Harry Potter Actor Taking It All Off On London Stage

[southcitymom]

I hate the title of the below article - pure spin - but it's interesting to hear Daniel's perspective on this choice of roles. He sounds like a normal, mature teenager. It's worth a read.

Well, I didn't think that was the case and thought he had mucked around with his other kids too, but maybe I'm wrong.

Mia Farrow accused him of molesting a younger daughter, but he denies it. I don't believe there was ever any proof.

I have idea what nudity has to do with "morality."

In my religion it does, It says to be clothed and modest but I never said it was a lack of morals since everyone has their own choices on their type of religion or no religion at all and their beliefs that go with it. Its just different than what I believe personally. He might change in what he feels is appropriate now versus later on in life or his views might stay the same. I know I changed my opinions on many different things. I am far from being the same person I was 10 years ago. I was focused on hopefully he wont regret it ,I was NOT being judgemental.

I probably misunderstood. I may not agree that premarital sex is immoral, but I understand the concept. But when people say somebody's short skirt is immoral, I get confused. FWIW, a lot of actors have played that part over the past 20+ years; I've never heard of any of them regretting it. But of course I can't predict the future.

As for Woody Allen, I completely understand what you are saying. As a stepparent myself, the incident completely creeped me out and I don't care that his step-daughter was barely of age. I used to be a fan, but I've don't look at him as an actor the same way any more.

It is ridiculous to say someone's short skirt is immoral,because it would depend on the person whose wearing it belief's. With me, I have regrets over a few things in my past. Thankfully no full proof is available to the public and on the internet and available through a quick search plus with boring old me not many would be interested, I often feel this way with others also since it can be a very life altering decision.

I understand. I worked in a college theater department for many years. Some of the students didn't care, but with the rise of digital photography and the internet, some cared very much that nude pictures of them didn't end up in public. I can certainly appreciate that. I certainly don't want nude pictures of myself floating around (though that is vanity, not modesty).

Nudity - to me - is morally neutral.

And the English are pretty casual about nudity in the theater and on film (as others have pointed out). I doubt Mr. Radcliffe will have cause for regrets.

BTW, for those who don't know the play, the nudity in Equus is very much a part of the story and character.

Daniel Radcliffe got excellent reviews in last night's first dress.

Good for him...Good. I am extremely happy that he did so well.

Bravo Daniel!
