Is the crowd gathering in Broadway to see performance or nudity?
The innocent young lad, who played the role of “Harry Potter” in the famous Harry Potter Heptalogy, is in the headlines again for a different reason.
Daniel Radcliffe managed to gather a huge gathering by just removing his clothes for his London production of playwright Peter Shaffer’s “Equus”.
To fulfill the requirements of the role, the childlike Harry Potter star had to strip but the audience and the critics have expressed their appreciation for the dazzling performance of the actor.
A reviewer Elysa Gardner wrote for USA Today, “‘Equus’: Radcliffe revealed as a serious actor”.
Variety also said, “In his impressive debut in a major stage role, as the disturbed adolescent in ‘Equus’, Daniel Radcliffe significantly helps overcome the fact that Peter Shaffer’s 1975 Tony winner doesn’t entirely hold up”.
Daniel Radcliffe has compared the new Hogwarts blockbuster to Scottish drug flick Trainspotting. He says his sixth movie outing, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, has moments like the cult 1996 film.
Daniel said: “There’s a fair amount of sexual energy and drug parallels. We have a couple of Trainspotting moments. That’s two films I never thought would be mentioned in the same breath.”
So does that mean we’ll see Harry diving into the worst toilet at Hogwarts to fetch his wand?
There was just one promise from Daniel — the dark parts are so dark, they’re black.
But director David Yates revealed: “We’re opening with a big attack. We’ll bring a major London landmark crashing down.”
Trainspotting’s Begbie should get a part. He’d sort Voldemort out sharpish.
Rupert Grint has cooled on a move to Los Angeles because he can’t be bothered with airhead actresses.
He’s a top lad Rupe, the best actor in the Harry Potter films – and I like the cut of his jib with his latest thoughts on Tinsel Town.
He is worried about investing in a US pad like co-star Daniel Radcliffe because he can’t face bumping into the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
Rupert, who plays Ron Weasley in the wizard movies, said: “I met Lindsay last summer and she talked about herself a lot. She said she was going to win an Oscar before she turns 25. I just kept thinking, ‘But you can’t act’.”
The young actor is pleased he is yet to cross paths with hotel heirhead Paris, adding: “I haven’t met Paris and don’t want to either. She and Lindsay are the type of girls you need to stay away from.”
Rupe is filming Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince and is having to shoot long kissing scenes with Jessie Cave, who plays Lavender Brown.
He revealed: “It took almost a whole day to do. It was hard to concentrate when Emma Watson (Hermione Granger, Ron’s other love interest in the film) was glaring at me even though it was part of the scene. It felt like she was plotting my death every time Lavender came at me. It was all very intense but a lot of fun too.”
Hard life being a wizard.
Actors working on the sixth Harry Potter film, The Half-Blood Prince, believe it is cursed after being plagued by a series of mishaps.
In the latest incident, on Wednesday, shooting was axed when the set was battered by storms. Daniel Radcliffe, 18, who stars as the boy wizard, has received death threats from a stalker.
And filming at Farnham, Surrey, has been halted by streakers and mistakes involving special-effects fog. An insider said: “Actors are feeling the movie is jinxed.
“As this is the sixth Harry Potter film, dark forces are at work to prevent us finishing.”
Four ex-SAS bodyguards are protecting Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe after receiving a death threat from a stalker.
Worried movie bosses have assigned heartthrob Daniel, 18, the security. He switched cars three times on Saturday night during filming of the sixth movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And his regular driver — used by the star for seven years and considered “part of the family” — has been temporarily stood down.
The nature of the threat, received via Warner Bros, is unclear. But a security source said bosses are treating it seriously and ordered his protection at all times on set and to and from shoots.
The insider added: “There is a real concern for Daniel’s welfare. The bigwigs haven’t said what has been going on. It’s all hush-hush — but security has been massively ramped up.”
Young and up coming actor Daniel whose already the toast of the world by staring in the Harry Potter Series since it started in 2000 has further enhanced his image as the Magician by signing a $50m deal to star in the final two Harry Potter Films. He will be paid $25 million to shoot penultimate book ‘Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince’, and the same amount for the of JK Rowling’s Potter finale, The Deathly Hallows. The money’s also a nod to the fact that the studio can not do the next Harry Potters without him. So Daniel is getting richer and soon might be the richest under 20 star in the world. Plus, surely that’s not the end of his earnings, He could as well earn millions from endorsements and if he had a deal for a part in the merchandise proceeds for the sale of Harry Potter things then there going to be a lot of wealth that he could accumulate in a short time.
Fans are getting ready for the premiere of the fifth Harry Potter film, The Order of the Phoenix, which is about to take place in Tokyo. The UK premiere of the film will be held in London on 3 July. Harry Potter, the movie has enthralled audiences all over the world with the wizardry and the great scripts it has. Daniel Radcliffe, who has played the boy wizard since 2001, was met by dozens of fans at Tokyo airport when he flew in. In the movie, Harry experiences his first kiss, with schoolmate Cho Chang, played by actress Katie Leung. Radcliffe has admitted kissing on screen was nothing in comparison to stripping off on stage, as he did in the West End play Equus. Daniel has grown into a smart looking young man and stripping off would certainly created a stir amongst his female fans. Kissing would have come naturally to him. It’s the last of the movie series and certainly should be the best till date.
