Daniel Radcliffe says he was “terrified” of Alan Rickman while making the first few Harry Potter movies, believing that the late actor hated him.
“I was so intimidated by Alan Rickman,” Radcliffe said on an episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast released Thursday. “How could you not be by that voice. Even just hearing that voice, you forget quite how low that voice was until it echoes through you.”
Radcliffe added that he was “so intimidated” by Rickman—who played Professor Severus Snape in the Potter franchise—“for the first three movies.” “I was just terrified of him and I was like: ‘This guy hates me,’” Radcliffe added.
