'Potter' loved his drinks

DANIEL Radcliffe admitted he was drunk while filming some scenes for the "Harry Potter" movies during a period in his life where he was drinking "nightly," the young star said in an interview.

"I have a very addictive personality. It was a problem. People with problems like that are very adept at hiding it. It was bad. I don't want to go into details, but I drank a lot and it was daily - I mean nightly," Radcliffe said to British celebrity news magazine Heat earlier this week.

"I can honestly say I never drank at work on 'Harry Potter.' I went into work still drunk, but I never drank at work. I can point to many scenes where I'm just gone. Dead behind the eyes," the 22-year-old actor said.

The British star, who was propelled to fame at age 11 after being cast to play boy wizard Harry Potter in the movies based on JK Rowling's best-selling novels, is currently on the promotional rounds for his film, "The Woman in Black," in the United States.
