Actor Daniel Radcliffe, who is famous for the "Harry Potter" series, expressed his affection for his son.
Daniel Radcliffe told Vulture that he recently quit smoking because of his son with his lover Erin Dark.
"I've been a 'heavy smoker' for 20 years, and I've never even thought about hanging up. However, not long after giving birth to my son, anxious thoughts about my death popped up and I thought I should quit smoking," he said.
Earlier, Daniel Radcliffe told the Wall Street Journal that he was focusing on exercising after quitting smoking, adding, "I do weight training, circuit training, and aerobic exercise. "I'm very passionate about sports," he said. "I'm a typical figure of people who had an addiction tendency in the past and then turned that addiction into exercise."
He then said that his son did not know that he was the main character of the Harry Potter series, adding, "Someone recently gave me a DVD to sign, and I was sitting on the kitchen table for a few days. Then at some point, my son watched the DVD and pointed to the cover and asked, 'Who is that?' but he didn't recognize me."
He said, "I really liked it. I want my son to remember me in no other way, but just as a father. We will stay that way (unknowingly) as much as we can," he stressed.
