Daniel Radcliffe recently revealed his deep-seated fear of Alan Rickman's portrayal of Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series. Speaking on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, Radcliffe confessed to feeling "deathly afraid" of Rickman's character, particularly in the earlier films.
Radcliffe admitted to being intimidated by Rickman, attributing much of it to the actor's commanding voice, which had a profound impact on him. He recounted feeling terrified and convinced that Rickman harbored animosity towards him during the initial stages of filming.
However, Radcliffe's perspective on Rickman shifted after watching an interview in which the late actor expressed immense pride in Radcliffe's success, particularly on Broadway during his portrayal in "Equus." Rickman's acknowledgment of the pressures faced by young actors like Radcliffe resonated deeply with him.
Despite his initial apprehension, Radcliffe revealed a touching aspect of his relationship with Rickman. The seasoned actor made it a point to support Radcliffe's stage endeavors, even cutting short a vacation to witness his performances. Radcliffe fondly recalled post-show discussions with Rickman, underscoring the genuine bond that developed between them beyond the realm of their on-screen characters.
