Daniel Radcliffe visits Alan Rickman at 'Seminar', talks possible new acting role
 

Daniel Radcliffe visited his former Harry Potter costar Alan Rickman earlier this month backstage of the Snape actor's production of Seminar, currently on Broadway. A photo of the pair from November 7 can be seen, via EW, here. It should be noted that the production was canceled on Thursday as Alan fell ill, having suffered from an acute respiratory infection, but according to the production's Facebook, it will continue performances this evening.

While doing promotion for The Woman in Black this week with international press, Daniel Radcliffe let a couple of teasers slip about a possible project he may be doing in 2012, after he completes work in How to Succed in Business Without Really Trying and his promotional tour of the supernatural thriller in January and February 2012. Dan spoke to France's TÊTU magazine and had this to reveal (loosely translated to English).

On Monday, during the marathon promotional for his new film, The Woman in Black, the star of Harry Potter released he was "very likely" to play a gay character in a movie to come out in the course of next year. "But I will say no more," he told TÊTU.

Radcliffe prefers to anticipate the hype around this future role: "Many things will be said about the gay thing, but I prefer to say now that this project is much more than that."

As for the prospect of kissing a boy? "I'm not sure that I would like it," he smiles. "But I guess I'll find out."

Aww... Alan's on Broadway! I shood probably see him.
A gay character? That'll be interesting.

Wait what? Gay character? Interesting. :D

Dan seems as comfortable with his sexuality as Darren Criss is. That'll be very interesting if the movie is made. I think Dan's a wonderful actor and I hope he's going to have a successful career. I'm not saying that because he played Harry but because he shows an image of himself that is rarely seen in Hollywood. It's fun.

truthfully, I would hate it if Dan accepted the role. I've had a crush on him for like 10 years now, I really don't want to see him playing a gay character...kissing boys.. *shudder*. Can't wait to see him in Woman in Black though!!

Interesting! :)

cool!! :D. i am intrigued to see him playing a gay character :]

A gay character... interesting!

I think it'll interesting to see Dan play a gay character! :)

Professor Snape and smiling?????? and wow dan in a gay role...kind of hard to digest at first but he's so talented he can rip off any role with so much ease. You go dan you're the bessssst actor out there!

i truely believe in dan's acting abilites so im sure he 'll pull it off but i hope it would be just hypothetical like in alot of movies when you know that the character is gay but you don't get the sexual part of it, but until its for sure he's gonna take the part i'll keep crossing my fingers that he doesn't.

A gay character......fascinating.

I think it'd be interesting 2 see Dan play a gay character. Glad 2 see he's not afraid 2 go outside of his comfort zone :)

Okay, I have nothing against Dan playing a gay character-I mean, so many straight actors have done it. But I think this is another thing that will be taken the wrong way, be criticized, and typecast Dan. I would hate to see him redo all of the work he's done to break out of one stereotype just to walk right into another. I sincerely hope his agent helps him to realize this.

What a great photo of them. A gay character, interesting. I am sure all the slash shippers are doing cartwheels right now!

Awesome...Love the picture :D

Nice..

OK forget about Dan playing a gay character, all thoughts and prayers to Alan for a speedy recovery.

So many similarities between Dan and Darren Criss! Both have played Harry Potter, both have played/will play Finch in How To Succeed, and now Darren is a straight guy playing a gay character on Glee, and it looks like Dan may do the same.

Love the picture. :loved:
It's interesting to think of Dan playing a gay charrie. Wonder how it'd be like? :hmm: Hope Alan gets well soon. :glomp:

Yay! Dan and Alan together! :woot:

Hm, that seems to fit Dan. :lol:

Dan is a brilliant actor. He could take on any role. I don't think there's anything wrong on portraying a gay character

haha gay character? this can be interesting! :D

Well, this won't help put away the rumors about Dan's preferences. I wish him luck!

interesting!
