Daniel Radcliffe talks about changes he experienced after embracing fatherhood

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe shares how becoming a dad changed his life, from quitting smoking to a 5:30 AM wake-up call and his prized photo collection.

"I have a small child, so my body has trained to wake up at about 5:30. - Daniel Radcliffe"

Los Angeles, March 3

Actor Daniel Radcliffe is sharing how fatherhood brought changes in his life. The 'Harry Potter' star became a first-time dad in 2023 when he welcomed a son, whose name has not been made public, with his partner Erin Darke.

Daniel, 36, has revealed he's managed to quit smoking and embraced a new morning routine as his little boy is always up early, reports 'Female First UK'.

He told WSJ, "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'".

Daniel added that his morning must-haves include warm gloves to keep his hands toasty during "the walks to school" and silicon toppers for baby food pouches, adding, "These things are a parenting essential that I feel more people should know about".

As per 'Female First UK', the actor went on to share that he loves to take pictures of his son so his partner Erin has embarked on a mission to have them all printed out for him so he has physical copies of the snaps on his phone.

He explained, "The first year after our son was born, I was looking through my phone at all the pictures I have of him and I was like: 'Oh, man, it just makes me sad that these are all just on my phone'. And so for the last few Christmases and birthdays, Erin has been getting hundreds of photos of him developed. I've divided the photos into two piles, which are 'amazing photos' and 'life-changing photos'. That box of photos of him would be my prized possession".

Daniel went on to add that he hopes his son doesn't follow him into the acting industry because he really doesn't want him to become famous.

The part about printing photos really hits home. In India, we have so many physical albums from our childhood. There's something special about holding a photo, not just swiping on a screen. My parents' generation understood this well.

Respectfully, while it's nice to hear about his personal life, I find it a bit odd when international celebrities get so much coverage in our news for things like this. We have amazing Indian actors and their parenting journeys are just as interesting, if not more rooted in our culture.

The 'amazing photos' vs 'life-changing photos' pile is such a sweet and profound way to think about memories. Fatherhood seems to have given him a wonderful perspective. Wishing his family all the best.

Harry Potter wanting a normal life for his son is the most wholesome thing. In India, we also have many star kids, but the pressure is immense. It's wise to want to shield your child from that glare. Good for him.

The morning routine with the night-light changing color is such a clever parenting hack! Might try something similar with my niece. It's nice to see a global star dealing with the same daily puzzles as the rest of us. 😄
