Lots of stars have opened up about drug and alcohol problems recently, and Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe is the latest on the list. In an interview with Sky Arts set to air later this year, he admitted to using alcohol to cope with his fear of becoming a Hollywood has-been and the pressures of worldwide fame at a young age.
“I would have benefited from not drinking as it was not making me as happy as I wanted to. It is not a real pressure, but it is a pressure of living with the thought, ‘Oh, what is all these people are saying I am not going to have a career? What if they are all going to be right and will be laughing and I will be consigned to a bunch of ‘Where are they now?’ lists?’”
He’s been sober for four years now though and that hooey about not having a career? Ha! He’s been a smash on Broadway and has a cute-looking rom-com coming out in August.
