Probably the vast majority of actors act in films until they are very old. And some even longer. But there are also many who end their careers quite early. And now Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is retiring from his career! The 32-year-old actor told reporters that he will completely stop acting in films in the next two years. But why is this so?
In principle, the answer probably lies on the surface. The last part of Harry Potter was released back in 2011 , and Daniel still remains for many the boy who lived. Despite the fact that the actor has since played in a couple of dozen films, he has not been able to get rid of the image of a wizard.
The film adaptation of Bulgakov’s “Notes of a Young Doctor,” the extremely unusual “The Man is a Swiss Knife,” and even the completely insane “Akimbo Guns” failed to erase Daniel Harry. And it’s clear that in such conditions even the most strong-willed people can give up.
However, Radcliffe does not intend to leave the film industry completely. Now the man is focused on fulfilling his dream of directing his own film. And now Daniel is already busy writing the script. However, as the actor himself stated, he will still appear on screens in the next two years, because the contracts have already been signed.
“People often say: “Write what you know.” I have had a very unusual life, so I don’t want to write about it. But I found a way to write something related to the film industry ,” says Radcliffe. At the same time, the actor noted that he will not appear on screen in his own film. He is determined to draw the line.
At the moment, the latest film with Daniel Radcliffe is “The Lost City”, where Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock starred with him. In the story, the writer goes on a trip as part of a promotional tour for her new book, but everything, of course, does not go according to plan. Daniel, by the way, played the villain in it.
Overall, the news that Daniel Radcliffe is retiring is very sad. At 32 years old there is still a chance to play something significant. On the other hand, history knows many examples when talented actors became hostages of their own roles. Well, we hope that Radcliffe the director will also be able to please us.
