| | |  Dan Radcliffe talks 'Equus' and more
In an in-depth interview with thisislondon, Dan Radcliffe discusses Equus, including “the scene,” his dad, girls and what he does during his time off.
Dan on being nude in Equus: Quote:
We've done the scene a couple of times in rehearsal. I had no particular qualms. There's nothing that would stop me getting my kit off if that's what the work demands. The key to serious acting is to lose your inhibitions, to become free and fearless.
I feel OK about my body. Not totally, of course, no one my age does ... but I've gone to the gym to make sure. And many of the actors I admire, like Gary Oldman, have gone naked.
Doing Harry is hard, without question. But this is a massive leap for me.
On his Equus castmates: Quote:
Working with Richard Griffiths is a fantastic privilege. This feeling of being in a small company is so different from film where there are thousands involved yet you hardly get to see them. It's the most exhilarating thing I've ever done. Everyone is being supportive.
The techniques are so different from film, even just the basics about projecting your voice without sounding as if you're yelling your head off - all that is new to me.
On his father: Quote:
My dad is sharp. He's rarely wrong about people. I hope I share some of those genes. It's only when people say 'You know, I'm not friends with you because you're Harry Potter' that I know they probably are.
On his time off: Quote:
When I'm not working I'm quite good at motivating myself. I read a lot. I write and hope to do more, but haven't had anything published yet. My main expense is buying books.
I can go to gigs and no one notices me. Clubs are harder, where people are just chatting and drinking. I haven't met any aggression but I suppose that might change when I reach 18.
I can't drop everything and go out late if I'm filming or rehearsing next day. After a day like today, I just want to go home and go to bed.
On girls: Quote:
I think people are shocked that I've had girlfriends, which I have, and tend to think I'm a Peter Pan figure - but I'm definitely not, I promise you!
On children being allowed to view Equus: Quote:
I don't see any reason why you shouldn't bring kids because of people taking their clothes off, or because of violence to horses.
But - and I don't want to insult the intelligence of children - really, a play about the nature of psychiatry? Do you think a five-year-old would be interested?
On a photographer waiting outside: Quote:
I have to admire his persistence. But does he imagine I'm going to come out naked?
I can see why people want images of so-called celebrities falling out of clubs drunk. But a boy actor leaving rehearsal and being driven home to his parents? I don't think so.

Cool! A great interview from Dan! I wish I could see this so bad! Quote:

That made me laugh because it's true!

For the record I've never thought Dan was Peter Pan (that's more Rupert) and it surprises me that he's not smart enough to realize he's gotten the analogy wrong ... PP was totally a ladies man  *pets Dan* you can act in smart plays and you can play smart but that doesn't make you smart ... which is why I say ...
What? No naked pictures?

I've never been so proud of Dan! He's definitely growing as an actor. This play is going to show that he can play another role besides Harry Potter. I say Rock On Dan! | |

*tears* I am so proud of him!! Dan seems to be always growing, not only in acting but personally also. He really is a special and talented young man, and his good looks don't hurt either lol::  )) I would give almost anything to go to England and see Equus, it's going to be an incredible play. Awesome interview!! YOU ROCK MY SOX DAN!!!!!!!!!

I like that interview...He seemed very honest and open about it! And I like that he needs his parents to give him a ride! He's just like me!(Or maybe its the other way around...)

A radio station in my area keeps on making fun of Dan on this play and I'm getting soo sick of it. I mean as I read articles like this I feel like it doesn't matter as long as Dan likes what he's doing which he does, it doesn't matter to me and I don't think anyone should be making fun of him like that.
