New interview on Dan from USA Today talking about the Lost City and much more.

Daniel Radcliffe says that Abigail Fairfax, the villain he plays in “The Lost City” (in theaters Friday), was written as an impeccably dressed, totally together billionaire searching for treasure in the tropics.

But that was before Radcliffe, 32, landed in the Dominican Republic heat to shoot the adventure comedy, in which Fairfax kidnaps a romance novelist (Sandra Bullock) to help decipher an ancient key to a hidden jungle fortune.

“At one point, I was holding one fan, while two other people were holding other fans just to keep me from sweating through the costume of this guy, who is supposed to look calm, cool and collected at all times,” says Radcliffe. “I was like, guys, that’s not gonna happen.”

Question: A villain named Abigail Fairfax doesn’t exactly scream Voldemort for evildoer street cred. Did you call your agent when you found out your character’s name? 

Daniel Radcliffe: I found it funny, especially when Abigail Fairfax describes it as a gender-neutral name. But the thing was, the film staff would check us all into hotels in the Dominican Republic under our character names. So the hotel staff would be calling me Abigail. I would have to tell them, ‘It’s Dan. Please call me Dan.’
