Daniel Radcliffe revealed he’s ‘so happy’ for his Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint, who just had his first child, though he still thinks it’s ‘super weird’ they’re even old enough to have kids.
Radcliffe, 30, appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, alongside Ellie Kemper, both from their respective homes, when host Andy Cohen asked if he had spoken to Grint, 31, since his child was born.
‘Yes, I texted him the other day and said I was so happy for him and it’s very very cool,’ Radcliffe said.

‘It’s also like super weird, for me, to think that we are all at the age where we are all having children, but we definitely are,’ Radcliffe added, as Cohen admitted, ‘It’s weird for all of us.’
He added that him, along with Grint and his other primary Harry Potter co-star, Emma Watson, are all, ‘terrible yardsticks for how old people are.’
‘I remember when I turned 30 I remember a lot of people in my life were really depressed to find out that they’re lapped,’ Radcliffe added, which brought a laugh from Kemper.

Radcliffe also opened up about wearing a disguise in public so no one would recognize him, admitting to dressing up as Spider-Man at Comic-Con once.
He acknowledged that the current situation with ‘a lot of masks’ means he has ‘a lot of face covering time’ but before, he liked getting behind a mask on Halloween.
Cohen also asked Radcliffe if he’s ever waxed his balls, as if that was a normal thing people ask each other, and he said no because, ‘that’s where I drew the line.’

He added that he only waxed one time – getting his a** cheeks done – and the balls are where he ‘drew the line.’
‘I couldn’t imagine that kind of pain,’ Radcliffe added, stating, ‘I don’t know how people do that.’

Kemper, who kissed Radcliffe’s Prince Frederick in the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt special, Kimmy vs. The Reverend, was also asked about her Home Alone reboot, which had started filming before being shut down by the COVID-19 outbreak.
‘I hope that everything keeps going smoothly. We were in the middle of shooting it in Montreal when everything got shut down, so I hope when everything is safe and appropriate to go back to work, we can,’ Kemper said, though she refused to discuss any plot details.
They also both spoke about what they want to do when quarantine ends, with Kemper saying, ‘I just want to to hug the people I love and haven’t seen,’ joking that it was the ‘sweetest answer anyone could have ever given.’

Radcliffe said he wanted to ‘go outside without stressing about it,’ adding that he was going to be ‘very hard not to shake people’s hands.’
‘I am a compulsive hand-shaker and I feel very rude not doing it, but I guess we’re not going to be doing it for awhile, so I’m just going to feel like I’m being horrible.’
On the after-show, Radcliffe revealed that he auditioned for a film called Equilibrium, ‘which is a Christian Bale action movie,’ adding he ‘did not get that and, because I didn’t get that, I was able to get Potter, which I was auditioning for at the same time, so that worked out.’
