Daniel Radcliffe Wiki Biography

Daniel Radcliffe was born on 23 July 1989, in Fulham, London, England of Jewish-South African (mother) and Northern Irish Protestant (father) descent, and is an actor one might call a rising star – were it not for the fact he is already a global celebrity, as he certainly best known as the lead actor in the world-famous “Harry Potter” film franchise, the first of which hit the big screen in 2000.

So just how rich is Daniel Radcliffe? Over the course of his career to date, according to sources Daniel has accrued an estimated net worth of $110 million, in just 15 years and beginning at the tender age of 11 years.

Daniel Radcliffe was educated at  Sussex House School, and the City of London School – schooling made difficult by what was later diagnosed as a neurological disorder –  but grew up surrounded by arts and performance; both his parents were in related fields, his father Alan being a literary agent, but his mother, Marcia Jeannine Gresham, worked as a casting agent for the BBC, and it is likely that contact with his mother’s work may have served as inspiration for the young Daniel. Whatever the case, by the time of his acting debut in 1999, Daniel had already been interested in acting for five years. His first television appearance – as the lead actor in BBC’s television adaptation of “David Copperfield” – was outstanding enough to draw the interest of film director Chris Columbus, who was looking for the lead actor for his newest project, the 2001 fantasy film “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”. After a number of further auditions, and to the approval of the author of “Harry Potter” herself, J. K. Rowling – who was quoted saying that Columbus could not have found a better Harry for the film – Radcliffe was finally cast in the lead role.

Following the enormous commercial success of the first  “Harry Potter” film – which netted almost a billion dollars in ticket sales alone – Radcliffe, together with fellow leads Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, would go on to appear in seven more “Harry Potter” movies. All eight films were exceptionally well-received, both at the box office and by critics, with the last – the 2011 “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” – earning Radcliffe widespread acclaim. In addition, Daniel Radcliffe definitely made a fortune over his ten years with the franchise, having been paid a seven figure salary since the very first film – a huge boost to Radcliffe’s net worth.

Radcliffe has since successfully transitioned from being a child star to a critically acclaimed adult actor. Having recently widened his horizons to appear in several theatre productions, Daniel Radcliffe returned to film with the 2012 horror film “The Woman in Black” and was met with praise for this performance, and for his ability to move on his iconic earlier role – solidifying Radcliffe’s future in the film industry, and ensuring his net worth can only continue to grow.

Daniel Radcliffe has since appeared in the 2012 horror film “The Woman in Black” and the 2013 thriller “Kill Your Darlings”. Between his success as a big screen actor, and his recent and increasingly numerous appearances on the theatre stage, Radcliffe’s fame and net worth look set to continue growing.

In his personal life, Daniel Radcliffe currently lives in Manhattan, and has apparently been dating American Erin Darke, whom he met on the set of “Kill Your Darlings”.

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes

• I used to be self-conscious about my height, but then I thought, fuck that, I’m Harry Potter.
• I like action movies and I feel there used to be lots of really witty ones, like Die Hard (1988) and Lethal Weapon (1987) and the Bourne movies, but the good ones are few and far between now.
• [on shooting What If (2013) in Dublin, Ireland] Dublin looks awesome; it’s not hard to make Dublin look really pretty but it looks great in the movie.
• I don’t have Twitter and I don’t have Facebook and I think that makes things a lot easier, because if you go on Twitter and tell everybody what you’re doing moment to moment and then claim you want a private life, then no one is going to take that request seriously.
• [on rumors he was going to play Freddie Mercury in a biopic] There is no truth to it at all. It’s one of those very, very funny things: it came out of a story in the Daily Star and then you see newspapers like The Guardian using The Star as their source, and it grows and grows [until] it’s “Dan Radcliffe is playing Freddie Mercury!”, which I was never going to do. Everyone on the Internet who I presume is saying I’m totally wrong for that part is correct. I AM completely wrong for that part!
• [on whether he identifies as Jewish] Absolutely. I really do. My dad is Northern Irish and my mum is Jewish. That’s working blood. Though I am not religious in the least, I am very proud to be Jewish.
• I’m scared of any sort of expression looking like a Harry expression, and so I think that the journey for me in the last year is kind of about acceptance, of going, “This is my face and it was also the face that played Harry Potter.”.
• [on many parents’ objecting to The Woman in Black (2012)] I do take a small tincture of pride about it being the most complained-about film. I would have thought from the trailer that you could see what kind of a movie it was going to be. I said at the time, if your kid is under twelve I would advise them not to see this film. Apparently, there was a girl at the British premiere who fainted and when I heard that, I was like “We did something right.”.
• I don’t have an entourage in my personal life. I get driven here and I get driven home, but that’s it. I hate that kind of dropping-a-name-to-get-a-table stuff. Maybe it’s an English thing that there’s some sort of embarrassment saying, “Hello, I’m Daniel Radcliffe, does that make a difference to you?”.
• [on occasionally being drunk while impersonating Harry Potter] I can point to many scenes where I am just gone. Dead behind the eyes.
• [on receiving the script for The Woman in Black (2012)] It was a page-turner. What I liked about it was that it was a horror film, but it was unusual for a horror film to be so character-driven, to have such deep and affecting themes – themes of loss and what happens when we fail to move on from the loss.
• We like tearing down our own in England. If you look at what happened to Ken Branagh in the 1990s: all of the newspapers built him up, the new Olivier, and then destroyed him and his personal life. Not that I have been treated that badly, but I think a lot of people would like to write that story.
• When growing up, I thought of marriage as being very official, drawing up a contract. It seemed slightly clinical to me. But then you meet somebody that you really love and you think, “Actually, I wouldn’t mind standing up in front of my friends and family and telling them how much I love you and that I want to be with you forever.”.
• [on quitting drinking alcohol]: 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. 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 go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.
• I hate celebrity culture but I’m unavoidably part of it. These people are celebrities as a by-product of what they do. People read every little thing about Peter Andre and Katie Price and I couldn’t care less. They don’t want to work, have no interests, no passions, nothing and yet they seem to be held up on pedestals. I don’t think they should be trying to push themselves onto us. It does annoy me of course, but I’m part of it.
• (on being bullied in school) Some people did get very aggressive. People say it was just jealousy, but I don’t think it is jealousy. I think it’s just “We can have a crack at the kid who plays Harry Potter.” As Eddie Izzard says, these people always hang about in fives, because people these have a fifth of a personality each.
• I’m lucky enough to have a job that I love, and a relatively down-to-earth life.
• It’s not so much that they don’t want me to grow up. It’s that they’re annoyed that I’m growing up adjusted. They’d much rather I was growing up and going wild and crashing cars.
• What everybody would love to see is me having ditched school and then just going wild. That’s what I’m determined not to give them.
• [on the “Equus” paparazzi]: They were outside the theatre every single night, but we came up with a cunning ruse. I would wear the same outfit every time – a different T-shirt underneath, but I’d wear the same jacket and zip it up so they couldn’t see what I was wearing underneath, and the same hat. So they could take pictures for six months, but it would look like the same day, so they (photos) became unpublishable. Which was hilarious, because there’s nothing better than seeing paparazzi getting really frustrated.
• People will always remember Harry, but I think if I work hard enough other characters will stick in their minds as well.
• I feel okay about my body. Not totally, of course, no one my age does… but I’ve gone to the gym to make sure. And many of the actors I admire, like Gary Oldman, have gone naked.
• I didn’t look at the nudity and go, oh great. But it’s the same as doing a role with an accent or a particular affectation. You look at the character first. Lots of the actors that I’ve admired have at one stage or another taken their kit off. It’s a rite of passage. That iconic scene is the physical and emotional climax of the play. So if I do that with pants on, it would be crap.
• (on whether he is religious) I’m not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant… I’m very interested in religion as something to study, but I’m not a religious person in the slightest.
• [on saying that he’ll do all of the Harry Potter movies] Ultimately, it comes down to whether we’re still enjoying it. If we are then I think we would be sort of stupid not to do them. As long as I’m doing other stuff around the same time, I think it’ll be fine. Also, I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, there were bits in there where I was going, “God, I would love to do that because it’s so good.”.
• I don’t understand girls, but I’m slowly learning.
• Everyone on the set has a mobile phone, and I found by pushing a few buttons, they could be programmed into different languages. I fixed Robbie’s (Coltrane) to speak in Turkish.
• I played a trick on the make-up department where I put a fake blood capsule in my mouth, pretended to trip on the stairs and let the blood come out of my mouth. They really fell for it, then they chased after me with a water pistol.
• When I get into trouble at school I’d like to take an invisibility cloak, drape it over me and sneak out the door. Or I’d like to have a 3-headed-dog because then no one would argue with me.
• I’m thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.
• I think I’m highly normal. I’m attending school after acting, I’m going out with friends, going to the cinema – I’m just doing everything a normal teenager does. People think I can’t leave the house without being in a crowd of fans – but that’s not true. I’m able to do more things than people might think.
• Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it’s the minimum that I answer myself.
• It’s too far down the road to decide about a fifth movie. I’m still the same age Harry is, and I haven’t actually grown that much.
• When I go back to school everyone asks a lot of questions. Then, after about a week, when I’ve answered everything, we get back to normal.
• Stage is much more intimidating than going before the cameras, because you can really screw up, and can’t do a retake.
• Too many little numbers on one page! – about math.
• I’ve never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don’t get the people who are cool. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s just that they don’t interest me.
• [on the bats on the set] I like them, but it’s hard to concentrate when the bats fly about, and they pee while they fly.
• I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.
• On considering himself as a heartthrob: Personally, I can’t see it, but if other people can, fine. Cool!
• Upon seeing the movie: I’m a bit nervous about whether people will like it, but I’ve seen it, and I’m sure they will. It’s really good – it’s quite scary, it’s quite emotional. Even I cried and I don’t cry easily! I cried at the end credits when my name came up, and I was, like “Oh my God! I can’t believe that’s my name!” I’ve met so many people since we started filming and it’s been wonderful. I’ve progressed so far and changed so much since the beginning. It’s been like a real journey.
• I’m not clumsy, I’m just accident prone.
• I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, “Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?” and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life.
• [on believing in magic] Absolutely. 100 percent.
• But I don’t think it’s going to happen. I don’t think I’ll do all of them – I’ll probably get too spotty or too tall or I’ll shrink or something.
• I’m not much of a cake person.
• I don’t know. People tell me I look mournful. They say, “Cheer up, Dan, it’s not that bad!” Sometimes, I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I’m a happy person. Though I don’t, like, dot my “I’s” with hearts or anything – that would be too happy.
• After being cast as Harry Potter: I think I’m a tiny bit like Harry ‘cos I’d like to have an owl. Yeah, that’s the tiny bit, actually.

• Close friends with David Holmes who was his stunt double for the first six Harry Potter films.
• Dan to his friends.
• Casting an actor to play Harry Potter was a big challenge; they saw 5000 auditions and none of them felt right. Director Chris Columbus saw Radcliffe in David Copperfield (1999) and showed it to the film’s casting director and said Radcliffe was the one and that he was amazing. But she said they wouldn’t get him because his parents want him to focus on his schoolwork and not acting, as well as all the attention he’d get. So they interviewed Harry Potter’s of different nationalities all over the world and still hadn’t found him. She got frustrated with Columbus because he had his heart set on Radcliffe. By sheer coincidence, the producer and screenwriter of the Philosopher’s Stone went the theatre and in the front row was Radcliffe with his father, so they talked and slowly persuaded him to cast Radcliffe.
• Chris Columbus was amazed how beautifully Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint matured over the Harry Potter series, compared to some child actors who start out adorable and then either lose that or become bad actors as they grow older.
• Long-time friends with British writer-actor Stephen Fry.
• Revealed that he started to develop an alcohol problem during shooting Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009). He got sober in 2013.
• When Chris Columbus was asked what type of child he wanted to play Harry Potter, he used a clip of Daniel Radcliffe from David Copperfield (1999) to show them what he wanted.
• Received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on November 12, 2015.
• Daniel’s father is of Northern Irish Protestant descent, and was the son of Elsie May and Teddy Radcliffe. Daniel’s mother was born in South Africa, to a Jewish family (they moved from Lithuania, Germany and Poland, to South Africa and England). Daniel’s maternal grandparents were Wilfred Jacobson (born in South Africa) and Muriel Jean Patricia Gresham (who was born in Rochford, Essex, England; she was born under the surname “Gershon”, later Anglicized by her family to “Gresham”). While he is not religious, Daniel has described himself as Jewish.
• Has frequently been mistaken for Elijah Wood (and vice versa). Once in Japan, a huge fan handed Radcliffe a photo of Elijah Wood to sign. He wrote, “I am not Elijah Wood, love, Daniel Radcliffe”.
• Was in a relationship with Rosie Coker from 2010 until November 2012.
• Ranked #5 on the VH1 list of 100 Greatest Kid Stars (2012).
• Godfather of Misha Handley, who played his son in The Woman in Black (2012).
• Became the youngest non-royal to have an individual portrait displayed in London’s prestigious National Portrait Gallery. Radcliffe was only 14-years-old, when he posed for artist Stuart Pearson Wright during a break from filming Harry Potter.
• When he was first cast as Harry Potter, the filmmakers tried using contact lenses to make his eyes appear green; as they are described in the books; rather than their natural blue. Daniel suffered a painful allergic reaction when he tried them on, so the idea was scrapped. The filmmakers then considered digitally altering his eyes in post-production, but knew this would be a tedious process. The filmmakers then approached J.K. Rowling with their problem, and she thankfully told them that it was not essential for Harry to have green eyes, merely that he have his mother’s eyes, much to the relief of all involved.
• He plays the son of Adrian Rawlins in the Harry Potter films. The Woman in Black (2012) is a remake of an earlier film (The Woman in Black (1989)), in which Radcliffe takes over the role originally played by Rawlins.

• Is a huge fan of mathematician/singer/songwriter Tom Lehrer and can recite his famous “The Elements” song.
• The Trevor Project announced that Daniel Radcliffe had made a “major” donation to them and joined their “Circle of Hope”, a group of their high-donating supporters. The Trevor Project operates a national (US) crisis and suicide prevention helpline for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth (who are four times more likely to attempt suicide than heterosexual children and teens). The Trevor Project was inspired by the short film Trevor (1994), about a gay boy who attempts suicide; the organization was started by the film’s creators in 1998. [August 2009]
• The Guardian (UK) reported that Radcliffe has published some poetry under the pen name Jacob Gershon. Jacob is his middle name, and Gershon is the original Yiddish name from which his mother’s maiden name, Gresham, was derived.
• In 2008, Dan and the cast of Equus raised $203,746 for the charity, BroadwayCares/EquityFightsAids 20th Gypsy of the Year competition, setting a record for the most ever raised by a Broadway play. They not only beat the amount raised by other Broadway musicals but also came runner up for the best presentation, again beating out every other musical with their own song and dance.
