Hayao Miyazaki returns from “retirement” with a contemplative and visually breathtaking narrative in The Boy and the Heron, known to international audiences as “How Do You Live?” and named after the main inspiration for the film, the book 1937 How Do You Live? by Genzaburo Yoshino.

Daniel Radcliffe has been Sober for 12 Years

Over the years, Radcliffe has been open about how he first sought sobriety when he felt lost in his life back in 2010. "I definitely think a lot of the drinking that happened towards the end of Potter, and for a little bit after it finished, it was panic and not knowing what to do next, and not being comfortable enough in who I was to remain sober."

Radcliffe went on to continue to have a vibrant career in acting, most notably he won a Tony Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his role as Charley Kringas in Merrily We Roll Along.

Speaking about his decision to go sober, he said it felt "weird" to give up alcohol at such a young age, but that he was "very, very happy" about it. "But I will always be fascinated and frustrated by the question of, 'is this something that would have happened anyway or was this to do with Potter?’”
