Daniel Radcliffe had to wear padded underwear to protect his manhood while filming the latest Harry Potter movie. The 17-year-old actor also needed easy access stripper-style trousers for scenes in which the teenage wizard takes to the skies on his broomstick. Radcliffe said, "I had padded shorts under my trousers. I also had other trousers that must have belonged to the Chippendales because they've got Velcro that rips apart to get the harness on for flying, then sticks back together." The young star's assets were allowed much more freedom in his recent stint on the London stage in Equus. For his role as Alan Strang, who becomes erotically obsessed with a horse, Radcliffe had to bare all every night.

....thanx for the info yaar...hehe..


thats is funny 😕 ....hehe

i have noticed some of u guys not liking the fact that Dan did Equus 😕 ....which is fair enough...we all have our opinons 😃 😛 ....hehe

though personally....if we ignore for a moment that in Equus he had to come nude on the stage 😕 .....and look at the role the he was offered 😊 .....

his character was very intense 👏 😃 ..and very different from Harry 😆 .....he only tired to come out of the Harry Potter world...and try something different 😳 .......and i think that is good for him personally.....and people can see him, work in different roles 😃 😳 ...

Equus is a very popular and highly acclaimed play, 👏 which is very well known in the West End Theatres 😊 👏 .......

I thouhgt he made a good step forward to try something new 😃 ......even though they whole nude thing was random 😕 ...but it came with that play 😊 😆 ....

.....he is an actor at the end of the day 😉 ....and he will experiment 👏 😳 😃


sorry if i offended any one 😊 ....

Displeased is just the start of how I feel about Daniel acting in the film Equus. Many actors act in scenes that include nudity, to cover the fact that it is downright tacky they call it art or artistic. But I think the role Daniel had in the film was disgusting and the over all plot was a pointless story to be portrayed on screen. If the message was that there are perverted weirdos out there and beware of them, then I believe that was a good message.

Sorry for complaining so much, but I'm glad to hear that it is not just me who was greatly displeased in Daniel for that movie.

As for the article about shorts, I find that very interesting someone would interview Daniel about something personal like that. Harry Potter fans or Daniel Radcliffe fans would read the article because it was about him...not really the content. At least I hope not!

Dan has done a stage performance...it is not a film, but is a British West End Theatre Production 😉 ....it was the first time he acted on stage 👏 ....

....Hiya Lady Black 😊 ....

The concept of Equus was not something which was thought of recently...but was writen by a man called Peter Shaffer in 1973 👏 ......it is also regarded as an important part of English Litrature 👏 ......

I have many frends who have had to study this play...for there school work....wheather it was for a English lesson...of a Drama lesson......

i would like to roughly tell u wht the story is about:

"telling the story of a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological fascination with horses." i got this of the net 😆 .....

though i personally feel that....there are many people...in the world who might have issues or fasinations like this.......and are in need of help from psychiatrists......

it is about an individual person...who is fighting....with himself mentally.......therefore i think...Dan has been very clever to chose this intense role ......

they only thing people...found a problem was the nudity 🤢 😆 ....which frankly speaking so did i ....i did not think it was nessassary to have that 😕 ....

sorry ..if i have said to offend anyone...

Tink-

Knowing the full story, I realized what I said must not have made much sense! Thank you for the wonderful scope on the whole "Equus" thing. Your post probably cleared up many questions other Daniel fans had, because it sure did for me.

Thanks again!
