The actor said that there is a well-thought reason behind his decision and he considered getting on Twitter but dropped it eventually. Daniel said, “I would love to say there’s some incredibly thought out intellectual reason for this because I considered getting a Twitter at one point and I 100 per cent know that if I did you would all be waking up to stories of ''Dan Radcliffe gets into a fight with a random person on Twitter”. He went on to explain his unhealthy habit of looking up and reading comments about himself when he was younger.

Radcliffe said, “When I was younger – not anymore, thank God – I used to look up comments about myself on the Internet and would read s*** like that. That is an insane and bad thing to do. And to me Twitter and everything just sort of feels like an extension of that”. He further added, “Unless I was going to go on and just read nice things about myself which also feels like another kind of unhealthy thing to do. Other than that, I just don't honestly think I'm mentally strong enough but right now I'm kind of alright with that”.
