Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has shared an update on his baby son, admitting he is smitten as the newborn reached an adorable milestone.

The actor, who became a first-time dad after welcoming the baby with partner Erin Darke in April, told E! News of parenthood: "It's a crazy thing, but it's also really beautiful.

"Watching my girlfriend become a mum is really the most incredible, beautiful thing to be witness to. So, it's great."

Revealing a sweet milestone their little lad has reached, Radcliffe added: "He's smiling and that's all I need. Like, that's awesome. Some people have to wait a lot longer for that, so I'm really happy with that."

As for how fatherhood will affect his approach to acting gigs, understandably he'll tinker a little bit because he wants to be at home to see his child grow up.

"I'm sure I'm going to probably, for at least a few years, become a little more selective about how much I work just because I really enjoy spending time with him and I'd like to continue doing that," Radcliffe pointed out.

"But obviously, I love my job and I'm not going to stop doing that."

The Weird: The Al Yankovic Story actor also spoke to Entertainment Tonight earlier this month, where he discussed soaking up the joys of paternity leave.

"It's great. It's crazy and intense, but he's wonderful and Erin is amazing - it's a real privilege also to have this time with him," he said.

"I was always going to take some time off, which not everyone is able to do, and so I'm able to kind of just be here with him a lot, which is lovely."
