Daniel Radcliffe calls Broadway experience ‘liberating’ after staying low key

Daniel Radcliffe recently shares his experience working on a Broadway production, Every Brilliant Thing.

The Harry Potter alum opens up feeling kind of freedom after keeping a low profile in public since he was 11 years old.

“There's something really liberating about just running around and being like, ‘Hey, I'm Dan. Nice to meet you,’” says the 36-year-old in a new interview with PEOPLE.

The Tony award-winning actor continues, “Most of the time, if I'm in a room full of 1,000 people, I am hat on, mask on, trying to lay low.”

However, after doing this Broadway show, Daniel admits that there’s “something really freeing and fun about just being able to run around and recruit people for the show”.

What the actor likes most about the Broadway is the audience participation which is now how people outside thinks.

“Everyone gets a say on just how much they want to do,” he tells the outlet.

But if some people decline, they are not forced to do it rather “the team will find someone else and move on immediately”.

Elsewhere in the interview, Daniel mentions that this participation makes people feel included.

“I am only in the business of making people feel good on stage… The point of this is not to make anyone feel awkward or embarrassed,” he adds.

Meanwhile, the show is written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe and directed by Jeremy Herrin and Macmillan.
