Daniel Radcliffe, who very famously stars as Alan Strang (a character that gets buck nekkid on stage) in the Broadway play Equus is featured in the December 1 episode of Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo. In his interview, host James Lipton brings up the subject of onstage nudity and queries Dan Rad about how comfortable he is being fully nude in front of a live audience on stage on a nightly basis … and then the topic of erections comes up (pardon the pun):

LOL! Best.Answer.Ever. Dan then goes on to talk about the daunting nature of the “emotional nakedness” of the character but, c’mon, how can there be anything more daunting than facing physical nakedness in front of hundreds of people in a cold, pretty well-lit theater on a daily basis? He’s a champ for taking on the role so whole-heartedly and he deffo has my respect. As I mentioned, this ep of Inside the Actors Studio featuring Daniel Radcliffe won’t air on Bravo until December 1 but you can click HERE and HERE to watch clips of Dan talking a bit about the Harry Potter movies to tide you over until the ep airs.

Daniel Radcliffe is well into his current run on Broadway as his play Equus continues to thrill audiences on a nightly basis. Y’all may recall that I was very fortunate enough to see the show for myself back in September and before that we were treated to a few covert (but not very clear) photos of Dan‘s nekkid scene on stage. This week, new and much clearer photos of Dan and his manhood have made their way to the Internets:

If you think you can handle all the NSFWness, you can see these uncensored pics behind the cut … AND there’s video! After the jump, check it out …

Harry Potter and Equus star Daniel Radcliffe was snapped doing a bit of jogging on the streets of NYC earlier today with small water jug and iPod in hand … behold:

At first, I thought that Dan might’ve been running from a swarm of fans but I now believe that he was merely jogging in order to stay in shape. Anyone familiar with his Broadway role in Equus knows that the DanRad is butt nekkid for about 7 minutes at the end of the plan on a nightly basis (twice on the weekends) so homie’s gotta keep his bod in shape. Earlier today we learned that Zac Efron (the US version of Daniel Radcliffe???) has been real bizzy keepin’ his body in shape … so I think Dan‘s just interested in doing the same. I can’t blame the lad in the least. When appearing nekkid on stage in front of a full house of audience goers on a daily basis, it behooves one to take advantage of every opportunity to look good that one has. Run, Dan, run!

Daniel Radcliffe has confessed to writing steamy, sexual notes to one of his Equus co-stars in order to “wind up” the person … but it’s prolly not the co-star you’re imagining. No, it’s not theater veteran actor Richard Griffiths, it’s not even his female co-star Anna Camp … no, Dan has confessed to writing these sexy notes to 31 year old Lorenzo Pisoni, who plays the horse Equus on stage:

Daniel Radcliffe sends sexy letters to his ‘Equus’ co-star. The ‘Harry Potter’ actor is currently starring alongside Lorenzo Pisoni in the Broadway production of the play – in which Daniel bares all for his role as a horse-obsessed stable boy – and has revealed he gave the 31-year-old actor a series of raunchy notes on the show’s opening night. Daniel said: “We’re getting on very well indeed. I’ve written some really, really deeply sexual things on some of the cards I’ve given him for opening night. But just to wind him up, you know.” The 19-year-old star added he is in awe of Lorenzo, terming him “cool” and “gorgeous” before claiming he would even consider marrying him if he was gay. He said: “He’s great. He’s a truly remarkable man. If I was gay or a female I’d just want to marry him. He’s gorgeous, and he’s really cool bloke as well.”

Well then, isn’t that lovely. I must say, I am quite impressed that Daniel would have no qualms about saying these sorts of things about his very handsome co-star. Surely many people will take this revelation as proof that Dan is gay or even questioning but I honestly believe the opposite. It takes a person very secure with who they are to say things like this in public without fearing any reprisal. Sure, these comments may come back to haunt him but I’m pretty sure he’s OK with whatever anyone has to say about him. It’s impressive. That being said, I’m dying to know what sorts of “raunchy” things he wrote to Lorenzo … just curious ;)

Daniel Radcliffe made his Broadway debut yesterday as his new play Equus opened in previews at the Broadhurst Theatre in NYC. As you may recall, Dan stunned his Harry Potter fans last year when he premiered his Equus role in the UK … a role that requires full-frontal nudity on stage. Equus officially opens on Broadway on September 25 but last night was the show’s first preview performance. According to reports, Daniel gave a riveting performance:

Some might even say it was a magical evening. Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe appeared in his first preview performance of the Broadway drama Equus … earning raves from fans. “I thought that he was terrific,” Mandy Menaker, a college student who attended the performance at New York’s Broadhurst Theater, told PEOPLE. “He had a lot to offer. So I thought it was great.” Danielle Manente from New Jersey agreed that Radcliffe was wonderful. “He was really good. He captured the character [and] he was so into it. He never broke character. I believed everything he said.” In the revival of the 1973 Peter Shaffer play, which was also staged last year in London, Radcliffe stars as Alan Strang, a distressed and hostile teen who commits the horrifying act of blinding six horses, while a psychiatrist (played by Radcliffe’s Harry Potter costar Richard Griffiths) tries to get to the heart of why he did it. Radcliffe first entered stage embracing an actor playing a horse … His very emotional performance, which reveals Strang’s anger and fear, was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. Not to mention wowing the crowd with the nude scene, which comes toward the end of Equus. “Oh my God! That was nice,” said Manente of Radcliffe’s character fully undressed himself in an attempt at lovemaking with a young woman. “I’m not gonna lie. He looked pretty good.” “By that point he was so in the character,” Menaker added, “that you don’t think of it as Harry Potter naked. He’s naked as a character emotionally, so you’re not at all thinking that he’s physically naked. You’re so involved in the scene by that point that you don’t even notice.”

Yeah, I don’t care how “in character” he gets in this performance, I think I’d notice his nekkidness. Throughout the entire West End run of Equus last year no nude frontal photos of Daniel Radcliffe managed to make their way out of the theater (altho, a few pics of the very nekkid Alfie Allen hit the InterWeb earlier this year when he took over the role after Dan‘s run ended). After the jump, check out a few grainy pics of Daniel Radcliffe‘s NSFW nude scene in the first preview performance of Equus last night …

Earlier this week we got to see Daniel Radcliffe on the cover of the new issue of Details magazine … but that cover did nothing to prepare me for his photospread inside the mag. The video interview that Details posted on their site, it turns out, teased for the look of his photospread … check out the pics:

Yeah, I’m not entirely sure what is going on with the styling of this shoot but … I’m not a fan. I’m not sure which disturbs me more, the Dragon Ball Z-looking hair-do or the Star Trek-inspired outfit — neither of which really seems suited for Danny boy. Honestly, I’m at a loss … thoughts?

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 …

Here are a couple pics of film and stage actor Daniel Radcliffe making his way out of the New York Times Center building in NYC yesterday (as he was mobbed by throngs of awaiting fans) after sitting down with the newspaper to do an interview about his upcoming stint on Broadway in the play Equus:

On Tuesday, August 19, 2008 Daniel Radcliffe, soon to make his Broadway debut in Equus, participated in the New York Times’ Times Talks Seminar Series. Press notes described the event as, “Daniel Radcliffe: Screen to Broadway Stage, From the boy wizard in the “Harry Potter” films and Rudyard Kipling’s ill-fated son in the TV drama “My Boy Jack,” to the disturbed teenager in the London and Broadway revivals of Peter Schaffer’s play Equus, Daniel Radcliffe is an actor of diverse talents. He discussed his upcoming Broadway debut in the drama,which starts previews on September 5, and also how he’s been able to move from screen to stage so seamlessly.” Daniel Radcliffe was interviewed at the sold out event by Julie Bosman, New York Times culture reporter. Equus begins preview performances on Broadway on September 5th prior to opening night on September 25. Equus will play a strictly limited engagement through February 8, 2009.

You may have heard that Warner Bros. studios has decided to push back the next Harry Potter film, The Half-Blood Prince, from this Fall to next Summer … most likely because they didn’t want their basically innocent kid’s film competing with Daniel‘s racy Broadway run (which starts next month) and features the lad completely nude on stage … nightly. Makes sense. I imagine Dan will be staying in NYC for the time being, he’s sure to have stage preparations and rehearsals to get thru before his first preview show on Sept. 5 (David and I are going to the Sept. 15th preview performance). Let the fun times commence!

Daniel Radcliffe, who will be reprising his Equus role on Broadway next month, is featured in the new issue of Vogue magazine in a couple new photos shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. The first pic was snapped for the magazine, the second pic (I understand) will be used as a promo photo for Equus on Broadway … here is the first, clothed pic:

The second pic is more … risqué … it features Daniel laying atop a big horse completely nekkid while veteran stage actor and his Equus co-star Richard Griffiths stands by looking … uncomfortable (or constipated, I can’t really tell). After the jump, check out the semi-NSFW image …

Here are a couple of new promo pics for the upcoming Broadway production of the London revival of Equus which starred/stars Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths. You may recall that Radcliffe and Griffiths appeared in the West End production of Equus last year and were met with much critical praise … starting next month, the duo bring the play to the Broadhurst Theatre here in NYC:

Richard Griffiths and Daniel Radcliffe, who starred in the London revival of Equus, are set to reprise their work in the upcoming Broadway production of Peter Shaffer’s award-winning play. Director Thea Sharrock again directs the production, which will arrive at Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre Sept. 5. The show will open Sept. 25 for a strictly limited 22-week engagement through Feb. 8, 2009. In Equus, “psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Tony Award winner Richard Griffiths) investigates the blinding of six horses, a savage act committed by a mild-mannered stable boy, Alan Strange (Daniel Radcliffe), whose home life is filled with bigotry and religious fervor,” show notes explain. “As Dysart reveals the mysteries behind the boy’s demons, he realizes he is confronting his own.” Joining Griffiths and Radcliffe in the Broadway production will be stage and screen actress Kate Mulgrew.

Hopefully there will be a few more promo pics released for this newest production of the show, back when Equus opened in London we were treated to a whole slew of hawt pix of Danny boy in various states of undress. I am very much looking forward to seeing this show, finally, for myself. Not only am I … intrigued … by the notion of so much nekkidness in a major Broadway play like this but I am such a huge fan of Kate Mulgrew. She played Capt. Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager and I have loved her ever since. I have a couple of amazing seats for the September 15th show so I am very, very excited. Woot!
