Daniel Radcliffe, yer a Tony Award winner!
Radcliffe, 34, won his first Tony Award on Sunday, June 16, for his role of Charlie in the revival of Merrily We Roll Along. While the trophy was mind-blowing to receive, Radcliffe found it less important than his family life with partner Erin Darke and their infant son.
“My love, Erin, you and my son are the best thing that ever happened to me,” the Harry Potter star gushed in his acceptance speech. “I love you so much.”
Radcliffe was nominated against Roger Bart (Back To The Future: The Musical), Joshua Boone (The Outsiders), Brandon Victor Dixon (Hell’s Kitchen), Sky Lakota-Lynch (The Outsiders) and Steven Skybell (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club). His fellow nominees all applauded Radcliffe’s win, but Jonathan Groff had, by far, the sweetest reaction.
Groff, 39, who costars with Radcliffe in Merrily alongside Lindsay Mendez, burst into tears when his pal took the David H. Koch stage and accepted the trophy.
