He takes on a bolder view of romance and he tells all in an interview with TIME magazine. Daniel is the twenty-something Wallace in the film and he falls in love with a certain Chantry played by Zoe Kazan.

The film is very much likened to the chick flick, '500 Days of Summer'. Basically, his character lives with this uncertain relationship with Chantry.

When asked by TIME magazine, Radcliffe talks about his views on Tinder. Daniel starts saying that people are just basically having intercourse all the time. It's just that it's happening in a much quicker pace.

He adds that Tinder is the same with you going out and meeting people on a Friday night. However, when people are on Tinder, they don't get to talk to the other person face-to-face. But eventually, they would.

He adds that the end result is still the same and that it won't change the nature of both love and relationships in general. He also admitted that he has used Tinder by using someone else's phone however if he had it installed in his phone, he would use it but noted that he won't be addicted to it.

Another question given to Daniel was what he thought about romantic comedies. He points out that the two genres are great together but people miss out on the more important aspects of the film. He adds that the central characters should be what people are caring about.

He also talked about the men who influenced him regarding his idea of love. He mentioned Keats, Byron and Shelley.
