Dirty Harry - great interview with Daniel Radcliffe


I just read a fantastic new interview with Daniel Radcliffe on the Daily Beast, as Daniel is finishing his last weeks doing Equus on Broadway. It's really worthwhile reading the whole thing, but here's a great bit where Daniel discusses Robert Pattinson's ability to "smolder" which he says he can't do:

Have you contacted your co-star in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix—Robert Pattinson—to give him any advice about his own sudden fame because of the Twilight films? He was once quoted as saying that if given a choice between himself and you, that girls would choose you every time.

I don’t have his number, so haven’t spoken to him. But I can safely say that his insisting that girls would choose me over him that they would not. That they do not. He is the much prettier and can be much more charming. And he can do that thing of being sultry and sexy.

You’re sexy, Daniel. Come on. Own it.

I can’t!

Yet in Equus you have a nude scene eight times a week. You’re flashing around your Elder Wand for all the world to see.

But I don’t know how to be sexy. Rob can just sort of stand there and look at something and start to smolder. And I just can’t do that. I’m a natural fidget.
Also, it includes a clip where Daniel does a kick line with his Equus horses for the Gypsy of the Year contest on Broadway:

Harry Potter Movie Like Trainspotting?


Huntington Post:

DANIEL RADCLIFFE has compared the new Hogwarts blockbuster to Scottish drug flick Trainspotting.

He says his sixth movie outing, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, has moments like the cult 1996 film.

Daniel told Empire magazine: "There's a fair amount of sexual energy and drug parallels. We have a couple of Trainspotting moments.

"That's two films I never thought would be mentioned in the same breath."

So does that mean we'll see Harry diving into the worst toilet at Hogwarts to fetch his wand?

There was just one promise from Daniel -- the dark parts are so dark, they're black.

But director DAVID YATES revealed: "We're opening with a big attack. We'll bring a major London landmark crashing down."

Rupert Grint -- brutally honest

From Perez:

British actor Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies) won't be moving to LA anytime soon because he 'can’t be bothered with airhead actresses'.

According to Rupe, he met Lindsay Lohan last summer and wasn't impressed as, "she talked about herself a lot." Grint went on to recall that, "She (La Lohan) said she was going to win an Oscar before she turns 25. I just kept thinking,‘But you can’t act’.”

Yes, well, she did win two Razzies last year for her 'stellar' performances.

Daniel Radcliffe grows up

Daniel Radcliffe plays the title role in "My Boy Jack" presented on PBS's Masterpiece Theater, Sunday night, April 20th.

Variety Reviews it here.

It's not exactly "Equus," but Daniel Radcliffe's maturation into this young-adult role is merely one reason to watch a poignant, splendid "Masterpiece" production, which star David Haig adapts from his 1997 stage play. Although set during World War I, Haig and director Brian Kirk have captured the timeless pain of young men being sent off to war, oscillating between that ordeal and the starkly different one endured by his worried family. If there were any doubts, it also demonstrates that for Radcliffe, there is clearly life after Harry Potter.

Haig (featured in "Four Weddings and a Funeral") plays Rudyard Kipling, a hugely celebrated writer in 1914, when he was sounding the drumbeat for war against Germany and urging that "every fit young man must come forward to enlist." That includes his 17-year-old son Jack (Radcliffe), who Kipling pulls strings to get into the army, after the spectacle-wearing lad is unable to pass an eye exam.
