In a conversation on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Daniel opened up about the joys and challenges of being a dad.
He discussed balancing work commitments with parenting duties, including the difficulty of preparing for his role in the musical Merrily We Roll Along while caring for his son. Daniel even shared humorous anecdotes about trying to practice songs from the musical while holding his baby, joking that singing while parenting can be quite the challenge.
Looking ahead, Daniel expressed concerns about his son eventually learning about his fame and celebrity status. He described it as “a really weird time” when his son becomes aware of his father’s prominence in the public eye. Daniel admitted to wanting to keep his fame a secret from his son for as long as possible, cherishing the current time when his son sees him simply as his dad.
When asked about whether he would introduce his son to the world of Harry Potter, Daniel expressed willingness to read the beloved series to him if his son showed interest. Despite his own fame stemming from the Harry Potter franchise, Daniel emphasized the importance of supporting his son’s interests and passions.
This isn’t the first time Daniel has spoken about fatherhood. He previously shared both the terrifying and awesome aspects of being a parent, highlighting the profound impact it has had on his life. As he continues to navigate the joys and challenges of fatherhood, Daniel remains committed to being there for his son while maintaining a balance between his personal and professional life.
