Daniel Radcliffe cuddles son in rare appearance as they join actors' strike

Daniel Radcliffe is already teaching his son about the importance of strike action as he took the little one out on the picket line in New York.

Hollywood is currently at a standstill after Sag-Aftra confirmed the walkout last week, following unsuccessful talks between the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Televisions Producers (AMPTP).

The organization called for a strike for multiple reasons, including a lack of fair pay for actors to requiring assurance about the rise of AI.

Since then, a string of A-listers have been spotted making their voices heard, while the cast of Oppenheimer left last week’s premiere in support.

Daniel was among the famous faces on the picket line earlier today and he was joined by long-term partner Erin Darke, and their baby boy.

New pictures have emerged of the Harry Potter star clutching his son while wearing a child-carrier sling across his chest, as his partner carried a ‘Sag-Aftra on strike’ sign.


The dad-of-one kept the little one’s face covered as they marched on the streets together.

Daniel became a dad in April but has remained fiercely private about his family life, and has yet to share the name of their new arrival.

Lifting the lid on fatherhood in candid chat with Extra, he shared that becoming a dad had been the best thing to ever happen to him.

‘He’s very cute. We’ve moved into a less screaming phase and he’s now giving us little smiles and giggling,’ he said.


‘It’s been a crazy few months, as anyone who’s been through parenthood would attest.’

‘But it’s also the literal best thing that’s ever happened, so it’s great. I feel very lucky to be able to have this time with him. It’s awesome.’

Daniel first met Erin while working together on Kill Your Darlings, in 2012, and have been together ever since.

Discussing their family, the Lost City actor told Entertainment Tonight that he is planning to ‘work less’ over the next few years so that he can be around for the tot.

‘It hasn’t really yet affected things, but I really like spending time with him, and I think I’m going to miss him when I go back to work later in the year,’ he added.

‘So, I will definitely be I think a bit more selective, not more selective, I’ve always been selective, but I think I’ll probably work a little bit less for the next few years.’
