Daniel Radcliffe talks about his drinking

Actor Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter films, has admitted his drinking was so bad that he "blacked out" every time he drank alcohol.

He stopped drinking in 2010 and told Shortlist magazine: "The drinking was unhealthy and damaging to my body and my social life. That’s beyond question. 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. 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."
