Daniel opened to People about the first time he met Erin in 2020, saying: ‘It’ll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day because of what our characters do with each other’ referring to a sex scene the couple has in the film.
He continued: ‘Our characters are meeting and flirting with each other, so there is this kind of sweet record of us just meeting for the first time and flirting.’
In 2015, he spoke to Playboy about how he was immediately attracted to her in their first scene together in the film.
He said: ‘There’s no acting going on—not from my end, anyway. There’s a moment when she makes me laugh, and I’m laughing as me and not as my character.
‘She was incredibly funny and smart. I knew I was in trouble.’
Erin told People that the pair bonded over “how much we really love what we do, and there’s something that’s really beautiful and really lovely about being with someone who just innately understands that about you.’
She added: ‘We’re both incredibly supportive of the other person’s career.’
Daniel is most famous for starring as the titular Harry Potter in the movie series, while Erin has starred in Still Alice, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Good Girls Revolt.
