Daniel Radcliffe Reflects on Becoming Harry Potter

>> Daniel, how are you doing? >> I'm very well. How are you? >> I I'm very well. I'm I'm thrilled to have you on the show and

they are thrilled to be LOOKING AT YOU. >> THIS MUST BE EVERYWHERE YOU GO. PEOPLE MUST because they've they've watched you grow up and people feel like they know you, right? >> I know, it's weird.

Actually, just seeing that clip then was quite strange cuz my voice was still, you know. >> Yes, you were 11. >> Yes, I know. But it was say that I prefer it now.

>> Definitely. >> And did they have to Did they count on just you going you being the guy or did they think they were going to recast every movie? >> Um I think that, you know, at the beginning they

were they were always you know, everyone was taking it one film at a time in case I suddenly had some, you know, massive growth spurt, which as you can all tell didn't happen. >> And then um and but, you know, it's just worked

out this way that we we had none of them. Yeah, they were saying stuff earlier on like, "Will he get too old to play the part?" And Harry grows up in each film, so that was we didn't ever think that would be too much of an >> Yeah.

Well, it's a good thing that you didn't have a huge growth spurt because it's made you very, very successful. >> Yes, absolutely. >> be very grateful for exactly who you >> I'm very grateful for my mother being 5 ft tall.

>> You're very So, are you going to have a little tiny bit of coin of this? Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, this is the fifth film has made worldwide basically a billion dollars, 911 million dollars, a billion.

>> JUST UNDER A BILLION. >> IT'S THAT'S INCREDIBLE. >> ALL FIVE All five together have totaled 4.5 >> Well, which one didn't do so well? >> Yeah, I Yeah.

Exactly, something's wrong. Um And I mean, all of this. So, this is this has been very, very good for you, this entire thing. >> I mean, that I mean, the but the advantage of

that is that, you know, you you don't have to I mean, I think if I was somebody who was totally motivated by money then I'd just probably stop working. I'm not you know I want to I want to keep working.

That's you know the advantage of of being in this fortunate position that Harry Potter's given me is that I can I can go off and you know do a film like December Boys and you know not have to worry about money or anything like that.

>> Yeah, well that's great and you want to you want to do so you want to stay hungry and you're young and you want to keep being driven and by something by hopefully you're passionate about your your art. So now how how is this?

You're you're 18 >> and you're crazy rich and you're adorable and you're single. How is that possible that you're single? >> Um I well I mean >> Just be honest. What's wrong with you?

It's I I don't know. It's weird. I think I think when people see actors on screen they they automatically think that they're going to be really cool in real life just because they're an actor and

and and stuff like that and we you know the majority of us are not. I think that maybe comes a great disappointment to many people. >> No you you seem like and what what's really great
