Daniel Radcliffe explains why he won't see 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'

There's a certain amount of pressure on Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway, but Radcliffe revealed why he hasn't and likely won't.

"It would not be a relaxing evening at the theater," Radcliffe told Seth Meyers on Late Night. "I feel like I would be being watched for my reaction."

"Maybe that is completely conceited and egotistical and people wouldn’t care," Radcliffe added about his paranoia, "but I do feel if I was just surrounded by Harry Potter fans, I'd feel like...it would be a little odd.”

He also assured Meyers that he isn't avoiding the play because it might "throw me into some sort of existential crisis" (it might, though).

Meyers suggested Radcliffe go see the show in disguise. Might we suggest a character?
