So Daniel Radcliffe is making his West End stage debut in Equus, and bully for him. There’s just the little matter of the show’s publicity photos — the ones that feature the Artist Formerly Known as Harry Potter in a state of alarming disrobement. Bad enough that looking at Radcliffe’s nipples, I get flashbacks to Pale Man’s eyeballs in Pan’s Labyrinth, but then you glance downward and realize that he’s either wearing jeans that ride so low they’d make Britney Spears blush, or else, in the words of the great Tracey Ullman, the boy has got "No! Panties! On!" I mean, I can see…er, I don’t want to finish this sentence. Let’s just say Radcliffe is totally gonna be dubbed "Hairy Potter" by some jokester on his next movie set. It’s not like I have a problem with nudity, or even Radcliffe’s nudity (theoretically), but I don’t think I was ready for this jelly. Not yet. Not without a couple years’ notice. I’m not the only one dabbing my eyes with Clorox-dabbed Q-Tips, am I?

Well, he IS naked in the play, and not just from the waist up. As Max says, if ya got it, flaunt it!
Michael, too early in the week and morning to see that – but thanx anyways!
Radcliff is the new Daniel Craig, at least in my book!
HOLY COW, THAT’S HOT!
I saw that yesterday, and I personally like it…but I feel so wrong for liking it! It’s like noticing that the kid you used to babysit grew up to be hot!
Our Harry is growing up.
I hate to admit I’ve always had a little Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe crush. My friends all made fun of me for it, calling me Mrs. Robinson, Underage Wizard Lover (my friends were never very creative), but I think finally some of them will see what I’ve been going on about.
Forget him! Who’s the hottie who plays Jill Mason in the play?
go harry! woot!
He is sooo hot!
I feel as if I’ve committed a felony just by looking at these pictures.
Louise, that makes two of us.
I give him props for doing a play, and if he is comfortable with the nudity then whatever. I just wish the promoters weren’t trying to sell it as the “Harry Potter Nudie” play. You’d think he was naked through the whole play, which isn’t true (unless they’ve taken it to a whole other level!)
(Oh, I’m going to hell. I’m going to hell. Avert the eyes. I’m going to hell.)
Jail bait!
But I love it!
Jeremy,
I’ll see you there!
Now we can find out if his wand is as thin and crooked as the Harry Potter one.
the kid will look fine when he starts the “hollywood pressure look” with roids, plastic surgery, fake abs, etc
You guys should go over to mugglenet.com if you want to see more pix…He’s definitely not 11 years old anymore! Am I a perv just because I like looking at him and he’s 9 years my junior!? Just wondering…I’ll never look at HP the same way again knowing that his robes are covering up all that yummy goodness! Whew!!!!
Goodness… And I thought that bathtub scene with Moaning Myrtle was risque!
i also had a crush on daniel before, but OMG that young man is turning into one hot number. he is still jailbait, but he should be 18 soon, right? right?
Thanks a lot Michael! My eyeballs have been practically burnt out of their sockets. I feel dirty now.
Okay, one more look before my eyesight is completely gone….
Okayyyyyyyyy, he’ll be 18 on July 23. That’s only 174 more days (not that I’, counting or anything)…
EQUUS is a notoriously difficult, dangerous play, where the nudity is only a minor part of the show. It’s a shame that the PR stunt of Radcliffe’s nudity (YES, however yummy it may be) is overshadowing what is a smart young actor challenging himself in a very difficult, wonderful play.
I feared that when I clicked on this, that guy from Dateline was gonna pop out with his camera crew and start questioning me. Can we say Mystic Tan anybody?
I agree with Jess, Equus is a really difficult play. The nudity is minumal compared to Shakespeares “A Midsummer’s Nights Dream” where the Fairies, and Robin Goodfellow were all nude or semi-nude (depending how it is staged). I think he looks fine nude, but I don’t think that is what people should be focusing on. Then again it is the old University club senario. How do you get students to join a club? Pizza and beer. In this case, Harry waves his wand.
be careful harry. with behavior like that, you’re certain to get hogwarts.
Now I wish that Rupert Grint could go and os something similar…
those harry potter boy’s… good gooood
ps: I’m really going to hell
Daniel looks GREAT! Spot on! Enough children’s books, let’s all move forward.
Repulsive!!! Not every naked man is sexy, people! And this one is not a man, but a boy for crying out loud. It’s a yucky body he has. And don’t get me started about the horrid color of his skin. The lady behind him has better skin.I don’t think i’ll be able to have sex for a while after seeing these pix.
I have to say I feel a bit dirty for looking at these promo pics.
What is even worse is who is in the play with him, Richard Griffiths, who plays his Uncle in all the movies. Somehow I would find it hard to distance that thought from my mind.
My eyes, my eyes they burn! burn I tell ya! burn!
