Even though his performances in the Harry Potter films suggest that Daniel Radcliffe is hewn from the finest wood, he's had very good reviews in the stage play 'Equus'. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6398353.stm)

There have been rumblings that Warner Bros isn't very happy with his decision to cast off the Harry Potter mantle so conclusively (there's a fair bit of nudity and sex in the play), though they've been quick to issue a 'we support the artistic decisions of our actors' statement.

Yes, read where he worked out with weights for months before his performance in this play. Also hes a millionaire now from the Harry Potter films, so I dont think he will be bothered about Warner Bros.

I saw the pics in a magazine a couple of weeks' ago, and have to admit he looked pretty fit.:love:

Apparently, there's been a lot of complaints from parents, who don't think it's right for Harry Potter to be acting nude/sex scenes on stage.

Has Daniel Radcliffe completely "cast off the Harry Potter mantle" ~ aren't there more films to come? If so, who is going to be Harry?

I mentioned to my son that young Daniel was looking decidedly fit in those photos.. He nearly choked and said I can't lust after Harry Potter :hihi: :hihi:

What ever happened to appreciating a good body :roll: :P ;)

Nothing wrong with looking but keep your mucky paws off his magic wand :P

Well I was shocked to find that this teenage actor has got a penis and he actually whips it out on stage!

But seriously, that's about as much as i know about this play he's in, from what I've read in the media. Still I'm sure it's absolutely essential to the plot.....

Due to the adult nature of this play, it is hardly likely that any of Daniel's younger fans will see it, so it should not affect their view of the Harry Potter character. I say good luck to him, hope he does well.

The casting off for him is temporary, I believe, though I reckon many are no longer going to be able to view him as just an actor in films aimed at children.

There have been mutterings already from aggrieved parents unhappy at the association of sex, nudity and - gasp - smoking with Harry Potter. The parents in the US who already think that Harry Potter is the devil's work must be (even more) apoplectic.
