Daniel Radcliffe has said that playing a “bad guy” in US film is a “rite of passage” for English actors.
In a new interview with Empire, Radcliffe admitted that he’d revelled in portraying a villain on screen. “There’s a rich tradition of English actors being the bad guys in American movies,” he said.
Radcliffe said that while he was “nervous” to play a villain, it was fun to play around “being this insane person”.
The Harry Potter star can currently be seen opposite Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock in The Lost City, where he plays an eccentric, evil billionaire.
