Daniel Radcliffe recently shared hilarious moment with his three-year-old son in a new interview

The Harry Potter star, who welcomed his son with longtime partner Eric Darke in April 2023, spoke to PEOPLE and revealed that he was watching the Winter when his toddler saw Daniel in a commercial for the Broadway play.

“I had walked out of the room, and suddenly the ad for the show came up, and he's never seen anything I've done or been aware of any of that stuff,” said the 36-year-old.

Interestingly, Daniel went on saying that his son “just goes, with the tone of voice that was like, 'I'm not crazy right?' He just goes, 'Dada?' Then he was like, 'Did he leave?' because he thought because I left the room that I had then suddenly appeared on the TV”.

The Everything Brilliant actor expressed disappointment for not able to describe his job to a three-year-old.

“As an actor. You know you can explain policeman and fireman and doctor and stuff like that. But when you get to acting, you're like, ‘Yeah, we tell stories, you know, like your books. We sort of act out your stories,’” explained Daniel.

The actor however opened up that his son has no idea what he does in real life.

“I'm going to keep him in the dark as long as possible,” added Daniel.
