Daniel Radcliffe Blames Harry Potter For Making Him Alcoholic

What could have made innocent-looking Daniel Radcliffe as a kid in Harry Potter turn into an alcoholic? Well, He has the fantasy film which was his debut to blame for the attitude change.

Radcliffe explained that living the life of a famous star who acted in the lead role in Harry Potter did not only come with loving interest from fans but also some sort of mockery especially when spotted has a drink at the pub. To the fans, being off-camera does not change in reality and struggled to be himself.

During an interview with Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 4, he explained that the best that he thought right to manage the attention he was receiving was to "drink off or get more drunk", yet that did not work in any way, only ended him up as an alcoholic.

"A lot of drinking that happened towards the end of Potter and for a little bit after it finished," he told Lauren. "It was panic, a little bit not knowing what to do next - not being comfortable enough."

Things have changed now and Radcliffe was able to find the needed help from his family and close friends who helped him to come off heavy drinking.
