Daniel Radcliffe opens up some more about his past alcohol problems

Daniel Radcliffe is no angel and he acknowledges it fully. We learned in the summer of 2011 from British GQ, that Radcliffe had had to battle a reliance on alcohol. He stated that he felt he could not enjoy himself without alcohol and would drink profusely. In a recent article via hypable.com, Radcliffe reveals more of that time and admits to turning up on Harry Potter sets, especially Half-Blood Prince, still under the influence.

Radcliffe can easily point out where he looks “dead behind the eyes”. Here is what he had to say to Heatworld.com:

You’re only 22. Don’t most people in their early twenties drink too much?  Unfortunately it’s not that simple. I have a very addictive personality. It was a problem.

Really? There were never any stories of you going on wild benders… People with problems like that are very adept at hiding it. It was bad. I don’t want to go into details but I drank a lot and it was daily – I mean nightly. I can honestly say that I never drank at work on Harry Potter. I went into work still drunk, but I never drank at work. Get the whole story »
