On the Air Force Radio 4, the actor stated that he had alcohol problems. And shared the reasons why it became dependent on alcohol:
I think this is a huge problem for many people who begin to do something when they are only 10 years old. They are engaged in this years and cease to enjoy. But they are the breadwinners of their families; Many people expect the actors to continue to do their jobs. And all this has crazy pressure. And young people decide that since they hate work, they can afford to spend earned money for pleasure by other things. This is how often it happens that people begin to drink or use drugs. Because it is fun and accessible. And it seems good idea, because no one is talking next to you the truth about the consequences.
According to Radcliffe, the peak of his drunkenness came at the time of work on the last film about Harry Potter "Deathly Gifts", as the future seemed indefinite and actor panicked. He tried twice to defeat the dependence, in 2010 and 2013. And the second attempt was successful, he completely stopped drinking alcohol. Radcliffe is very grateful to his family, without the support of which he could not return to the sober life.
