Wow! He was thrust into the limelight when he played Harry Potter’s spoiled cousin, Dudley Dursley, in the acclaimed franchise
During an interview with People magazine, Harry said: ‘I think it was an unconscious thing when it started to happen.
‘I went to drama school when I was 18 and that’s kind of where the weight shifted, not for any sort of major need on my side, but it’s just something that just happened.
‘And I’ve done a lot since drama school, went to do lots of theatre. I think one of the blessings of that sort of stage in my life was the fact that I didn’t get recognized.
‘I had this history of being part of the films, but also I felt like I had the opportunity to sort of cause a new start, which I think is useful.’
