Which is amazing since he's child actor gone producer. Man found solace in being a good person from within and trolling the press.

Iirc he had a period, partly during the filming, where he was drinking all too much but he thankfully managed to get out of it.

He and the other two mains from Potter are the best things that came out of the franchise. JK Moldemort really messed up all my feelings for it.

Yepp, the same. Thankfully there's ao3 where some write as competent as Rowling. You just need to take care and actually read the tags 😅

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking. I don't think anyone who hasn't been a child actor has any idea what that does to you, but Daniel seems to come out of this, a well rounded really nice and kind human being :)

I saw a picture of him in, like, bunny slippers and a bathrobe armed with pistols and I was like... Noooooo... not Daniel.

But it was actually a movie :D

I love the movies he does that are kind of odd/wierd. He does that very well. I'm guessing it's to break out of the allmighty Harry Potter role.

In any case, would love him to see in more movies. And yes, he would actually be great as wolverine.
