Daniel Radcliffe opens up about reuniting with his best friend Jonathan Groff

Daniel Radcliffe recently opened up about what makes his latest reunion with Jonathan Groff so meaningful after their time together on Broadway.

For those unaware, Radcliffe and Groff are appearing together in the forthcoming movie Trust the Man, which is about an army man intelligence officer “probing a decorated soldier’s past during Vietnam becomes entangled in an obsessive pursuit as surveillance and questioning intensify, blurring lines between duty and fixation.”

While conversing with PEOPLE magazine at the New York City premiere of his new Netflix animated movie Steps on Sunday, November 8, Radcliffe got honest about working alongside his best friend in Trust the Man.

He said, “It’s called Trust the Man. I’m hoping it will be out at some point next year. I assume the route is going to go through festivals and try through that. But yeah, we filmed it together this summer.”

The Harry Potter star went on to reveal that the first person came to his mind for the role was Groff, so he played a major role in bringing him onto the project.

Radcliffe quipped, “I had read the script first and I was like, Jonathan’s perfect for this part. Could we do it?”

Notably, the film did not actually turn out to be a reunion because of their different schedules.

Alluding to Groff’s recent Broadway musical about Bobby Darin, the Jungle star said, “It didn’t work out for a long time and he was doing Just in Time and it had been recast with somebody wonderful.”

“And then it just so happened that by the time things came around again, Just in Time was finished and he was available to do it,” Daniel Radcliffe said.

It is pertinent to mention that Trust the Man wrapped filming in the summer of this year; however, it does not have a release date yet.
