Speaking of his 2011 interview, CBS reported that Daniel Radcliffe at the time shared that he started drinking too much while filming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which is the sixth movie in the Potter film franchise. Shedding light on the same, Daniel stated, “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.” The actor continued, “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.”

Daniel Radcliffe further shared, “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.”

At the time, the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone actor added that sobriety also helped him become a better boyfriend. “I’m actually enjoying the fact that I can have a relationship with my girlfriend (Olive Uniacke) where I’m really pleasant and not f**ked up totally all the time.”
