Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part II is one of the most eagerly-awaited film finales of our generation and now with it within weeks of hitting our screens, its biggest star, Daniel Radcliffe, has revealed that he has been in a long battle with alcohol.
The 22-year-old actor told GQ magazine he hasn’t had a drop of alcohol since August 2010 after realizing he had a problem and had become too dependent on the hooch.
He said: “I became so reliant on alcohol to enjoy stuff. There were a few years there when I was just so enamoured with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me.”
Radcliffe also revealed that his relationship suffered considerably in his “alcohol years” but said that life with his girlfriend has become much easier since becoming tee-total: “I’m actually enjoying the fact I can have a relationship with my girlfriend where I’m really pleasant and I’m not f*****g up totally all the time.”
The British star added, “As much as I would love to be a person who goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn’t work for me. There’s no shame in enjoying the quiet life. And that’s been the realization of the past few years for me’…
So good to hear, Mr Radcliffe… Alcohol, fast cars and a rock-and-roll lifestyle is not the way to spend your hard-earned cash, but at least you had a little taste of the high life, and even if Charlie Sheen calls it ‘winning’, I’d say that type of lifestyle is far more suited to the losers…
You made a wizard choice Daniel… Good on you!
