“These are all my past lives”: Fans Feel Daniel Radcliffe Is A Time Traveler For A Strange Reason

Not just a world famous wizard, Daniel Radcliffe is also a time traveler now as fans keep finding his lookalikes through the past.

Daniel Radcliffe is easily one of the most famous people of all time. Having starred in the Harry Potter franchise, he has garnered huge popularity, to say the least, and now people from all over the world would easily recognize him. This popularity has in turn led to some of the funniest stories and fan encounters.

From some of the most outrageous fan fiction to weird fan encounters where he gets recognized as a homeless man with a poor dog, there are many such incidents waiting to grace his fan’s day and make them somewhat better. However, one story or rather an incident that comes up the most is photos of people from the past, especially older women, who look strikingly like the Harry Potter star, which has made many claims that he indeed is a time-traveler and not just a wizard.

Reason Why Daniel Radcliffe Is A Time-Traveller

As per the popular doppelganger theory, Daniel Radcliffe must have seven other people who look like him. However, on Reddit, one can find countless pictures of people from the past, especially stern old ladies, who look frighteningly like him.

And on The Graham Norton Show, it has almost become a game for there have been many times when Norton had a new picture to show the Harry Potter star. During his appearance, over six years or so ago, the actor was yet again shown some uncanny photos of him as women from the past, and he jokingly stated,

“I look like a lot of old women but very rarely men or boys… These are all my past lives and I look like a slightly depressed lady in all of them.”

Well, fans certainly seem to be enjoying the feat, for every now and then a photo of time-traveling Daniel Radcliffe pops up sending the internet into a frenzy.

Daniel Radcliffe Was Once Mistaken For A Homeless Man

In another episode of The Graham Norton Show, Daniel Radcliffe had another hilarious tale to share. Thanks to his Harry Potter fame, there is hardly anyone who would recognize him. While he has been misrecognized, there was one time when a passerby mistook him for a homeless man.

“I was on the streets with this dog… It was very cold, I’ve got my hoodie and my fleece and then a big coat over that, and the dog was very cold so I was like, ‘I’ll just kneel by you and like stroke you.’ I saw this guy look up at me and smile.”

Thinking that the guy probably recognized him from his ‘wizard’ days, Radcliffe just nodded back.

“He walked past me and he came back with a five dollar bill over my shoulder and just went ‘Get yourself a coffee, mate.’”

He hilariously added that one incident was a wake-up call for him to start shaving more.
