And you would watch it from the sidelines at times and throw the odd lifeline in because there was so little time for that. It’s only in recent years that I’ve managed to sit down in a cafe with Daniel in New York. He was at a theatre and I was at another.
Huge pride to go to see him in the musical [How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying]. How dare he be dancing as well as the New York dancers. He worked at it.”Radcliffe was visibly moved by the clip of Rickman, who died in 2016 aged 69.“Thanks for showing that.
I’ve never seen that before. Thank you,” Radcliffe began. “I was so intimidated by Alan Rickman.
How can you not be by that voice? Even hearing that voice you forget quite how low it was until it echoes through you. I was so intimidated by him for the first three movies. I was terrified by him and was like, ‘This guy hates me.’ Somewhere along the lines he saw that I really wanted to do this and work at it.”He went on to explain how much Rickman went on to support him in his career.
