Daniel Radcliffe Does ‘Parade’ Magazine
Daniel Radcliffe, star of the upcoming new film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Parade magazine which appears as an insert in newspapers around the country. In his coverstory interview, Daniel talks about (among other things) growing up as a celebrity, his lurve of older women and that nude scene he did on Broadway’s Equus. Here is DanRad’s Parade coverphoto and excerpts from his coverstory interview:
In this Sunday’s issue of PARADE, Daniel Radcliffe talks about breaking free of his Harry Potter image and finding love with older women.
Love has an age:
“Girls my own age are not really an option. I find, generally speaking, they have to be entertained more than older girls do. So most of the girls I have had serious things with are generally sort of in their 20s.”
On turning 20 next month:
“I’ve noticed I make noises when I get up and sit down now. I mean, my knees are rotten bad—I refused to wear knee pads too many times when I was doing stunts, and I just clobbered them up a bit. I am an old man in a young man’s body.”
Where Harry leaves off and Daniel begins:
“When I started out at the age of 10 or 11, I was essentially saying the lines as I myself would say them. When I became aware that that’s what I was doing, at 13 or 14, it didn’t make sense to change, because it would suddenly be a dramatic shift in the character.”
Shocking audiences with a nude love scene on Broadway:
“As soon as we started doing the show, people went, ‘Oh! So this is not pornography—this is a play,’ It was mainly hyped beforehand. I didn’t set out to shock people. I set out to do something different from Potter. If I had wanted to shock people I would have played, you know, a gay drug dealer.”
I’ve talked at some length of my respect for Daniel Radcliffe as an actor and as an artist and this interview with Parade goes a long way in fortifying that respect. The young man deffo has his head on straight and has the talent to make it very far in the biz. After the jump, check out the rest of the photos from his Parade mag photospread …
You can read the full interview online HERE or look for it in this week’s issue of Parade in your weekend newspaper. After being so disappointed by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I am very much looking forward to Half-Blood Prince (in theaters next month) which promises to be a big blockbuster movie with an actual intelligent storyline.

He’s not even 20 yet? I almost feel all dirty for fancying him so much now.

I have to admit, I was happy when he turned 18 so I could admit how fine he is without sounding pervy, haha. Can’t wait for HP and the HBP….FINALLY!

Dan is great. Always seems like a great,down-to-earth guy, and hehas turned into a terrific actor. A true success story of a person who went from child actor into the real deal.
