Daniel Radcliffe was handled to an surprising second throughout an look on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast alongside his “Merrily We Roll Along” co-stars Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez. Podcast host Josh Horowitz performed a clip from his Alan Rickman interview in 2016, which Radcliffe had by no means seen earlier than. Rickman and Radcliffe have been co-stars for a decade within the “Harry Potter” movie sequence. In the eight-year-old footage, Rickman heaps reward upon Radcliffe.

“As much as I was doing it for seven weeks, they were doing it for 52 weeks,” Rickman mentioned concerning the youngster actors on the “Harry Potter” films. “This was their life from 12 to 22. And you would watch it from the sidelines at times and throw the odd lifeline in because there was so little time for that. It’s only in recent years that I’ve managed to sit down in a cafe with Daniel in New York. He was at a theater and I was at another. Huge pride to go to see him in the musical [‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’]. How dare he be dancing as well as the New York dancers. He worked at it.”

Radcliffe appeared visibly moved by the clip of Rickman, who died in 2016 at 69 years previous. Rickman starred within the “Harry Potter” films as Severus Snape. Radcliffe, after all, was Harry Potter.

“Thanks for showing that. I’ve never seen that before. Thank you,” Radcliffe instructed Horowitz.

“I was so intimidated by Alan Rickman. How can you not be by that voice?” the actor instructed the viewers. “Even hearing that voice you forget quite how low it was until it echoes through you. I was so intimidated by him for the first three movies. I was terrified by him and was like, ‘This guy hates me.’ Somewhere along the lines he saw that I really wanted to do this and work at it.”

Radcliffe remembered how Rickman turned certainly one of his largest supporters, even as soon as ending a private trip early so he might catch Radcliffe on Broadway.

“He cut short a vacation in Canada to come and see me in ‘Equus.’ He saw every piece of stage work I did when he was alive,” Radcliffe added. “He would take me out afterwards and we would talk about it. He was one of the first people to say like, ‘You should look at voice coaching and investigate all this stuff.’ I am so lucky. To hear him say that is really lovely. Thank you for showing me that.”
