"&amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s often the biggest stars who are the most down-to-earth.&amp;quot; I have this conversation weekly with many of my industry friends, and I&amp;#x27;m always surprised by it. You&amp;#x27;d expect the opposite, of course, but I&amp;#x27;ve very rarely had that be the case. And last night at the first annual Ivy Innovator Award for Film, Daniel Radcliffe reaffirmed that statement and more so. This was my first time meeting the star of one of the most successful franchises in movie history, and he could not have been more genuine, charming, or hilarious. Daniel Radcliffe partnered up with IvyConnect to screen the film in Los Angeles last night. IvyConnect is the world&amp;#x27;s fastest-growing social incubator bringing together entrepreneurs, artists, and innovators. Cadillac sponsored the first-ever event. Radcliffe was in Los Angeles to introduce his latest film, What If, the story of medical school dropout Wallace (Radcliffe) who&amp;#x27;s been repeatedly burned by bad relationships. In the film, which has an all-star cast that includes Adam Driver, Zoe Kazan, and Mackenzie Davis, Wallace falls for his best friend (Kazan)&amp;amp;#8212;but she already has a boyfriend. Before you think this is just another romantic comedy, think again. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and already won Best Adapted Screenplay at the Canadian version of the Oscars. Mark my word, you&amp;#x27;re going to want to see this film, and you&amp;#x27;re going to love it. It might actually be my favorite Daniel Radcliffe role yet. Glamour: I have to start by saying that I&amp;#x27;ve always wanted to meet you because you&amp;#x27;re the only celebrity who has come close to having a similar last name as me: Radloff. Daniel Radcliffe: That&amp;#x27;s amazing! What&amp;#x27;s funny is that before I was famous, I pretended that English long-distance runner Paula Radcliffe was a distant relative of mine! Glamour: I think we should have a law firm together. Daniel Radcliffe: Radcliffe and Radloff. Yes! We&amp;#x27;d do well together. Lawyers or funeral directors! Glamour: I will partner in a law firm with you anytime. Funeral directors, I don&amp;#x27;t know about. Daniel: Yeah, I hope not on that one either. But we&amp;amp;#8217;d be successful! Glamour: I&amp;#x27;m totally down. Let me know if acting doesn&amp;#x27;t pan out, and we&amp;#x27;ll discuss. [Laughs] Glamour: Let&amp;#x27;s talk about What If. It&amp;#x27;s kind of an updated version of When Harry Met Sally in many ways. Have you ever been in a similar situation? Daniel: I haven&amp;amp;#8217;t really been in the situation that Wallace is in, but I definitely related to him instantly. We have a really similar sense of humor, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s also really the only time I&amp;amp;#8217;ve played a modern character alive now and not in possession of massive magical powers. I think this is the character that is most like myself. I&amp;amp;#8217;m not the same as him, but there were many similarities. Glamour: I know you have a girlfriend, but was dating ever a struggle? Given your level of fame, has it been difficult making friends or dating when you&amp;#x27;re not sure of someone&amp;#x27;s true intentions? Daniel: Not particularly. I think you get a quick sense of who&amp;amp;#8217;s real and who&amp;amp;#8217;s not. I also have been in this situation for a long time, so I hope I&amp;amp;#8217;ve built up instincts that can detect bullshit. I think people that are only interested in you for reflected glory or money, those people are generally not the subtlest people on the planet. It&amp;#x27;s easy to pick up on that. Glamour: Who&amp;amp;#8217;s been the most down-to-earth person you&amp;#x27;ve become friends with in Hollywood? Daniel: I&amp;amp;#8217;ve become friends with Dane DeHaan and Juno Temple, and Michael C. Hall is a great guy. Most of the people I&amp;amp;#8217;ve worked with are fantastic. The person I haven&amp;amp;#8217;t worked with, but he&amp;amp;#8217;s a megastar and super cool is Channing Tatum. He&amp;amp;#8217;s just a normal, cool guy, and it&amp;#x27;s such a relief when you meet people like that. Glamour: Love that. In fact, he can join our law firm too. [Laughs] What If opens in select theaters this Friday and nationwide on August 22. Are you surprised by Daniel&amp;#x27;s candidness?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
