LOS ANGELES – Daniel Radcliffe has said he is saddened by author J.K. Rowling’s stance on transgender rights, telling an interviewer he has not spoken to the Harry Potter creator in years.
“It makes me really sad, ultimately,” Radcliffe, 34, told American publication The Atlantic, in an interview published on April 30. In 2020, Radcliffe – a long-time supporter of the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth suicide-prevention hotline – responded to some of Rowling’s comments on the matter with a statement saying, “Transgender women are women.”
British media tried to portray Radcliffe and his Potter co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as “ungrateful brats”, he told the interviewer.
