Will the arrival of his first child affect Daniel Radcliffe’s work life?
The Miracle Workers actor also acknowledged that parenthood will inevitably play a big role in his career moving forward. “It hasn’t really yet affected things, but I really like spending time with him,” added Daniel, “And I think I’m gonna miss him when I go back to work later in the year.” Futher he goes on to mention how being a father will affect the kinds of roles he takes on, saying that “So, I will definitely be I think a bit more selective—not more selective, I’ve always been selective—but I think I’ll probably work a little bit less for the next few years.”
