Why Daniel Radcliffe Wants a Reputation for Doing Weird Movie Projects
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has recently explained why he wants a reputation for doing weird movie projects. Radcliffe is, of course, best known for playing the titular character in the hugely successful Harry Potter franchise. Beginning when Radcliffe was just 11 years old, the actor first took on the role of the boy-wizard back in 2001, and played him through until 2011. The Harry Potter franchise quickly became one of the biggest in the world, and as such, Radcliffe is remembered best by many as the Harry Potter who first took to the screen in The Sorcerer's Stone.
Interestingly, since the conclusion of the Harry Potter films, Radcliffe has become known as an actor who appears in off-beat indie films, despite having the clout to land big blockbuster roles for the rest of his career. Among his roles since Harry Potter, Radcliffe has played a man who mysteriously grows horns after his girlfriend's death in Horns, a sentient corpse in Swiss Army Man, and a man who wakes up to find he has guns bolted to his hands in Guns Akimbo. Currently, Radcliffe can be caught in theatres as the villain in thejungle adventure filmThe Lost City, and it has been announced that he will also be playing Weird Al Yankovic in an upcoming biopic about the comedian/musician.
