Daniel Radcliffe Takes It Off
 
 

cliffechestH.jpg
First and foremost, we feel like dirty old men for thinking 17-year old Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's kind of hot. If only we were still in high school, but, alas, we're not, thus the sight of his surprisingly fit body makes us feel a bit salacious – certainly a bold statement coming from us. But, of course, we're not the only ones with conflicting feelings about Radcliffe's role in Peter Shaffer's scintillating, Equus.

A number of Potter fans have spoken out against Radcliffe's lengthy nude scenes, scenes many think tarnish his family friendly image. One protester tells The Daily Mail:

We as parents feel Daniel should not appear nude. Our nine-year-old son looks up to him as a role model. We are very disappointed and will avoid the future movies he makes.

Yeah, we're sure he's really concerned, especially considering his participation in the West End play's helped rake in over £1million in pre-sale tickets.

Another concerned citizen wonders what Radcliffe's parents think of all this: "I am curious as to how and why his parents said this was okay." Um, because it's called acting. One can't expect him to play a boyish wizard forever, right? Unless, of course, you're hoping he'll end up like too many other child stars: strung out and unemployed.

You should visit the real Potte sites, Leaky Cauldron, or Mugglenet, there are tons of girls drooling over these pictures, probably 90% of most of the comments are in support of his choice and also drooling over his nice body.

Of course there's no mention of how brilliant this play is. Amazing that it's still as controversial today as it was 35 years ago. You have to be a real actor to tackle it and survive.

don't they realize that he's always naked underneath his clothes? (cue shakira)

it isn't like he's doing porn.

and if this is the first time they've ever heard of Equus, then they really should just keep to themselves.

Whatever.

First, the children who idolize Radcliff in the Harry Potter films aren't going to see Equus. Second, It's not porn, it's art. It should be respected.

People without good reason want to bitch, and they've had their 15 minutes. Get over it.

Like many others, I also feel like a REALLY DIRTY OLD MAN when I view these photos. He's quite attractive, yes, but he's also very talented. We must give him that.

I mean, I'm still going to watch it to see his [GORGEOUS/LICKABLE] body, but that's just me.

I can't believe there are people who are saying he shouldn't be doing this! To start with, it's his life. Who are we to tell him he shouldn't be doing this? Secondly, it's not like he's appearing in a pornographic film – it's theatre! Thirdly, this is nature at it's best. If you find the human body repulsive, then don't see it!!! People have said this will ruin their kids opinion of him. If you're that worried about it – I have an idea – don't take them! For God sake people, it's a bottom and a penis!!! Get out more.

If parents are so upset about the naked body-what difference does it make WHO'S body it is?? He isn't 11 years old anymore!! The choices he makes for his career are his own to make…Threatening not to take your kids to his next Harry Potter movie isn't going to make one difference to him-he is a multimillionaire-you would just be keeping your kids from watching a great film…..I am not sure what point this proves….Grow up!! The play is a work of art and expression-if you find it offending don't go, but don't punish your kids by keeping them from seeing the next Harry Potter film..

Now I'm not saying this is right or wrong, but if you think about it, why bother saying anything about if it is right or wrong when no one cares what is said. I'm just saying that agrueing about it won't change anything, he is going to do what he likes because it's his life. Do people tell you how to live you're life and you actually do what they say? I'm guessing no, so I would just let him do what he wants with his life, and stop complaining about how it will affect you're lives. For all those people out there who like throw there opinions around without thinking them through, and thinking about it selfishly instead of thinking of what others want, learn to stop putting you're opinion in where it doesn't matter. Learn to accept and not criticize what others wish to do with there lives. If you don't want to see it then don't look, and if you don't want it happening ignore it, because it won't change what people wish to do. Everyone does what they want no matter what they say. No one can ever make you do or not do something, if it's what you want.

Okay, let me start by saying that I'm fine with him being nude on stage… but I seem to keep reading stuff about how "buff" and "hot" he now is…
He's got a nice face, but he's skinny. That's not buff… and it's not even very attractive. I mean, you can see his ribs. And the random and slight chest hair is not so hot. Meh.

Still, good for him, acting outside of the normal Harry Potter field. Who cares where else he acts? Kids are idolizing Harry, not Daniel. If they ARE idolizing Daniel, hopefully they're idolizing him because of his ACTING skills, and not because of his bravery and magic. Kids really need some destinction between reality and fantasy for cases just like these.

Thanks Nick! I thought I was the only one who thought he was kinda pasty and scrawny — yeah, I felt like a total perv for the first five seconds, just because there was an almost naked male body on my screen — but I got over it. Very quickly.

Cute? Maybe. Hot? Not so much. Nice photo though.

And really, I'm sure young Mr. Radcliffe doesn't want his career to be defined only by his Harry Potter character. How sad it is for some of these actors (the Star Trek genre as the best example) that the fans simply refuse to believe them as anyone else but those singular roles…

First, if you don't want your 9 year olds to see him naked DON'T FRIGGIN TAKE THEM TO SEE EQUUS.

Second, he is past the age of majority in Britain folks, give him a break, and let him maybe have a career as an adult instead of trying to pigeon hole him into kiddy roles for the rest of his life.

Third, most british actors have taken their clothes off for theater, that is what they consider REAL acting, not this film crap.

Well, duh. He's been hot since like HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I knew where his bod was going even from the second HP movie. And it was nice to have my preconceptions verified in HP and the Goblet of Fire (bath scene).

He likes Punk, played guitar (bass now I think), and had a body even a couple years ago. I play guitar (circles around him) and played bass for several years. Punk, I can live with it. We're made for each other! ;)

Send him hither for his 18th and I'll give him some guitar lessons to remember… ;P

There is a really nasty war on right now and people are all freaked out and waisting their time on a actor nude in a play. ( 1. ) He is a actor ( 2 ) Nudity is not ugly ( 3 ) America need's to grow up! ( 4 ) I will still see Harry Potter movies because I am smart enough to view this situation as a actor trying to learn his craft and show different sides of his acting style's and is not afraid to try different thing's. And if your worried about your kid;s knowing this then spend more time with them and stop using the TV as a babysitter. Now let's all get back to getting this war taken care of and find better thing's to worry about!!

I was so weirded out when I saw this picture.

I couldn't work out what was so strange about it. I looked closer until I figured it out. This guy has exactly the same chest, shoulders and arms as me.

Once I realised it I couldn't stop staring.

Might not be quite so now – I'm 34 and he's what – 17? But when I was younger – identical.

So it really is a bit strange when I hear people say how hot his body is. I know they weren't saying it about me (I wasn't saying it about me either). What a bunch of star fuckers we all are.

He is a man now, and its impossible to cast him as Harry Potter from this point forward. I say good for him, as he is now doing his own thing. The play, apparently is brilliant, and much of it is because of him.

He may be getting alot of negative feedback, but change is difficult, this will benefit him in the end.

Of course the play might not be brilliant largely due to Daniel Radcliffe – it could also be mainly to do with the fact that the play itself is brilliant.

If anyone wants to experience the joy of this play, pick it up at your bookstore. The play was acclaimed when it came out (without a nude Harry Potter to draw the crowds) and I'm sure it will be acclaimed again.

Of course reading a play is never quite as satisfying as watching it being performed, but you should be able to get a feel for Peter Shaffer's intent.

I think Daniel has become a proud idiot of now.

Persionally I think there's nthing wrong with it. He's an actor, and if a role requires that he should get naked, then so be it. Just because he's well known as a ficticious boy wizard in stories that are aimed at children doesn't mean that he should live his life wrapped in cotton-wool.

He's getting older now, and he will probably like to attempt grittier, more adult roles. Who knows, maybe in a later movie he'll wind up playing some axe weilding, sex maniac who hacks people to pieces after doing unspeakble things to them.What's going to happen then? Are all the Potter fans going to start saying it's wrong and "Harry shouldn't be doing this".

There's the thing you see the comment "Harry shouldn't be doing this". The guy is not Harry Potter, because Harry Potter is a ficticious person who never existed. He's Daniel Radcliffe a real person who should be free to make up his own mind what he wants to do with his life.

Dear PEOPLE who see this,

This Daniel is not the on we see on Harry Potter. This is himself. I, myself, think this is very sexualy bad. It is like he is making love with this young actress. Sexual relationship, sex, or whatever you call it. Is BAD. I think this Daniel is not the one we see in theatres or at home on DVD. In the first picture, he is 3/4 quarters nude. He is showing his private to others almost in thy pictures. He is naked in the London theatres. If older would he have sex scenes in adult movies? Girls say he is SEXY and some might even have a thought of going to bed with him. Disgusting. I respect him, but also think he is INSANE. He is not HOT/SEXY/BITCHY/ASSLY/CUTE! He is very Wierd! I hope he will not be showing off his PENIS later. He is voted 55% SEXY on a magazine called,
WEEKLY US. Hope he will think his CAREER over.
I hope you will also respect him.

Oh dear! What a state some people get themselves into over nudity.

Seeing Daniel Radcliffe naked on stage isn't going to turn a young person into an exhibitionist and start taking their own clothes off. As for the supposed role model, hundreds of other supposed role models have taken their clothes off in far less artistic ways and have also done far worse.

Whay does a bit of nudity upset people so much – really strange? Kids can, and do, see nudity in the daily newspapers, magazines and TV nearly every day without it affecting them unduly.

Grow up people.
