Daniel 'Harry Potter' Radcliffe News

Daniel 'Harry Potter' Radcliffe's plan to appear naked on stage has angered parents the world over. Parents feel that as a role model for kids, the-boy-who-lived must carry his halo beyond the screen. Speak Up asks Mumbai parents if they're worried

What's the fuss about: Daniel Radcliffe will play Alan Strang, a mentally disturbed youth who blinds six horses with a metal spike. The role requires the actor to simulate sexual pleasure while riding naked on his horse.

He should've thought about his fans
I would not want my son to come across nude photographs of Daniel Radcliffe. He has sent out a wrong message to his fans. Harry Potter has a huge fan following, most of them kids, who get easily influenced.

He should have thought about them before appearing nude. I fully support parents in England who are protesting. If Shah Rukh was to do something like this, even we would boycott his movies. Kanan Gandhi. Matunga

Who are we to decide for him?
He has all the freedom in the world, so let him do what he wants. Besides, he is growing up and no one can stop him. I don't think we should make decisions for him. Let him decide for himself. It is his career, after all. Smita Thomas. Parel

Dan is being irresponsible
Daniel Radcliffe is identified everywhere as Harry Potter and kids around the world idolise him. He is a role model to them; whatever he does is emulated by kids. He should maintain a certain level of dignity because of that. Stars who become role models should not ignore their responsibility and act in a seemly manner at all times. Vaibhav Taimni. Tardeo

It's his choice, after all
I really don't mind if Daniel poses nude. He can do any role he wants if he has the confidence to carry it. Let's give him an opportunity. Harry Potter was a different film character altogether, so it doesn't really matter. Sakshi Teckchandani. Lokhandwala

This is intresting.. thxs! 😃
I feel dat its his choice. I mean if their children wud wanna see such type of things, then they will see of even other heros n dose who wudnt, wudnt even see him even if they r his biggest fans. So at the end of the day its ur children who decide. He has the right to do whatever he wants to.

I cant believe some people actually are making such a big deal out of it...he is an actor and has to grow as an actor...so if he has got an amazing challenging role to play...why does it bother other people? Some parents need to grow up more than their children I think.

Really very very intersting!

But it's his choice... I didn't know his choice was so bad man... I didn't expect it from him... no matter the cash... the class of the actor is lost in such cases... you lok at the person and say "what a good actor".... next thing u say "Oh yeah, the stripper"... there he goes...

We might say that it doesn't affect our thinking, but somewhere at the back of ur head, the level of respect for the guy drops.... I don't like this.... but still... it's his choice.... and his choice is BAD!

Please post in the "info for the day" if there is any next time... Leaving topic open though...

-Sam 😊

the nudity is a requirement for the character he is playing...he is not stripping for the hell of it

sam is so right!
i totally agree
it can be his choice all right... but at that position he has a responsibility and that is to act with dignity and not to send bad messages...

I agree that it is choice-but I also agree with Sam's point. Dan is a teen actor and he has a lot of factors to consider and it is my personal opinion that such a role is too mature for him. But agai it's his own choice after all..... 😕

Its his choice and he makes his own decisions. We can't really say anything on what he should do or not do but I do agree that he should have taken more responsibility of his star status before agreeing to such a role.
