Daniel Radcliffe described how he fought alcoholism

26-year-old actor Daniel Radcliffe, known to many on the role of Harry Potter, recently confessed that he had been a hostage to a bad habit for a long time, but now she does not suffer from it. Reporter The Telegraph Daniel told how he could overcome alcoholism.

Gym is the main thing in the life of Radcliffe

About that the young actor and the day can not live without alcohol, it became known about 5 years ago, when the paparazzi repeatedly took pictures of him in a state of intoxication. It was then that the Internet began to appear messages from friends and colleagues about the grave mental state of Daniel. He was so "stuck" to Harry's little wizard that his fame did not allow the actor not only to live and work calmly, but also to live. When the shooting of the last film about the adventures of Potter Radcliffe took place, despite the prescribed conditions in the contract, he appeared drunk in front of the cameras. This was not liked by the producers of the film, which was repeatedly notified to him. After the end of filming Daniel plunged into a terrible depression, and began to turn into an alcoholic. But now he has not been drinking for 3 years, and how he managed to overcome his dependence, the actor told the following:

"When I was drinking, I became a completely different person. Good or bad I do not know, because I just do not remember. Every day, I was giving my family a lot of problems, because after drinking, I was not completely aware of what I was doing. Sometimes it came to that I could wake up in the morning in an unfamiliar apartment, etc. When I drank it was a time of chaos and confusion. I constantly received a lot of sms from relatives with questions: "Where are you?", "What's the matter?". At one point I was tired, and I decided to pull myself together. However, it was not easy. I had constant failures, and again I went into drinking-bouts. It was by accident that I went for a walk on the street and stayed there for about 5 hours. For this time I did not want to drink. And then I realized that you need to walk in the fresh air and play sports. From that moment, the gym is the main thing in my life. At first I was so exhausted that I could not even walk. Now everything is different, I am engaged every day, but rather moderately. Now I do not drink at all. "
