of the past few years for me.”

It’s good to see that he has realized that he doesn’t need alcohol to enjoy life, now wouldn’t it be marvelous if Lindsay Lohan also came to this conclusion? Speaking off Harry Potter, MovieFone have got their hands on some new unseen footage from the upcoming final installment of the franchise. Here you go:

Thoughts? I’m not the biggest Harry Potter fan but I’m really excited for this movie.
