Daniel Radcliffe Does ‘Details’ Magazine
Daniel Radcliffe, who will be starting previews of his Broadway debut Equus in about a week or so and is world famous for playing the part of Harry Potter, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Details magazine. In his coverstory interview, Daniel confesses to Details that his dream role would have him playing a character in drag, saying: “I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.” Oh really, Daniel? Tell us some more:
There’s only one thing the boy wizard wants now that he’s all grown up—to play a drag queen. It’s a brilliant June day in Manhattan’s Bryant Park. Small white clouds dot the wide arc of midtown sky. Children’s voices mingle with music from a gilded carousel. And, sitting on a green folding chair, as moms pass with strollers and idlers sip iced tea, the world’s most famous English schoolboy is talking dirty. “Stepping out the motherfucking carr, they in awe,” says Daniel Radcliffe. “I’m looking like a starrr, bitch.” He looks up. “How was that?” Bright-eyed and bushy-browed, the British actor is gamely reciting some phrases we’ve come up with to test his American accent, in preparation for becoming a full-time New Yorker when he moves here this fall to star in the Peter Shaffer play Equus. We started with some conversational basics—softened t’s (”Can I get a bottle of water?”), smashed syllables (”Look at the size of that squirrel”)—and are now in the extra-credit section: Lil Wayne lyrics. Radcliffe tries again. “Stepping out the motherfucking carrr, they in awe, I’m looking like a starr, bitch. When you see me make a wish.” Britain’s richest teenager, who will turn 19 in a few weeks, sure does look like a star: knockabout-natty with a choppy brown coif, olive designer tee, navy blazer, and dark skinny jeans—these last are made by Absolut Joy, he says, looking down to check the button on his fly. “And I would like to say that that’s what lurks beneath” … “Whenever I can I want to leave Harry there on the screen,” Radcliffe says. “I don’t want to bring him into my normal life” … Maybe because he’s surrounded by people at least twice his age, Radcliffe tends to date older women. He’s currently single, although he explains that this is primarily due to time constraints. “Most of my friends have been girls, and I see how they are with their boyfriends and I think, I couldn’t do that,” he says. “I just don’t have the time.”
He’s a saucy little scamp, ain’t he? After the jump, check out a short video from Details magazine of Dan in David Bowie make-up talking about his last Details photoshoot (among other things) and a couple pics of the lad making his way into Equus rehearsals on Broadway …
He sounds like a pretty sharp kid. He’s insanely talented and he’s got his head screwed on straight … he’s gonna continue to go far, I think.
Here are a couple pics of Dan Rad making his way into Equus rehearsals over the weekend:
David and I see the show on Broadway in just over 2 weeks. I am intrigued and excited. Woot!

I like that he jokes around like a regular teenage guy.
Not cynical or sarcastic joking just young and fun.

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. I plan on seeing the show later this year when I make it to NYC again!

I saw him front row in London last year at E and it was fantastic. It’s a very strange and crazy show! But wonderful too, and so is Daniel, we met him after the show. I was 21 at the time and felt like I was 13 all over again meeting NSYNC or something! I’m such a perv :P

i really like him!!

I share a birthday with him! I’m exactly 2 years older.
I’ve never been so proud to say I share a bday with him before. But it also makes up for the both of us sharing a bday with Monica Lewinsky, aha.
Too bad we’d probably never work out together… both Leo’s… that’d be way too much intensity in one relationship. I’m kind of more a Rupert Grint & Tom Felton girl myself, & usually I hate blondes. I was never obsessed with Daniel, for some reason. But he is beautiful now, no lie.

Way too photoshopped. And I love how they tried to add some color to his usual pasty looking self.

Well, I’m in my 30s and think he is HOT so what does that make me?? I shudder to think!!
What is up with all the guys liking Scarlet Johannsen though??? She is an ugly skank!!!
