Daniel Radcliffe is loving life as a dad, welcoming his first child with longtime girlfriend Erin Darke this April, and just shared some rare details about parenting.
The actor, 33, opened up to ET about life as a new father, revealing for the first time that he and Erin had, in fact, welcomed a baby boy!
He gushed: "It's great. It's crazy and intense, but he's wonderful and Erin is amazing – it's a real privilege also to have this time with him."
Daniel continued: "I was always going to take some time off, which not everyone is able to do, and so I'm able to kind of just be here with him a lot, which is lovely. So, we're having a great time."
He also revealed whether having a child would play a role in determining what roles he would be taking in the future, and it seems like it definitely matters.

"I want my kids, if and when they exist…I would love them to be around film sets," he said. "A dream would be for them to come onto a film set and be like 'God, you know, I'd love to be in the art department. I'd love to be something in the crew.' Some part of this, but not from that.
