Daniel Radcliffe Prefers Animated Shows Over 'Breaking Bad And The Sopranos'

While their full-time jobs involve appearing on the big or small screen, our favourite stars also enjoy watching TV shows and films in their free time. Like everyone else, celebrities love catching up on popular drama series and films that everyone is talking about. Although shows like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos are highly popular, actor Daniel Radcliffe is not a fan of these dramas. The Harry Potter star recently revealed the set of shows he enjoys watching, which includes the adult animation series The Simpsons.

In a conversation with CBR, Radcliffe shared that he often watches cartoons and reality TV, further revealing that he never got to watch Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and other similar programs.

“Honestly, I watch cartoons, and I watch reality TV. I’ve never seen Breaking Bad. I’ve never watched The Sopranos or The Wire. All the sort of heavy, hour-long stuff. Just, I can’t. I think it probably stems in part from growing up on The Simpsons in the way that I think so many people are our generation’s kids,” the actor said.

Radcliffe also explained how the show has given him a lot of trivia knowledge. “There are so many weird facts, and things from my general knowledge of the world to my sense of humor were formed in some way by The Simpsons,” he added. The actor feels that animated projects can depict things that wouldn’t work in live-action, and this is why he enjoys them more. He said, “It makes sense that our generation of people that have grown up on The Simpsons would want to continue watching more adult-themed cartoons when they get older.”

Quite a fan of animation, Daniel Radcliffe has himself worked as a voice cast for three episodes of The Simpsons, along with other projects like Robot Chicken, BoJack Horseman, Rick and Morty, Digman! and Mulligan.

Known for headlining the eight Harry Potter movies, Radcliffe is currently in the headlines over talks about his possible cameo in the Harry Potter television series, based on the celebrated franchise. While makers are already working on the show, it is yet to be known if the OG actors will have any role in it.
