Mind Tap | Happy Birthday Daniel [Gorgeous] Radcliffe!

So many birthdays, so little time!

Another July birthday is upon us, but this one is my favorite! Today we celebrate the birth of our gorgeous darling Daniel Radcliffe! Wooh!

Daniel Radcliffe will always hold a special part in my heart. He was the first boy I ever had a crush on (still is, as a matter of fact). The first person whom I ever looked up to. He's always been a part of my life. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I know I can pop in a Daniel Radcliffe movie and smile like a teenage girl in love. I know he will always be a ray of sunshine in my life.

I am so incredible proud of what Daniel has accomplished not only over the whole of his career, but as a public figure. Although I don't known him on a personal level, I do believe Daniel is a good person. He's constant charitable endeavors and intellectual conversation has had a massive affect on my life; probably even more than I know. 

As for his career, his transition from child star into a mature actor has been the most flawless transition I've ever seen. He has taken on projects both challenging and enticing to show off how versatile an actor he is. Along with thrilling film choices, his work in the theater has further proven his ambition to be a respected actor; and has shown nothing less than his impeccable talent. He has truly grown into a mature, polished actor, and I could't be happier for him. I cannot wait to see where Daniel's career takes him the next few years.

To many, Daniel Radcliffe is just the figurehead of a massive franchise, a privileged child star. To me, he's far more than just the average actor. This may sound a little weird, but he has always been a constant in my life. I have grown up with him through Harry Potter. Through every stage of my life, I have looked up to Daniel Radcliffe as a role model. He has influenced my love for film making, taught me that knowledge is important, and not to take yourself to seriously. I aspire to live my life as an artist, strive to learn something new everyday, and view the world with an open mind thanks to Daniel.    

I wouldn't be half the person I am today without his influence in my life.  

  

Happy birthday to the most handsome, hilarious, talented, generous, and kindhearted person out there! To many more amazing years!
