Radcliffe has been denied other youthful pleasures too. He has not yet been to a nightclub, again for fear of tabloid exposure:
"All it takes is for me to be seen chatting up a girl for them to, you know, make up some crappy headline about me being a sex rat or whatever they call it."
And does he like performing nude before an audience close enough to smell him?
"I’d be lying if I said I was completely fine,” he says. “I was nervous and I was a little bit worried. But not meaning to drop a name, I talked to Gary Oldman about it, because we get on very well and I know he’s been naked onstage. And so I said to him, ‘What’s it like?’ and he said, ‘On the first night you’ll be terrified and on the second night you’ll be terrified and after that you won’t care.’ And that’s absolutely true. When you’ve done it twice, it doesn’t matter anymore.”

Some body said to me the other day, ‘Do you ever worry that girls are just giving you attention because of who you are?’ I was like, ‘I’m 17, I don’t care! It’s wonderful! [He recalled being confronted by a girl, nude except for a towel, as he promoted the first Potter movie:] 'I was about 11 . . . I didn’t know what to do with myself. I was just discovering what everything was . . . I wish that would happen again. As I remember, she was very attractive. I’d be up for something now!'

Daniel Radcliffe, better known as Harry Potter, shows off his dark side in these new promo pictures for his upcoming play, Equus. Naturally, everyone's already in an uproar, with parents fretting for their impressionable young kids, and gays clamoring to get a piece of the action.
Are sexy pictures of Harry Potter gross and disturbing? Or hot, in that dirty, pedophilia way? We're not exactly sure, but we figured we'd just post them and leave the moralizing up to you.
Warning to parents: it may be time to take your kid's Harry Potter dolls away. Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who played the role of Harry in HP 1-98 is taking to the stage. He's slotted to play the leading role of Alan Strang in Peter Shaffer's "Equus." And he's ripping it all off for the role.
The play delves into the psyche of a boy named Alan Strang who blinds six horses with a metal spike.
In one scene the actor playing Strang is required to simulate sexual ecstasy while riding a horse naked.
First Emma Watson's getting wasted, then Dakota Fanning takes a nude role, and now Harry Potter's humping horses? Gosh, they grow up so fast.
Whew. Glad we can put to rest rumors that 15-year-old Harry Potter star Emma Watson was merely "posing" with that Corona.

With Harry Potter's sixth edition, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, hitting bookstores on Saturday, Amazon.com is taking extra precautions as it prepares to ship millions of copies in the coming weeks. Amazon is also celebrating its 10th anniversary, so what better way to generate some buzz with publicity about its veritible Harry lockdown?
The online bookstore is touting extra security at its warehouses, ranging from entry and exit checkpoints to limiting access to Potter inventory to only the employees with specific security clearance. Now if only our credit card information were guarded so tightly. Anyhow, back to watching Don Cheadle deliver Hotel Rwanda.
