Daniel Radcliffe doesn’t want his son to follow in his footsteps
Actor Daniel Radcliffe is not really in favour of his son stepping into his shoes. The actor has said that he would prefer his son not to go into acting, despite being a former child star himself. The 36-year-old star was just 11 years old when he auditioned to play ‘Harry Potter’, and went on to enjoy global success thanks to the movies, reports ‘Female First UK’. But he doesn’t want his two-year-old little boy, who he has with partner Erin Darke, to follow in his parents’ footsteps because he thinks it would be better for his self-worth. When asked if he’d like his son to be an actor too, Daniel said on The View, “I would rather he isn’t. Me and Erin are both actors, so he’ll see us being passionate and loving our jobs. I feel like a lot of actors, so much of how we feel about ourselves is tied into our work. I’d love for him to get a job where his sense of identity and self-worth is not as tied to that”. As per ‘Female First UK’, during his appearance on the talk show to promote his show ‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’, Daniel was left squirming with embarrassment when they showed one of his early auditions to play Harry Potter.

Jamie Lee Curtis has no time to waste on ‘toxic people’
Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis says she that her attitude towards relationships has evolved during the course of her career in showbiz and that she has no time to waste on toxic people. “I turned 60 and realised I was going to die sooner than later. And that understanding meant I have no effing time to waste. No time to waste on toxic people, on relationships that don’t serve me,” She told AARP. The actress, whose parents were Hollywood legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, has long been aware of the industry’s harsh treatment of older performers, reports femalefirst.co.uk. Jamie said: “I’ve been self-retiring since I was 30, saying, ‘I’ll get out of this,’ because the industry I’m in is a cruel, cruel industry, particularly with ageing. There’s a dismissal of people. I watched it very much with my parents. So I have just decided to embrace that.” The actress changed her approach after she turned 60 and started to embrace her new-found “freedom,” reports femalefirst.co.uk. She said: “Accepting my crepey skin and showing it anyway — that’s freedom. I understand what I look like. I look in the mirror. I get it. And there’s no need for me to alter it.” (IANS)
