Harry Potter Get's Shitfaced In The New Slow Club Music Video

Slow Club released a new music video for their second single of their new album Paradise (which I suggest you go get), "Beginners". The song itself is nice and classic Slow Club. Booming anthemic chorus, with dreamy female vocals and sound that's just so damn uplifting. But thanks to the brilliant acting of Daniel Radcliffe in this video, I can only forever associate this song with one man's slow decent into alcoholic depression. The Harry Potter actor puts on easily one the best performances I've seen in him ever. You might think it's eerie how great Daniel is at getting in touch with a character who has so many inner demons and battles with the bottle. But then maybe not so surprising considering a few comments he's made publicly.


 On one hand, it's great to see Daniel openly acknowledging his past problems and agreeing to do this video and giving it a caliber performance to boot. The fact that he's a huge fan of the band also didn't hurt. But Jesus if the video isn't depressing as hell for such a cherry song. The plot is Daniel wakes up in an empty bar long after everyone has left and lip syncs the words to the song while he takes out his aggression on furniture. One can easily imagine that if half the things he's said about his past drinking problem are true, he's no stranger to the idea. But if that depresses you, for a renewed sense of fun, just pretend it's Harry Potter coming to terms with the fact that being "The Chosen One" doesn't really count as a marketable skill and after getting let go for his fourth minimum wage job out of school he decided to get blitzed on Butterbeer.  Check it out bellow.
