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.
Queernicious
Omgomgomg. When did that boy turn so HOT?!
Beeftaco
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.
hafsa
daniel is so hot.God i wish that i could have him
vince
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.
Donald in Toronto
I’m going to be in London in April. Guess what show I’m going to be sure to see??
sumaiya says
Oh my God when did daniel get this hot body i couldn’t believe my eyes but i give him my word he is so hot.
Hannah
ok, this is kinda retarded cause many young kids look up to him as an idol, and he’s now on a stage NAKED!!! i mean yeah he’s pretty hot, but still he shouldnt be doing this
x3 hannah
dt
damn, he is soo hot. if he wants to play a nude role, then leave him to it. he is not a kid anymore, and people, if you dont like your childeren looking up to a naked actor then dont let them see the play, or any more of his productions. dont whine like babies
kk
i cant believe it…….i know that is not my harry!that is not HARRY POTTER! that is a cute/hot dirty, slutish, selfish, stupid ass!!!!! i use to love the good old harry but himm….hes a dumbass! can u imagine how his “fans feel about him now????
i hate him he is a bitch (a cute/hot bich)
Jesse
Ummm “ok, this is kinda retarded cause many young kids look up to him as an idol, and he’s now on a stage NAKED!!! i mean yeah he’s pretty hot, but still he shouldnt be doing this”
Hes an Actor .. he didnt choose to be a role model … I dont know why people get bent out of shape …PLUS! Its the human body and its not porn.
Cristian
wow. i remember watching about this on the Daily Ten on E!. i didnt recognize who it was but when i saw that hot ass body i remembered when was the last time i got that horny then i remembered harry potter. he turned hella fyne and i wouldnt mind his white ass in my bedroom. but everyone should realize he isnt a boy anymore. HES A HOT ASS MAN. :]
james
Can you all get over it? Nudity is not wrong….there is nothing wrong with it.
Jake
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 HEART DANNY RACKY!
Greg
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.
Jason
Omg you are hot,and i thought Ron was hot. You are to die for, give me your number, and i’ll give you a night to remember.
Shea
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..
Chelsea
Did I tell you guys that Daniel Radcliffe is future husband? oh, well he will be. he looks hottt!!!!!! I LUV HIMMMM!
Janelle
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.
chris Linton
Bloody hell leave the man alone! i am sure that if it was Alex vincent up there you would not give him greif and why is that? because they chose Dan to play this because he not only has major rolls or he has the childs eyes but because he has studied lots to audition and he has got in. Way to go Dan you have my full support!
Nick
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.
spiffy
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…
mark
Oh no! Little kids are going to see ‘Harry Potter’ naked and want to go naked too!
salibra
so in the play he rides the horse naked….? Where do i audition to be the horse?
KentonF
Oh you prudish people get over yourselves. Daniel is growing up and there’s nothing you can do about it. Get over it. It’s just a play, it’s just a naked body. Big whoop.
What a sick world we live in that nudity is considered unacceptable (especially to many religious persons) but violence and war in our everyday lives is not only acceptable but hardly even blinked over and by most of those same puritanical religious persons.
NONSENSE that’s all it is.
Youlo OY
Well, first off wtf. This is one sick thing, did any of you read what the movie is about “erotic relationship with horses” lol what a fag…enough said!!!
Brett
daaaamn daniel!
i wanna take him in the sack
big j
yo this (actor) is not a kid
he is a man and like the rest of us
he likes money if you are bothered by his decision
than get life you looser and don`t watch the play
find some one els to worship……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..loooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssser
Daisy
one word:
amazing=]]
ehhh
so fkng sexxxxxxy i wanna go more down and see wats under that bush!!!! and suk it!!!!! i think im going to enlarge the pic and jak off to it!
Shawn
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.
Alex
I, as an actor of the satge, i honar his decision to take this more mature role and step out of the shema ofr society. I feel that he will act the part wonderfully…and he is wicked hot. …..but anyway, he is a great actor and anyone who is stuck on him being Harry P. needs to get over it and start reading different books.
u dont need to know my name
pft this is nothing there is not this much fuss over other people who strip off and go run around a stage its not that bad we all know what people look like under there cloths anyway
George
MMMMMM! In that photo he is a FUCKING/REAL HOT/SKINNY…….
GREEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK GOD!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Mmmmm! He’s fucking hot, man!
Please… I want to be in his 18 year old party for receive him in the adult world!!!!!!!
Robert
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
zan
what the hell is this happening here he going mad cuz of money only he doing such a nasty things
and he shud not be a harrypotter anymore…………..
I hate him………………………..
Brad
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!!
Brad – USA
PS, President Bush was at the Stock Market today shaking hand’s with the wealthy. If he is such a religious man. Why is he not shaken the hand’s of the poor, those hit by Katrina and his own people who are starving. These are real issues we face everyday. Priorties People!!!
jessica
i love this photo of dan better then the other i sow.he is sooooooooooooooooooo hot and sexy i wish i could find more nude photos of dan.i sow this photo of dan on the morining news yestureday i dont care what my mother says hes freaken HOTT (with two t)
Caleb
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.
Regards
Caleb
karen
well i think if he is happy with what he is doing then it should’nt matter because he is 17 now and not a child anymore so everybody needs to leave him alone and let him make his own mind up if he wants to pose nude or not
martine
Ooh my God!! He’s is so fucking Sexy..It’s to bad that I live in Holland..But I can go to London by boat and maybe I’ll go to the teather!!
But unfortunately I can’t go to it!!
When I saw that picture I thought who is that sexy boy!! But then my mom said it was Daniel!!
Well I’m going now!!
bye..see ya xx martine
Alex
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.
Welcome to Adulthood Daniel!
Alex
eyjey
he is sooo HOT because he is my danyy i love youu daniel you are so cute 🙂
i <3 danny
ok first of all who cares wat he does?? if he wants to be in the play who are we to stop him? do u even kno him? didnt think so y do people even try wen they rnt gonna get any where? and second of all wats with all these people that r like OMG hes so hot wen did he get so hot. HELLO?! werent u paying attention? hes been hot since lik prisiner of azcaban duh? also he was definatly much hotter then and in the goblet of fire, when he wasnt quite so harry (lol i made a joke) i mean look at all of his random hair on his chest and the way too much hair on other parts
Caleb
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.
Regards
Caleb
Evelyn No
I love Daniel Radcliffe and his sexy 17 year old body. DAMN…………. *drools*
It’s not like he’s really that hot, he’s got hair over his balls. Don’t go for it girls, DON’T!
lol -_-
sherry
YUM!!! i am an adult and at the risk of being risque, DAMN harry potter grew up!
amy
It’s Daniel Radcliffe people… it’s not Harry Potter… for all of you who can’t make the difference get a life. He’s an actor, it’s his job.
rey jan
this picture was very hot…i really love this pic
cheryl
daniel is grew up now so he would like to movies and plays for older people to.
he not a little kid any more so he has the right any movie or play he like to do.
michele
I think Daniel is better than the crap he’s been doing lately. It’s sad he’s letting hiself get sucked into doing things like this. Yeah, expanding horizons…sure…right….Some cultures don’t consider you an adult until age 30. Now I kow why.
Vroom
I think Daniel has become a proud idiot of now. This nude act of this ‘used to be ‘ children’s hero will make children more vulnernable to sexual abuses and children will also be encouraged to experiment their sexuality at more early ages leading to more sexual traps for them. All because of his hellish ass.. He is surely not a hero of the society but an enemy of the society.
pete
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.
potter fan
This is to all the parents freaking out about daniel posing nude. This is HIS body HIS life and HIS career it is not about you or your family. If your children see him as a role model that is great what are the chances that your kids are going to see the play? Just make sure your children avoid seeing nude pictures and plays staring young actors and you should be fine.
Anonyumus
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.
Best Regards/Sincerly,
XXXXXXX
Carol
Wow, personally I’d prefer my two sons and daughter look to paper their bedrooms in nude pics of Dan Radcliffe than for them to watch a slasher film or Sadaam’s hanging. Why are people okay with violence and so prudish about nudity? It makes no sense but really shows the state of the world. Carol
Wyndham
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.
If you want to see my review of the show, which was excellent, do visit http://mad-about-the-boy.blogspot.com/2007/02/daniel-radcliffe-in-equus-review.html where you can also see (gasp) pictures of Daniel baring all…..
Jess
Why are people so afraid of naked bodies? Get over it we all have one and guess what?! your kids are going to grow up too!!! The human body is nothing to be ashamed of. I’m not suggesting you let your kid watch porn, but if you don’t talk about it with your kid they’ll learn it all from others at school….Who would you rather they get important info. from them or you???
Tejas
All you parents out there worried about what poor little 9-year old Billy Joe Bob might think if he hears about Radcliff’s nude scene should just shut the fuck up. And shame on you, parents, it you allow little Billy Joe Bod to see anything about Equus. It’s for ADULTS. So let your little snot nose rug rats watch Barney, and then let them decide what’s appropriate when they’re old enough. Do you Neanderthals realize the ancient Greeks competed in sporting events nude? Get over your Victorian hypocracy over the nude human body.
dylan
yo, danny is fuckin’ fiiiiiiiiiine. i want to rub my junk up against his all day. i want to take him out for a nice dinner and then
chocoholic
jees! what’s with all the swear words guys? what about the littke kids who hear about daniel radcliffe being nude? i mean, everyone on the streets is talking about it so it is not exactly hard to find out about. little kids get very easily influenced at a young age so daniel radcliffe should think about all the younger kids who look up to him and not just himself!
tata~
chocoholic o.O
p.s.- i can’t believe soem of you think he is hot or even okay looking!
Mike
I have a pic of him from Equus that shows his penis.
Sarah
I think Daniel Radcliffe looks so sexy. I think people who say he is doing a porn are stupid. Cause it is just a role in which he gets nude. I mean in movies when some girl gets naked is it classified as a porn,NO. So why is this?
