Daniel Radcliffe Accidentally Drank Anti-Freeze On Set

Date:

Daniel Radcliffe drank antifreeze on the set of the movie ‘Horns’.

Daniel Radcliffe recently revealed how he nearly died on Conan O’Brien. According to Harry Potter, Horns was filmed in Canada, so water on set had to be routinely mixed with anti-freeze to prevent pipes from freezing. Unfortunately for the actor, Radcliffe accident drank “full cup of non-potable water, which I guess was half anti-freeze.” He was sick for three days. But, that’s not the end of the story. After he was able to get back on set he accidentally drank another cup of Antifreeze. His hair and make-up people told him. “Don’t do that! That’s crazy, you can’t drink that water!”

Antifreeze is a toxic, colorless, odorless, almost nonvolatile liquid with a sweet taste that is sometimes accidentally consumed by children and animals due to its sweetness. Following ingestion the symptoms of poisoning progress from signs similar to intoxication and vomiting; to hyperventilation, metabolic acidosis, and cardiovascular dysfunction; and finally acute kidney failure.

The movie Daniel Radcliffe was working on was Horns, a feature film based on the novel by Joe Hill. Horns centers around Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) as the number one suspect the for the rape and murder of his girlfriend. Hungover from the night of drinking, Ig wakes up to find horns growing from his own head and soon realizes he has the power to make people confess their sins. Ultimately he uses his powers to find out who killed his girlfriend.

The movie sounds amazing but, critics have gave the movie horrible reviews.

“It seems to have been made by people who couldn’t decide if their film was a horror flick, a whodunit, or a Hellboy knockoff.”

 

“Although the film is relatively faithful to the plot of the book … missteps in casting, tone, structure and editing leave Horns a barely functional mess of a film.”

Rotten Tomatoes currently gives Horns a 43% rating score. Perhaps, Daniel Radcliffe was trying to figure out a way to get out of finishing the movie.
