Daniel Radcliffe Says Fatherhood Led Him to Quit Smoking After 20 Years

Fatherhood drove the change, with help from a stop-smoking book.

Overview

  • Radcliffe said in a recent Vulture interview that he quit after two decades of heavy smoking because thoughts about his mortality intensified once his son was born.
  • He credited Allen Carr's The Easy Way to Quit Smoking as the tool that finally worked for him and noted it may not help everyone.
  • After quitting, he shifted his energy to the gym and described a strict routine of weights, circuit training, and cardio.
  • The actor shares a son with partner Erin Darke and has not shared the child's name, and he hopes his son stays unaware of his Harry Potter fame for now.
  • People noted he is currently performing on Broadway in Every Brilliant Thing, offering a public counterpoint to the private changes he described.
