We solemnly swear Daniel Radcliffe has so many good plans.
In addition to returning to Broadway, the actor is enjoying the first few months of parenthood after giving birth to a son with a longtime love Erin Darke earlier this year.
“He’s amazing, it’s incredible,” Radcliffe told E! News on the opening night of Merrily We Roll Along in NYC on October 8th. “There’s a short answer and a long answer to that. And the short answer is: It’s great and he’s the best thing that ever happened.”
The long version? “It’s honestly frightening to have a person in the world that I care about so much,” Radcliffe continued, “and that everything he does will affect how I feel about my life for the rest of my life.” life think. So, you know, that’s intimidating.”

“There’s no connection to what we need to sleep,” he said of their schedule. “The less I sleep, the more I sleep at night. But the less they sleep, the less they sleep! And the more they sleep, the better they sleep! It doesn’t make sense, but apparently that’s how they work.”
