| | | Dan Radcliffe talks Equus, Harry Potter & more in new interview
In a new interview with USA Today, Daniel Radcliffe spoke about his current work in Equus and how the stamina it takes to perform live on stage compares to long hours on a film set: Quote:
But Radcliffe, 19, dismisses the notion that live performance need be larger in scale or that doing eight shows a week requires more energy than a movie, "where there can be really long hours, and you might do 20 takes on any given shot."
His work in the Potter series helped Radcliffe develop the stamina required for the sexually and spiritually charged Equus, in which he plays Alan Strang, a teenager who undergoes intense psychoanalysis after committing a bizarre and brutal crime.
"There's a lot of sweat on me by the end," Radcliffe says. "I'm a physically repellent thing. At least it's good exercise. I don't have to go to the gym."
| Dan also talks about the warm reception he receives from fans after night performances of the play: Quote:
The fans that wait for him at the stage door "are really supportive. Someone said to me the other day, 'I'll never see Harry Potter the same way.'
"I wanted to say, 'See him the way you should always see him, as a character — just like Alan.' I hope to play as many characters as I can. I'll keep coming back to the stage and film for as long as they'll have me."
| Equus is currently running at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City; Half-Blood Prince hits theatres July 17, 2009. |

| Believe me, you get over the nudity very quickly, what with all that happens after the initial disrobing. |
