Watch - Daniel Radcliffe’s “Google Hangout” discussion for The Trevor Project


Daniel Radcliffe sat down and chatted honestly with fans and The Trevor Project members in a Google+ Hangout. The Harry Potter star talked about the self-doubt that plagues him as an actor, but insists that what gets him through these hard times is having great friends and a loving family. “When you do feel self-doubt or you do feel unhappy and you talk to someone about it, it’s better, I do believe that a problem shared is a problem halved. But with things like self-doubt and the slightly more nagging things you do have to have to live with them for a while … You have to live in that place for a bit and if that really frightens you then that’s when turning to a friend will help. Those are the times when the quality of the relationships around you are really what is most important in life, in anyone’s life.”  

The live chat is part of The Trevor Proejct’s latest campaign, Talk to Me. As part of Suicide Prevention Month, the campaign aims to get LGBT youths talking about their feelings.

Daniel Radcliffe Hosting Online Chat On Google Hangout For The Trevor Project


Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has been a high profile supporter of the Trevor Project for a few years now. The Trevor Project provides crises intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth.

The boy wizard continues his involvement this coming Sunday when he participates in a live online discussion to raise awareness about preventing suicide through The Trevor Project’s Talk to Me campaign.

‘Suicide is absolutely tragic, and it’s also completely preventable, which is why it is so important to learn how to help during The Trevor Project’s National Suicide Prevention Month,’ Radcliffe says in a statement. ‘The Trevor Project is full of amazing volunteers who work every day to save lives on the phone and online, but the Talk to Me’ campaign is about how each one of us can help save a life, too. I am really proud to be a part of this extraordinary initiative with The Trevor Project.’

The live conversation will take place on Google+Hangout at 2 pm Eastern Daylight Time. It will be broadcast through TrevorTalkToMe.org and on The Trevor Project’s YouTube and Google+ pages.
