Rupert Grint found his first night as a father "terrifying" because he thought his daughter was going to die in her sleep and had to constantly make sure she was still breathing.
The Harry Potter alum and his girlfriend Georgia Gloome welcomed their daughter Wednesday into the world nine months ago and in a recent interview, Rupert talked about the sleepless nights he experienced.
"I don't want to go into detail, but the first night was just terrifying. You can't sleep at all, just constantly checking that she's breathing," he said, adding that his sleep troubles began during his childhood.
"I think as a kid people always said, 'They died in their sleep', so I always thought sleep was a really dangerous thing".
The actor also joked he had an "identity crisis" when his daughter arrived, as he thought he had to change his wardrobe so he's look like a dad.
