With considerable popularity, respect, and numerous awards to her credit, Sandra Bullock is one of the more successful performers in the business and has built up a sizable fan base over the years. In addition to being an actor, she is also a successful producer, was ranked among the highest-paid actress in the world, and was listed among the top 100 most important people in the world.
On the other hand, Daniel Radcliffe is without a doubt a genius at his job as he spent the majority of his life on movie sets. The Harry Potter movie franchise’s popularity was sufficient to elevate Radcliffe to the status of one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors. But all this early fame and recognition did not get him out of the stereotypical child star critique but he was successful in proving his co-star wrong.
Daniel Radcliffe Proves Sandra Bullock Wrong With His Acting
Throughout her long career; which has lasted more than three decades, Sandra Bullock has starred in several box office hits and made millions of dollars. She has also gained a great deal of notoriety, fortune, and popularity from her numerous blockbuster films and franchise roles. Bullock has an estimated net worth of $250 million, an amount that remains a dream for many celebrities out there.
Bullock has worked with quite several famous actors and actresses during her time in the industry and has her fair share of experience with them. So she can tell when an actor has real talent or if was it just the clout that carried the actor to stardom. The Speed actress had a similar thought before she starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe for their latest 2022 movie, The Lost City.
Sandra Bullock and Daniel Radcliffe teamed together to star in The Lost City, but unlike the Harry Potter actor, who was thrilled to star alongside a major Hollywood celebrity, Bullock wasn’t initially on board. The actress presumed Radcliffe would be no different from an entitled child actor as this was their first project together.
But after starring and working alongside the child prodigy, the Miss Congeniality actress had nothing but respect and admiration for the British actor. She claimed that “ he was not at all what I expected him to be. He was nothing even close to that”. Radcliffe also respects Bullock as he was hyped to work with her from the very beginning.
Daniel Radcliffe Was Assumed to be an “Absolute A**hole”
Daniel Radcliffe, who we have witnessed develop before our eyes via his Harry Potter role in the Harry Potter film series gained enormous notoriety and admiration from both the public and the entertainment community.
However, despite the enormous financial success the franchise generated and the millions he made from playing the show’s star, Daniel Radcliffe was always seen as a child star who just grew old. Well, this was until he proved himself on the big stage, again, multiple times after his Harry Potter days.
“When I did my first non-Potter film, December Boys, I became good friends with one of the makeup and hair teams. After a few weeks, I said, ‘So, honestly, what did you expect when you were going to get me?’
And they said, ‘We thought you were going to be a d***.’ Because that’s the notion people have in their heads of child stars. People expect me to be an absolute a**hole. And when I’m not, that always plays in my favor.”
During an interview with Playboy, the Guns Akimbo actor shared that there were many a time when he was often typecasted for his Harry Potter role and was thought to be a selfish prick. Well, that was obviously not true and many came to realize that when they worked with or for him. He also shared that this one time, when he became close friends with a makeup and hair team, they expected him to be an “absolute a**hole”, but they soon became good friends when he was nothing like they imagined him to be.
