In a new interview with Extra on Monday, the Lost City star shared more exciting updates about his little one while getting candid about the difficulties of parenthood.

Thankfully, after three months of robbing the new parents of any sleep, their baby boy is now in a "less screaming phase" and is now flashing "little smiles and giggling."

"It's been a crazy few months, as anyone who's been through parenthood would attest. But it's also the literal best thing that’s ever happened, so it's great," he said.

The Miracle Workers actor also shared that while he has no plans to stop acting, he does hope to take on a bit less work to spend more time with his newborn.

Radcliffe and Darke reportedly met and began dating in 2012 while filming the movie Kill Your Darlings, and the new parents now split their time between the UK and the US.
