A lengthy new interview with Den of Geek has Dan Radcliffe promoting The Woman in Black but discussing a wide range of topics, including whether he should start his own production company.

From their interview:

Do you have any more plans for theatre?

Absolutely, that’s my next mission, to find a play to do in England. That’s what I want to do. I’ve been in New York for the last couple of shows, and they did talk about [the Broadway musical Radcliffe has been starring in] How To Succeed In Business coming to London, but I was tired and I’d done it for 11 months, which is longer than I’ve ever done a stage run before.

Do you think Potter would work on stage?

Erm… [makes a horrified face]. I’ve been asked. I know Darren Criss did the Very Potter musical, but I don’t think there should ever be an official version of it. I don’t think Jo would sanction that either, I’m pleased to say.

He also spoke about his self esteem and Googling himself:

How self-critical are you?

Very critical, I hate watching myself. But I know I have to watch it because I know I’m going to be asked about it, so I need to have some semblance of knowing what the film is like. It’s not an enjoyable experience watching yourself. I hate it less than I used to, but I still don’t enjoy it. I am critical but I try not to get to a point where… Being self-critical is good, begin self-hating is destructive. There’s a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.

Do you ever Google yourself?

I have. Do you know why I Google myself? I Google myself to find out what it says when you type in Daniel Radcliffe [on autosuggest]. That’s always very amusing. I believe at the moment it’s Daniel Radcliffe, Daniel Radcliffe Gay, Daniel Radcliffe Twitter, Daniel Radcliffe Alcoholic, which is kind of awesome.

What was great was when me and my girlfriend got photographed for the first time together within 48 hours when you typed in ROSA – her name’s Rosanne Coker – she was Google’s third search result between Rosacea and Rosa Parks. I find that quite amusing and also what I love about the gay thing is that really every single person I type into Google, anybody, if you are not being called gay, you don’t have a career.

Do you think an official Harry Potter musical could or should exist? We agree with Dan – it may not turn out so well. But we’re glad he referred to Darren Criss and StarKid!
