Daniel Radcliffe Reveals Bizarre Eyebrow Advice That Shaped His Career

Some of the maddeningly specific career advice, which should have really been the motto of Daniel Radcliffe’s career, has come pouring out of his mouth. He shared the clip: some guy telling him with all seriousness, “Never do anything to your eyebrows. They are the key. They are the key to your success,” and walked away as if, “So profound.” The caption was #memories#acting, but the entire internet had a lot to say about this eyebrow tip.

First of all, random much? Out of all the standard pieces of advice given in Hollywood to get contacts, take acting classes, and find the right agent, this was another one of those random bizarre weirdo types who gave Daniel the go-to eyebrow gospel and just bounced. But the video cuts off before showing us whose ridiculous advice that was. Fans and the rest of us are left into wild speculation-was it a director? A co-star? Some sort of unhinged backstage person who pops out to deliver cryptic grooming tips? The world may never know.

A certain person linked that comment with her eyebrow woes and joked, “Haha I have a small scar on one eyebrow and bleach them golden all the time to hide it… So you don’t want to shave them off like Jared Leto?” Okay, but Jared Leto choices for eyebrows really deserve an entire discourse. Maybe Daniel had really just avoided bad karma.

So then some other person went totally for the spelling of it as some great spiritual metaphor and proceeded on an entire essay about the bridge between faith and life. Listen, we do deep thoughts; this one was about eyebrows, my dude. I am not quite sure if Rebbe Nachman was thinking about tweezers when he was talking about overcoming fear.

Requests for Daniel to cameo in the new Harry Potter reboot appeared, just, of course! ‘Bro give cameo in New Harry Potter Movies pls,’ pleaded one comment, followed by about 50 heart emojis. Look, we get it. That feeling of nostalgia is strong enough to choke. But Daniel had moved on to weirder, cooler things, and honestly? Good for him.

Then there was the Jenna Ortega reference-half of Hollywood, inklike’s-and that’s right. The over-plucked, ultra-geometric brow trend is still holding on for dear life in some sparse corners of celeb-land. Maybe they missed the memo about eyebrows being the ‘key to success.’

The last question that has to be asked is: does that advice really hold up? Because Daniel Radcliffe’s eyebrows are quite something-A bit expressive, not uber-manicured, natural but definitely not bushy-wild. Now maybe there is something in it. Or maybe just one weird Hollywood superstition- like don’t say ‘Macbeth’ in a theater. Whatever it is, we put this one under ‘Things We Didn’t Know We Needed to Hear Today.’

So, just to recap: Guard them eyebrows til death, do not try to mimic Mr. Leto, and if you’re wondering, a little bit of Daniel Radcliffe will rub off on you, or at least your eyebrows will look mighty nice whilst trying.
