Daniel Radcliffe Taking A Break From Work
British actor Daniel Radcliffe is taking a month-long break after battling exhaustion during his recent stint on stage.
The Harry Potter star recently finished a run in London's West End, appearing in The Cripple Of Inishmaan, and he has now decided to schedule in a well-earned break to recover before he takes on any more acting work.
Radcliffe has booked in three weeks of downtime next month (Oct13) and he plans to spend his break in New York City.
He tells Britain's Daily Star Sunday, "I do need a break - doing Cripple was amazing but the last month was slightly exhausting. I've got three weeks off in October and I'm going to bum around New York and see some shows. I need to get some proper downtime."
He only hopes he can stay away from reading scripts: "I do need time off, but the truth is I'm a workaholic." (X)
Daniel Radcliffe is reportedly being lined up to play Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic.
The Harry Potter star could be replacing Sacha Baron Cohen, who pulled out of the film earlier this year over creative differences.
A source told the Daily Star: ‘Despite his youth, Daniel impressed movie bosses with his portrayal of gay poet Allen Ginsburg in this year’s movie Kill Your Darlings.
‘Plus, he’s closer in height to Freddie than Sacha, who’s much taller. Daniel can really sing, too.’
Radcliffe is 5ft 5 while Baron Cohen stands at 6ft 3 tall.
Baron Cohen reportedly wanted the movie to be a grittier look at Mercury’s life while the band’s guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor wanted the biopic to appeal to a mass audience.
Peter Morgan, who wrote The Queen and Frost/Nixon, is attached to pen the script although no director has been hired as yet.
Les Miserables’ Tom Hooper has been tipped as a possible candidate for the role. (X)
Daniel Radcliffe Is Really Funny: "He's a Stand-Up Comic
Daniel Radcliffe is kinda perfect.
Not only is he cute, but he can also act, sing and dance.
Plus he's super nice—and super funny!
Just ask Juno Temple, one of his costars in Horns, an indie about a young man (Radcliffe) who wakes up one day with horns growing out of his head.
"There was one take where there was quite a complicated shot and we had to keep redoing it to get the shot right," the British actress told me the other day while promoting the DVD release Magic Magic on Aug. 6. "We had to open with me laughing and Daniel must have told me 20 to 25 jokes. It was insane.
"I didn't know somebody had that many jokes," she said. "It was genius. He's a stand-up comic."
Also very funny, the t-shirt Temple received as a gift from her favorite vintage store to celebrate her role as late porn star Linda Lovelace's best friend in the soon-to-be-released bio-flick Lovelace.
"It's bright and yellow and it says in blue writing, 'I made Linda Lovelace gag,'" Temple said. "It's pretty cool. I have it on my wall at home." (X)
Daniel Radcliffe 'really bad' at taking holidays
Daniel Radcliffe never goes on holiday.
The 23-year-old actor shot to fame aged 10 when he played boy wizard Harry Potter and has been acting ever since, which leaves him very little time to kick back and relax.
He told the Sun newspaper: "I am really bad at booking in nice breaks. I had four days off when I went away with a couple of friends to Cornwall a few months ago.
"I was trying to work out with someone the other day when the last time was that I stopped working for more than two weeks.
"It is beyond living memory. To be honest, I like it this way. I have always had very structured time since the age of ten."
Daniel has most recently been working on movie Kill Your Darlings and appearing in stage play The Cripple of Inishmaan and says he adores acting so much he isn't bothered about the millions he's made from it, but is driven to continue by a thirst to better himself.
He has previously said: "I love my job and I want to earn the right to do it every day.
"I don't know when the last time was I had a holiday. I am now actively trying to develop other interests." (X)

Daniel Radcliffe: I never understand men who are threatened by intelligent women
Daniel Radcliffe is rolling a pin-thin cigarette in whippet-slim fingers. We’ve been talking about his girlfriend Erin Darke, who at 28 is five years his senior, a formidably bright actress from New York, whom he met on the set of Kill Your Darlings. She’s not just “arm candy” by all accounts.
“I never understand men who are threatened by intelligent women,” he says. “Maybe it’s that Freudian thing: my mum is a really intelligent, smart woman — and feisty as hell — so that’s always my basis of comparison.” He slides his tongue along the paper. “So whenever I meet girls who don’t stand up for themselves, or don’t have a bit of chutzpah about them, it does nothing for me.” He sparks up and takes a pull. Then: “Jesus,” he says, electrified. “That’s the worst way I could’ve put it. Now it sounds like I fancy my MUM!”
There comes the frenzy of back-pedallling — “aargh!” — and the manic insistence, not for the first time, that a parent “is going to kill” him. This is his style — sincere, earnest, then panic attack, with the odd swear word thrown in. It’s the conversational equivalent of a voice breaking.
He surrounds himself with like-minded people. His best friend since 14 is a girl called Jessie, who he loves hanging out with. “She’s a physicist at Imperial College. She’s the smartest person I know. It’s funny, she’s uninterested in talking about her world and fascinated by mine, and I don’t care what I do, I want to talk about physics!”
Does Jessie get on with Erin? (She just came over to see his play but flew back to the US, where she works both in acting and casting.) He clams up. “I ... I don’t like talking about it,” he says. Apparently he “screwed up” with previous girlfriend Rosie Cocker “by being too open”. (X)
Daniel Radcliffe's 'Frankenstein' Release Date Announced
Daniel's next film "Frankenstein" is set to debut by October 17, 2014 which is obviously a while wait. According to Radcliffe, the film had the "far and away" script that came out of a "big studio" that fans would be delighted to see.
"Frankenstein" would be 20th Century Fox's modern take directed by BBC "Sherlock's" director, Paul McGuigan. The film had been adapted from Mary Shelley's renowned novel where Daniel Radcliffe stars as Igor, "The Hunchback."
Radcliffe's character has been described as "pathologically dirty and dressed in old clown's clothing." This is certainly a far cry from Daniel's other films where he had been impeccably dressed. Other films that fans of the former "Harry Potter" star should look forward to include "Horns." (X)
