Hello, Harry!

A lot of people are in a big snit over Daniel Radcliffe baring all in the revival of Equus opening in London's West End. I am not going to rehash all the details since there are billions of press releases about it on the net. The main points of contention seem to be one that he's 17 and "technically" a minor (though in the UK the age of consent is 16) and that two Daniel Radcliffe is The Face of Harry Potter, and therefore a role-model for young children and an icon of purity. Some parents are so upset that they are threatening to boycott the Harry Potter film franchise.

Poor, poor Daniel, he is being forced into the cage of type casting so many actors, particularly child stars, get forced into. Yes, he is the actor who plays Harry Potter (and looks exactly like the character) but people he is an ACTOR! He PLAYS characters, he is NOT those characters. Besides how many small children are going to an adult play like Equus and therefore see Daniel's naked wanker? Honestly people, THINK before you speak!

While I have no numbers to confirm this, my suspicion is that the majority of these complaints and threats of boycotts are coming from puritanical Americans. I love my country but I'm sorry most Americans are morons with sexual hang-ups. What do they expect actors like Daniel Radcliffe to do, just remain playing the same part for the rest of their lives never changing or growing? Hello, there are only seven Harry Potter books/films, that's not enough to set the kid up for the rest of his life let alone satisfy his thirst for his art. You know it's these same stupid people who bitch about actors like Daniel experimenting with different roles and occasionally performing in the buff that then turn around and bitch that all of the actors and roles today are all the same and unoriginal. You can't have it both ways you nitwits!

All that said, let me draw your attention now to my original intention for this post: Daniel Radcliffe is one hot piece of man-flesh! I know he's only 17 but STILL!! Just look at that body!! He is quite ripped. I prefer men 30+ but every now and again you see a younger guy that is quite the nummy treat. Besides with as skinny as he is he won't age well, so we have to enjoy the view NOW before he gets wrinkled and dried out looking. Smiley with tongue sticking out

So for everyone's viewing pleasure here are some of the publicity shots for Equus featuring a shirtless Daniel Radcliffe. Unfortunately they didn't release any photos showing his hairy plower. Frowning face You know there's more than a phoenix feather running through THAT magic wand! Grinning smiley
