Harry Potter star
"Because I'm onstage the whole time, you can't, as my friend put it, Get some blood into it. So no, you have to go there and cope with everything going very shy in front of 950 people. Joanna Christie [Equus co-star], she's naked as well, so I have something to distract myself with at least. Was there ever any unexpected excitement? No, not at all."
In a revealing interview, the 17-year old goes on to field a series of cheeky questions from Q readers - though he refuses to be drawn on the vexed question of whether Pete Doherty is a "sad wanker"...
"I can't agree with that. I love the music. The crack and heroin thing, if that's what he wants to do... he probably doesn't want to. Well, maybe he does. I'm not going to pass judgement."
Later on Radcliffe admits that he occasionally answers to the name Harry, says he "doesn't care" if girls only want to go out with him because he's famous, and speculates on what a porno version of Harry Potter might be called.

I think that it's great that Daniel is growing up and expanding his carrer so I think the parents who are "concerned" should leave him alone, after all the Harry Potter saga is almost complete and if he loves acting then participating on Equus is a great way to expand his carrer, my only regret is that i can't see the play and congratulate him for his courage. Also, if he wants to smoke and date that's his problem so let him have a Life, after all it's not like millions of people in the world don't smoke including 14, 13, and even 12-year olds, so why can't him?

I think Daniel Radcliffe is amazing, but he is just a guy. I mean sure he's famous, but theres more to life. If u know what i mean. He has his own life, he does what he wants to do. We only know him as an actor, and what we see, but he is a human being with his own emotions, feelings, and life. He has a personal life, can we really judge him?? I mean, who really knows what he is like. So, yeah whats with all the stupid questions they ask him?? Idk, but hes just human, so idc, he is just a person like you and me, except, with tons of money, and great talent. I mean if i had all the money he does, i would donate a lot to people that really need it, because he will alweays have money.

A friend has just come back from New York where he saw Equus last week. He swears that during the part of the play where he was naked, Daniel had a full erection. Does anyone else know if this happened
