Daniel Radcliffe explains how Minecraft & Olivia Rodrigo made him realize he was old Instagram: oliviarodrigo\/YouTube: wired\/MojangDaniel Radcliffe was the face of Harry Potter and, to many people of a certain age, a symbol of their youth \u2014 but those days are gone now, and Radcliffe has explained how Minecraft and pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo made him realize it. At the age of 31, Radcliffe isn\u2019t exactly \u2018old,\u2019 but considering he was the face of one of the most popular fictional series\u2019 in history at the age of 11, it\u2019s hard for many to imagine him outside of the realms of Hogwarts and his adolescence. That said, he\u2019s now fast approaching the age Harry was at in the prologue of the final Harry Potter book, which fast-forwarded 17 years to when he was 35, a stat sure to throw lifelong Potter fans in a loop. Radcliffe has aged, and he\u2019s become painfully aware of it in recent years thanks to two relatively new phenomena: Minecraft and Olivia Rodrigo. During an interview with WIRED, where he answered questions suggested by Google auto-complete, a question about Minecraft came up and Radcliffe had to admit that the blocky sandbox game confused him. \u201cMinecraft and Olivia Rodrigo have been two of the \u2018Oh, I\u2019m old\u2019 moments of recently,\u201d he admitted. \u201cMinecraft obviously, a few years ago, I was playing with my godson, and I was saying all the old person things\u2026 It seems very cool, I just can\u2019t do it.\u201d He continued: \u201cAnd then, Olivia Rodrigo was at the White House and I was like \u2018Oh, you\u2019re famous enough to be at the White House, and this is the first time I\u2019m hearing about you!\u2019 But I completely accept that that is on me, not anyone else.\u201d Timestamp 10:49 Admitting that they have been \u201creal watershed moments\u201d for him, Radcliffe\u2019s insistence over the years to stay away from social media has clearly had a bit of an impact on his knowledge of new trends. Though he has claimed to be a gamer in the past, perhaps his tastes grew somewhere outside of the Minecraft realm over the years. As for Rodrigo, she\u2019s fast becoming one of the most popular pop stars on the planet, so he\u2019ll definitely be hearing more of her over the coming years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
