Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has had a rough ride with his health over the years, struggling with OCD, dyspraxia and alcohol abuse
November 02, 2022 - 15:35 GMT Melanie Macleod Daniel Radcliffe has been a constant on our screens since he first appeared in Harry Potter in 2001, and while he's always been the picture of professionalism, behind the scenes he's struggled with several health issues.The actor, who is currently promoting Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, has been tee-total since 2019 after he had a difficult relationship with alcohol.
Daniel, who is 33 now, said he turned to alcohol to cope with life in the public eye."In the last three years of drinking, I blacked out nearly every time. Blacking out was my thing," he told Shortlist.Daniel Radcliffe has dyspraxia "I was living in constant fear of who I'd meet, what I might have said to them, what I might have done with them, so I'd stay in my apartment for days and drink alone," he continued, speaking on how his drinking affected his life."I was a recluse at 20. It was pathetic – it wasn't me. I'm a fun, polite person and it turned me into a rude bore.
The 33-year-old has dyspraxia, a condition that affects physical coordination, though Daniel has a very mild form. His spokesperson said:"His condition is very mild and at worst manifests itself in an inability to tie his shoelaces and bad handwriting."MORE: Daniel Radcliffe reveals reaction to Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint becoming a dad
In a 2012 interview with the Sun U.K, he said his OCD compulsions were severe, explaining that when he was struggling with the condition, it would take him several minutes to turn off the light."I had to repeat every sentence I said under my breath. I would encourage everyone to undergo therapy. It doesn't mean you're insane or weak. I haven't had it this year so far and I'm missing it.
