In “The Lost City,” Radcliffe plays the unfortunately named villain, Abigail Fairfax, an eccentric billionaire who faces off with the film’s protagonists, played by Bullock and Channing Tatum, in the search for the Lost City’s treasures. It’s a silly role, but one that Radcliffe relishes and puts his all into.
Radcliffe already has a reputation as being a super nice guy, but the way he speaks glowingly about his time working with Sandra Bullock is putting him on a new plane of sweetheart-dom. In an interview with Sharp Magazine, Radcliffe speaks about how impressed he was with Bullock:
“There was nothing surprising to me about the fact that Sandra is an amazing actor in general and amazing actor to work with. I was like, ‘Yeah, of course. This is why you’ve been brilliant for so long.’ And the stuff that really did surprise me was as a producer because a lot of actors take vanity credit as a producer, but I cannot emphasize enough how much that is not the case with Sandra. They made this movie happen. Sandra was getting pulled out of the water from doing stunt scenes, and she was getting pulled out of the ocean and getting onto the boat and scheduling marketing meetings and stuff [on the side]. I was like, ‘Oh, wow, you’re really doing this!’ I didn’t necessarily expect that but it was very cool to see.”
As a fantastic actor in his own right, Radcliffe will surely get many more opportunities to work with some of his childhood heroes. But based on how he speaks about her, it’ll be hard for any of them to top Sandra Bullock.
