Happy birthday, Daniel Radcliffe! The hero of the saga Harry Potter celebrates its 33rd birthday this Saturday, July 23, 2022. If the actor has established himself as one of the biggest international stars, thanks to his emblematic role at the school of wizards, he has gone through extremely painful periods. In the show Off Camera, presented by journalist Sam Jones, the British comedian confided in his addiction to alcohol. “Since you have an awesome job, you’re rich, you have no right to be sad or unhappy about any of this. And I think that adds pressure”he lamented, before continuing : “The quickest way to forget that you were stared at all the time was to get really drunk. And when you’re drunk, you’re like, ‘Oh, people look at me even more but that’s because I’m very drunk, so maybe I should drink more to ignore them even more.’” And that’s not all…
Daniel Radcliffe has Horton syndrome
Besides his problems with alcohol, Daniel Radcliffe has a very rare condition called cluster headache, or Horton’s syndrome. The sidekick of Emma Watson and Rupert Grint recently delivered on this pathology – an inflammation of the arteries which is characterized in particular by headaches which are nicknamed the “suicide migraine” – in the columns of The Independent.
“At the time, I thought I was a wimp. I was taking up to 12 very strong painkillers a day. and it didn’t change anything, I didn’t understand and I was like, ‘Why do I still have a headache?’”, told Daniel Radcliffe to our colleagues. And to add: “It’s very rare, apparently, but extraordinarily painful.” Fortunately since then, the star of the big screen has been following an effective treatment against pain.
