The Guardian has reported on the Harry Potter star's change in fortune:Daniel Radcliffe has become a multi-millionaire. The Harry Potter star turned 18 on Monday, allowing him to access the reported £20m he has earned playing the boy wizard. Radcliffe says he has no plans to spend his cash on luxurious yachts and other extravagances.
"I don’t plan to be one of those people who, as soon as they turn 18, suddenly buy themselves a massive sports car collection or something similar," he told an Australian interviewer earlier this month. "I don’t think I’ll be particularly extravagant. The things I like buying are things that cost about £10 — books and CDs and DVDs."
So Daniel Radcliffe has crossed over into adulthood and a 'magical' fortune has fallen right into his lap. The fellow says he's going to be very careful about spending his fortune and seems sincere too. That's interesting, but I have my serious doubts. Because fame, like power, corrupts.
Coming down to his all-new look, it is a natural transition. The lean, mean, brawny look may appeal to all his female fans (and he may also become a gay icon), but his innocent, childlike looks of the past will always remain etched onto his hardcore fans' minds.
After Harry Potter, what next? He was recently seen in a play named Equus. He also claims there are other projects in the pipeline. I hope he does not go the Lindsay Lohan or the Britney Spears way. These two were successful early in their lives, and now both are enveloped by substance abuse and relationship problems.
The blog's a bit late and I'm no fan of his, but here's wishing the wonder boy a long and successful innings!
