The Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who shot to fame at the age of 11, says he started drinking to deal with the pressure of being famous.
The 24-year-old admitted that he found himself struggling to deal with his celebrity status and the adoring fans, reports dailymail.co.uk.
On occasions, he would even turn up to filming still drunk from a boozy session the night before.
He said: ‘I would have benefited from not drinking as it was not making me as happy. It is not a real pressure but it is a pressure of living with the thought, 'Oh, what if all these people are saying I am not going to have a career?’ 'What if they are all going to be right and will laugh when I don’t land up anywhere?’ he said.
