Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe reveals he is a “fitness freak” now. The 36-year-old explained that he now channels his energy into exercising and working out religiously as opposed to consuming alcohol. A decade ago, Radcliffe came forward and shared his trauma with alcohol abuse and how he’s on a path to sobriety.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe on being a fitness freak

Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame confessed he’s now transformed into a “fitness freak.” In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the Guns Akimbo star revealed, “I don’t look like a person who would be a fitness freak, but I’m pretty intense about it. I feel like I’m a cliché of a former alcoholic or anyone who had any kind of addictive personality and then switched that addiction to being about the gym.”

He admitted that he used to be a chain smoker and an avid coffee drinker, but now he is only the latter. The 36-year-old actor expressed, “I used to run on coffee and cigarettes all day, and then I gave up smoking. Now I just run on coffee all day.”

The Kill Your Darlings star alluded to the fact that his newfound love for fitness has helped him become a more hands-on parent to his two-year-old son. In the same interview, Radcliffe gave a sneak peek into his daily routine with his partner Erin Darke and their baby.

The former child actor explained, “I have a small child, so my body has trained to wake up at about 5:30. My son has a night-light where you can program it to turn a different color at a certain time, so at 6:30 it will flick from blue to yellow and I will hear him scream, ‘It’s yellow, COME GET ME!’”

In other news, Radcliffe revealed he is excited to watch the new Harry Potter reboot. He joked on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, “I’m actually delighted that when my kid grows and is into Harry Potter, he can watch a version that is not me. I feel like watching it with your dad would be less cool. It would take you out of it.”
