Dang :/ Did we know he died from cancer before this, or did I just totally forget?

[automaticpeople]

I knew he died from pancreatic cancer, but I didn’t know he had prostate cancer before that.

[saikaro_x]

no, this wasn't public knowledge. :(

[masterofmystery]

2 May
8.40am pick-up | Corridor with Dan Radcliffe. He’s so concentrated now. Serious and focused - but with a sense of fun. I still don’t think he’s really an actor but he will undoubtedly direct/produce. And he has such quiet, dignified support from his parents. Nothing is pushed.

^ this had me cackling

29 December
1pm Lunch w. Dan Radcliffe at Cafe Cluny. One minute he was 12 now he’s 19. When did that happen? And he’s sensitive, articulate & smart. And owns a three-bed apt in NY.

^ but this follow-up is actually really sweet lol. from reading these, I bet alan was a fab brunch and/or dinner party guest!

I love DanRad in comedic stuff, but I also really enjoy what I’ve read of his writing and want him to do more of that.

[jazzl3t]

lmao. awww.

I have no doubt DanRad probably knew this about himself though and undoubtedly Rickman was majorly supportive regardless.

[megalixer]

IIRC the first entry was written while they were filming POA so I'm sure even danrad is like… fair's fair lmao. alan was clearly supportive in the years after!

sorry but the line about Emma Watson's diction being "just this side of Albania" had me cackling ngl

[butterflyblot]

British insults are truly an art form lmao

[forestofthedead]

I'm glad it was his idea to have the diaries published. Can't wait to read them.

"Emma [Watson]’s diction is this side of Albania at times"
I'm not sure what 'this side of Albania' means exactly, but I thought her diction was weird at times.

[escalena]

I took "this" to mean England, and in England (this side of...) Albanian would sound foreign, logically, so it's kind of a way of saying "sounded like a language I don't understand" imo

[buries]

"it's leviOsa not levioSA" is how i picture mr rickman wrt emma lmao
