I think Daniel's natural acting fit the character of the isolated lonely child that Harry was. His portrayal was fantastic. Perky and excited wouldn't have done. He was chosen well.
Oh yes! I am thrilled to see this comment! Unschooliing is gaining more and more attention worldwide and I think that is wonderful. Also. I think it's so cool that he said that his hyperactivity was a plus on set whereas a drawback at school. Isn't this just so great?
I’ve just watched the rest of the videos in this series and it’s been so fascinating! The rapport between you two is great. I really feel like I’ve gotten to see more of who Dan is as a person outside of his acting work. Fantastic questions as always - looking forward to more and hello from Minnesota 😄
At the time when he was in school, the education system wasn't the least aware of mental diversities in children. Like hyperactivity ,as Dan mentions, that was pretty annoying to the teachers and whatnot. Nowadays, we're not totally there, but there is a little improvement.
Suddenly, a bunch of Daniel's interviews pop up :)))) ------------------- Honest, humble, kind, nice, talent. Daniel i will support you in your actor work. Love you so much.
Dan is literally describing what it's like to have ADHD, he also said he had dyspraxia (poor motor skills) and had trouble with handwriting and stuff like tying his shoes
Unpopular opinion, but I think school is great lol. I love it and will probably go for another advanced degree at some point. However, it's important to recognize that not everyone learns in a very rigid or structured environment. It's cool that Dan was given an opportunity to discover and explore his passion for acting at such a young age.
Same, I liked it... xD I graduated with a lot of extra credits from high school taking all the classes I could and a night class, and then in uni when attendance wasn't forced I still went to every class. I liked the environment of learning and soaking in information.. But I agree, it's not for everyone and it's great that someone like Dan who didn't fit there found his way elsewhere!
Oh man I wish I enjoyed school, I simply couldn't focus and was uninterested in the work. Also sitting in the same spot for that long drove me crazy haha. I guess it depends on your brain and wether or not you're suited to that kind of learning structure, unfortunately it doesn't suit some like me.
Daniel Radcliff has Dyspraxia I do too and it affects how you plan and execute movements and think about things. He could not tie his own shoelaces for years and had to have velcro also terrible handwriting. So hard to do any lesson. We usually are very bright just cant get it down on paper or out your head.
Daniel Radcliff has Dyspraxia he struggled with school a lot he couldnt tie his laces for years and handwriting was bad. I have dyspraxia l,dyslexia and aspergers l/autism it's hard but makes you very creative in thinking.
Finally here and for my thoughts here, I would like to say that I kinda wish that I became an actor but then I don't regret not trying. If I was an actor, the benefits for me would be making friends faster, experiencing on the job workplace show-general life, learning faster, and learning the challenges of friendship/relationship and gaining basic education either with or without a script. As for the the sad benefits, well basically overall dealing with fame and hearing or seeing 24/7 media post and stranger fans following constantly 24/7 so yeah I guess benefits & disadvantages.
It seems in every workplace there are toxic personalities, even in the film industry. I’m glad he saw what he didn’t want to emulate that early on. Please don’t let the dementors suck such a charming personality out of you.
A guy like Daniel Radcliffe can easily get away with those statements. In my country, if you don't go to school, most people will treat you like a failure. I also don't like school but education is very important.
