Daniel Radcliffe: Takes Inspiration from Frankenstein Co-Star James McAvoy, Always Grateful of Harry Potter

Daniel Radcliffe is one busy man, now without the glasses and the lightning scar; the 25-year-old currently stars as Wallace in the romantic-comedy What If co-starring Zoe Kazan as Chantry. It's about Wallace, a med school drop-out and cynically romantic chesseball who falls in love with the funny and smart animator Chantry who happens to already have a long-time boyfriend.

The film is Radcliffe's first take on the romantic-comedy genre after taking dark and edgy projects in films such as, the 2007 London stage revival of Equus, The Woman in Black, and Kill Your Darlings since the Harry Potter series wrapped up in 2011. And other interesting stage roles in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (2011), The Cripple of Inishmaan (2013-2014) and as a young doctor in the mini series A Young Doctor's Notebook.

He shares that doing What If has been an enjoyable experience for him, and goes further as saying that Wallace is the closest character to his real self. The great chemistry he shares with Zoe Kazan reflects their real-life friendship for having a lot in common and a flair for good sense of humor.

The actor, known to many fans and the public as the boy wizard Harry Potter for 11 years successfully branched out of the Potter franchise as a mature actor; and keeps suprising people with his diverse and captivating roles, both on screen and on stage. He recognizes his Frankenstein co-star James McAvoy as his big-screen inspiration, keeping his attention to James' career path starting when he was a teen.

Radcliffe, practically growing up in the public's eyes thinks that he will never be able to separate himself from Harry and he doesn't want to. At the same time, he notes that he will always be grateful for everything that Harry has given him.

The What If star will next be seen in Horns as Ig Perrish in his most twisted role yet, based on Joe Hill's novel of the same name for a release this October 31.
