Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter turns 26 on Thursday, can you believe it?
Yes, from the little boy to the handsome and dapper gentleman who gracefully shows up with that stubble — the transformation has been amazing.
It seems like just yesterday when this little boy was preparing to go to Hogwarts for the first time, but now he has transformed into a young actor with an impressive personality.
Who is Daniel Radcliffe?
He was an 11-year-old little boy who played the character of Harry Potter in the first Harry Potter film from the franchise, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
He soon became a sensation worldwide and starred in the series for 10 years until the release of the eighth and final film in 2011, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 and by that time Daniel became one of the prince charming for many women worldwide.
With the Harry Potter franchise years behind him, Daniel has also starred in The Woman in Black, Kill Your Darlings, and Horns.
Later this year, he will star as Igor in the upcoming Victor Frankenstein, alongside James McAvoy.
Unknown facts:
Radcliffe expressed an interest in acting when he was only five years old.
At 10 year- old the young actor, made his screen debut in the BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens’s “David Copperfield” (1999), playing the titular character as a young boy.
When he was just 14 years-old, his portrait was displayed in London’s prestigious National Portrait Gallery, and he is also the youngest non-royal to have a portrait in NPG.
Radcliffe’s parents were reluctant to let him audition because the contract required shooting all seven films in Los Angeles. They even turned down the offer!
Like his Harry Potter co-star Tom Felton, Daniel is a huge fan of cricket and his favourite cricket player is Sachin Tendulkar. He finally got his autograph at Lords 2007.
