Harry Potter movie star Daniel Radcliffe has said he disagrees with former Spider-Man Andrew Garfield, who recently praised his performance in the Wizarding World films.
On the upside, however, Radcliffe told the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he no longer feels “cringe” when watching his performance as a child actor — something he previously did while rewatching the movies as a teenager.
For context, Garfield recently revealed to Hits Radio that he had only just watched the Harry Potter movies for the first time, and noted that Radcliffe was “really good” in them. Garfield’s praise was then put to Radcliffe, who responded that the actor was “fantastic,” before saying: “I disagree with him about my performance in Potter, but that’s really nice.”
“I have more time now for me in the early films,” Radcliffe continued. “When I was 18 I would cringe watching the earlier films. Now I think the earlier films are sweet, and I cringe when watching myself when I was 18 or 19. And I assume those dates will keep changing as to what I find palatable about my own work.”
