Daniel Radcliffe gets candid as he reveals the moment he was chosen to be the ring bearer at his Merrily We Roll co-star Lindsay Mendez’s wedding.

During his conversation with Variety at the Drama League Awards on May 17, Radcliffe recalled the “nerve-wracking” experience because he was not supposed to be the ring bearer until the previous night, and Mendez thought it would be funny, as the actor plays the ring bearer in their show as well.

What did Daniel Radcliffe say about being the ring bearer at Lindsay Mendez’s wedding?

Speaking to the entertainment portal, the Harry Potter star recalled the event and revealed, “It was really nerve-wracking because, until the day before [the wedding], I wasn’t the ring bearer, then Lindsay thought it would be funny because I’m the ring bearer in the show.”

He further added, “I was like, ‘Oh, man, now I’ve got responsibility at this wedding, and I have to not screw it up. I have to not drop the rings in Central Park and lose them.” Radcliffe revealed that, in the end, it was all fine, and he did well.

Mendez made sure that her co-stars were handed responsibilities at her wedding, and so, not only Radcliffe but the actress asked Jonathan Groff, too, to be an important part of her big day. Groff was asked to officiate at the All Rise actress’ marriage day.

Elaborating his emotions while officiating the wedding, Groff said, “To be officiating Lindsay’s wedding as she’s embarking on this journey with her husband and Dan [Radcliffe] there as the ring bearer within this moment of Merrily really was so special.”
