Daniel Radcliffe is making the best out of his life as a new father to his son with girlfriend Erin Darke while juggling his acting career and promoting the upcoming season of TBS' Miracle Workers.
Speaking with E! News, the English star, 33, opened up about the balance and developing more of a keen eye for upcoming roles if it means being away from his son.
"I'm sure I'm going to probably, for at least a few years, become a little more selective about how much I work just because I really enjoy spending time with him and I'd like to continue doing that," he said.
"But obviously, I love my job and I'm not going to stop doing that."
He gushed about the different milestones his little one was already checking off, saying: "He's smiling and that's all I need. Like, that's awesome. Some people have to wait a lot longer for that, so I'm really happy with that."

Similarly, he previously told ET about taking time off work: "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."

"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.
