Daniel Radcliffe Quits Smoking for Son, Hides Harry Potter DVD

On March 24, Daniel Radcliffe has kicked his smoking habit since welcoming his first child,

a son he shares with girlfriend Aaron Dark. The actor made the change right after the baby

arrived, and he's currently starring in the Broadway show, Every Brilliant Thing. In a recent

chat, he explained how he used to power through his days on coffee and cigarettes. But now,

it's coffee alone, keeping him going. Radcliffe is thrilled that his young son doesn't yet

connect him to the Harry Potter movies. He wants to stay just plain old dad and his kids'

eyes for as long as he can. To test it out, he left the Harry Potter DVD on the kitchen table

and asked his son about the cover. No recognition at all, which made his day. As he balances new

fatherhood with stage lights and fresh starts, Radcliffe seems happier than ever in this next chapter.
