Daniel Radcliffe almost turned down ‘Harry Potter’

Hotxpress November 23, 2011

Please, someone, lift our jaw from the floor. Thank goodness this did not happen!

Daniel Radcliffe almost turned down his career-making role in the Harry Potter franchise because he did not want to be away from home for so long. Initially his contract stated that six of the films would be shot in Los Angeles, which is why he was not very keen. But things eased up when filming began to take place in England. He said:

“Chris Columbus had seen David Copperfield and said, ‘I want to audition this boy’. They went to my parents, and, at the time, the deal was to sign on for, I think, six films, all to be done in LA, and my mom and dad simply said, ‘That’s too much disruption to his life. That’s not gonna happen.’

I didn’t know any of that had gone on. And then, maybe three, four months down the line, the deal had changed, and it was going be to shoot two films, and they’d both be done in England, and so they said, ‘OK, we’ll let him audition.’ And then it all went from there, really.”

Phew! We can’t imagine anyone else fighting He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named!

    Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Cheers
