Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend Erin Darke brought their newborn baby along to the SAG-AFTRA picket line in Latest York City Friday to point out their support.
The “Harry Potter” actor, 33, was seen cradling his 4-month-old son as Darke, 38, held a “SAG-AFTRA on Strike” sign on the picket line.
The pair joined hundreds of actors and entertainers striking in Hollywood and across the country with the Writers Guild of America (WGA) for the primary time in over six a long time.
Ahead of the strike, Radcliffe opened up about his newfound journey into fatherhood.
“He’s very cute,” he told Extra of his son “We’ve moved right into a less screaming phase and he’s now giving us little smiles and giggling.”
“It’s been a crazy few months, as anyone who’s been through parenthood would attest. But it surely’s also the literal neatest thing that’s ever happened, so it’s great. I feel very lucky to give you the chance to have this time with him. It’s awesome.”
Radcliffe and Darke welcomed their first baby together in April, only one month after news broke that the “Miracle Employees” co-stars were starting a family.
The couple, who’re notoriously private and rarely make red carpet appearances, have been together since meeting on the “Kill Your Darlings” set in 2012.
Speaking to People about their relationship in March 2022, Radcliffe couldn’t help but gush about how “completely satisfied” he’s with the actress.
“I’ve got a extremely nice life,” he told the outlet. “I’ve been with my girlfriend for a decade just about.”
Radcliffe isn’t the one famous face joining the SAG picket line, as several famous faces have thrown their support for the strike in recent days — including Susan Sarandon, Brian Cox, and Jason Sudeikis.
The SAG-AFTRA unanimously voted to stop working after their contract expired and talks broke off with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents streamers Disney, Netflix, Amazon and others.
The strike marks the primary time the 160,000-member-strong SAG-AFTRA has walked out from film and tv since 1980.
The actor-screenwriter strike is the primary joint walkout in greater than six a long time — and has the potential to dam dozens of upcoming projects — equivalent to the “Avatar” and “Gladiator” sequels — until a recent contract with studios and streaming services is reached.
Each SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are demanding an increase in pay and residuals within the streaming era.
Also they are searching for assurances that their work is not going to get replaced by artificial intelligence within the near future.
