Daniel Radcliffe in red shirt… walls of bodies of adoring fans blocked our way … other cast members slipped away with relatively little attention as they came out and disappeared into neon lit Broadway night – They had that cool look of authentic starving artists. All the while huge crowd continued to gather and formed a mushroom mass around the star’s chauffeured and high security limo… fame (star of a franchise in which all eight films make the list for the top 50 grossing films of all time) and fortune (reported net worth of $110MM…) in hands at ripe old age of 25.
Effects and benefits of yoga would be so invaluable for an apparent workaholic – here’s an excerpt from The Guardian interview by Tim Jonze:
Then again, Radcliffe seems to run on stress. It’s midday when we meet and he’s already been packing things into his morning. Early on he had to see his doctor about the intense-sounding cluster headaches he gets: “You have to be on blood pressure medication and have an ECG every so often … but don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine!” Following that he was at the US embassy for an interview, only to be told that he looked tired and not getting enough sleep – “I was like, er, thanks random fucking person who works at the embassy.”
Blood pressure medication & regular ECG checkups at age 25? Is that normal? PLEeeeeaase GET YOGA before it’s too late! How is that fine? Take a class on wellness from Shailene Woodley, the Californian. If you must be in New York and can’t get to the studio because… well, again, everywhere you go, you attract too much attention, get a yogi trainer, say someone like Jeffrey Villanueva at Jivamukti studio New York to do daily yoga with you – No, I am not getting commission from them – LOL – realizing it’s none of my business but … a bit concerned with no judgement. Guess I’m also like that random embassy person – but if I may say so, that “random f—ing” person at the embassy is quite wise and meant well … when fame and fortune comes so early, it must be difficult in a way not fathomable to us who had a “normal”(whatever that means…) childhood. Running on stress at age 25 is do-able – and may seem cool – like you are accomplishing so much and powering through with force – been there, done that – but… not sustainable over time – think 30’s; 40’s; 50’s and beyond when you can’t live on adrenaline and … other unhealthy dependencies. What you do today makes a difference because habits are hard to break once formed. Listen to your body and mind. Heed them.
Some random yogini who works at yoga talking here. Whether you like it or not, turns out, you are a role model for many kids, teens & young adults who grew up with Harry Potter movies. You are still their idol … hope healthy lifestyle choices are made in the 20’s so one is not haunted by the unhealthy ones later on.
Not to sound like I’m lecturing??? No Judgement
Lastly, two words for a fix: Restorative Yoga. We have a technique to get rid of headaches naturally:) Then you can do some Hatha… Ashtanga or Iyangar…
Speaking of Iyengar … sad news today.
