Daniel Radcliffe is Hairy Potter

Mon, 09 July 2007 at 1:30 pm

Boy wizard Daniel Radcliffe is the August 2007 cover star for Details Magazine. The grown-up Dirty Harry speaks about getting naked in his stage play and baring his butt for the entire world.

On attending school after the first Harry Potter film was released: “Some people did get very aggressive. People say it was just jealousy, but I don’t think it is jealousy. I think its just ‘We can have a crack at the kid that plays Harry Potter.’
On not attending college: “The paparazzi, they’d love it. And also if there were any parties going on, they’d be tipped off as to where they were, and it would be all of that stuff.”
On having never been to a nightclub: “All it takes is for me to be seen chatting up a girl for them to, you know, make up some crappy headline about me being a sex rat or whatever they call it.”
On office romances: “I think it would be very hard to go out with an actress, because they’re mad. Some actresses are just insane. I’ve never worked with a nasty actress – they’re all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.”
On the British media frenzy caused by his nude scene in the play Equus: “It’s that thing of being shocked that I should have hair – you know, anywhere else other than on my head. It’s not so much that they don’t want me to grow up. It’s that they’re annoyed that I’m growing up adjusted. They’d much rather I was growing up and going wild and crashing cars.”
On his estimated $33 million fortune: “Even when I was very young and before any of this had happened, I remember being repulsed by ostentatious displays of wealth. People who have car collections – I never understood that. I always thought that was unnecessary. It’s not beautiful, its not creative. Its just showing how much money you’ve got.”
On being naked on stage: “I’d be lying if I said I was completely fine. I was nervous and I was a little bit worried. But not meaning to drop a name, I talked to Gary Oldman about it, because we get on very well and I know he’s been naked onstage. And so I said to him, ‘What’s it like?’ and he said, ‘On the first night you’ll be terrified and on the second night you’ll be terrified and after that you won’t care.’ And that’s absolutely true. When you’ve done it twice, it doesn’t matter anymore.”

He looks totally ridiculous - like he’s trying to look tough and manly but failing miserably. I would tell him dont try so hard to change your image.

Andrea Smith Stone @ 07/09/2007 at 1:47 pm

Daniel Radcliffe seems very abnormal to me–like a pedophile. Something in the way he looks is really unnerving. I guess the whole quasi adult look did not transition so smoothly.

Cat @ 07/09/2007 at 1:49 pm

the cover picture looks hot, but he looks like he’s about to rape someone in the leather jacket.

Sarah @ 07/09/2007 at 1:50 pm

He’s ugly. Whats with all the attention. All the girls only like him because he’s worth millions!

He’s so not hot.
Ewwww.

Geez @ 07/09/2007 at 1:57 pm

I have Harry Potter fetish. I will do him.

# 10

sara @ 07/09/2007 at 2:00 pm

is it wrong for a 21 year old female to say that he looks hot?? well heck, even if its wrong.. I’d do him!

# 11

I'm Not Obsessed @ 07/09/2007 at 2:07 pm

He looks like a scary pervert!! LOL..

# 12

almost @ 07/09/2007 at 2:07 pm

He looks freakishly like elijah wood in those pictures. Maybe its the whole blue eyes dark hair scruffy beard combo.

# 13

Damn @ 07/09/2007 at 2:08 pm

That Harry potter is one strange looking mofo.

# 14

gr @ 07/09/2007 at 2:11 pm

he looks sooo scary. his tough guy act really isn’t working it just making him look creepy.

# 15

Ashley @ 07/09/2007 at 2:15 pm

I’m not feeling the facial hair.

# 16

H @ 07/09/2007 at 2:24 pm

that second pic w/ the red light. the way he’s standing/posing kinda reminded me of/resembled robert dinero in taxi.

# 17

Passing Through @ 07/09/2007 at 2:36 pm

Is there anything sadder than teenage boys trying to grow facial hair? Plus, he’s got those creepy Elijah Wood serial killer eyes…

shopgirl @ 07/09/2007 at 2:37 pm

I think the cover photo is amazing but, what I like best about Daniel is how down to earth he is.

# 20

louveciennes @ 07/09/2007 at 2:39 pm

Did they MEAN to make him look like a gay leatherdaddy?

# 21

Bliss @ 07/09/2007 at 2:40 pm

Perhaps we can look past the pictures and into the article. It looks like he has his head on straight, and is quite well spoken. Most of the Potter kids seem to be quite balanced, and smart. They could teach Brittany, Paris, and some other chicas a thing or two.

Thanks Jared!

yuhuu @ 07/09/2007 at 2:43 pm

You kids are so adorable. 8DD Hihi, I personally like all the pics. The last one with the leather-vest is a tad gay, but he looks hot in that pic aswell. I like my men with that look. ;))

# 23

ligaya @ 07/09/2007 at 2:47 pm

I’m with you, shopgirl. Where’s everybody getting the creepy-scary-pervert vibes from? I’m not obsessed with Daniel or HP, but I’m an HP fan, especially of the books.

I love Daniel’s answers - candid, fresh, honest (”barking,” heh). I’m so glad he’s turned out to be grounded and more than normal after all the HP frenzy. Rupert & Emma seem normal too. I’ll be glad for all of them after all 7 movies have been made, and they can do other things in their lives.

Oh my!!!!! he is so hot…

# 25

Naomi @ 07/09/2007 at 2:55 pm

#12: totally right, Elijah Wood look-a-like. and people are just disgusted ’cause he ain’t a pretty boy anymore (young, innocent) face it: HE’S A MAN (and a fuckable one also ^^)

# 26

Jill @ 07/09/2007 at 2:57 pm

Never seen the Harry Potter Movies. But I have to say Daniel looks pretty good looking.

He has piercing blue eyes.

Gia Jolie @ 07/09/2007 at 3:15 pm

He is so GORGEOUS, so don’t hate on him because he is handsome, and wealthy. And he sounds like a very nice, normal, down to earth guy. Ladies drool, and so do guys! Admit it! ;D

i love the p~ubic fluff on his chin

# 33

Shmoo @ 07/09/2007 at 4:00 pm

Wow. If Elijah Wood and my ex boyfriend had a love child and sprinkled it with gay dust it would look like that last picture.

That being said, when he’s not looking like a Macho, Macho Man he’s very well spoken and candid and I can dig that.

# 34

mickey @ 07/09/2007 at 4:13 pm

If only he really looked like that. Through the magic of technology, good lighting and ace photograpy he looks hot. In reality, he looks like pimply faced, dorky kid.

# 35

John Mirror @ 07/09/2007 at 4:26 pm

he looks ugly on that fourth photo, but anyway, still love him. not that i would ‘do’ him, but i just like him as a person. long live harry potter ;))

# 36

black @ 07/09/2007 at 4:45 pm

Wow———————————————————–!

He looks so gay in that leather west. He should have put on something under it.

As for the rest of the pictures, well…..I havn´t seen them close up yet…a bit strange yes….not really cool.

Except for the cover- that looks really cool- his best shot yet.

But I don´t really get him.

What does he want?
For the media not to bother him, or the people not to go crazy on him?

Then why the hell does he make tsuff like this?
He fears being seen with a girl but he´s constantly doing strange shoots (or nude plays…) which are expected to shock.

So just make up your mind boy.

Don´t rub it in our face.

And again I can only say, being naked does not make you a grown-up!

(but he sure as hell has been working out…)

Mrs. Fugly @ 07/09/2007 at 4:47 pm

Hee Hee! I’ll be his **********! He is one ******* sexy hot young dude! Damn hot! Least, he is not waxed. Waxed guys look more gay to me.

Or am I just insane.
He looks like he is trying to be a biker…and failing…miserabley.

# 57

dr @ 07/10/2007 at 6:10 pm

I can’t understand where a lot of you are coming from. I like the movies, but certainly never had any ‘thoughts’ about the actors. I never dreamed that the young Daniel would grow up into such an amazingly sexy man. All I can say is the guy I see in the pictures here is exactly my type - wow. He has turned into such a sexy man.
Maybe those of you who don’t find him attractive now just never wanted him to grow up.

spooky @ 07/11/2007 at 6:56 am

These pictures are super creepy………..He looks like a psycho

# 59

Cathy @ 07/11/2007 at 7:24 pm

This was my first time on this website, and after reading the comments, my last one because I have to say most of you are unnecessarily rude and above all else creeps. The comments about Dan’s phoyoshoot are immature and stupid and I’ll bet that those of you who called him a ‘pervert’ ‘rapist’ and other crude words obviously never read the article that came with the pictures, because myself being 19, I admit that Dan doesn’t have the whole Brad Pitt look going for him but his personality and intellect definitely score him a point with millions of fans worldwide. Everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, negative and positive but there’s a way of doing that, which obviously doesn’t apply to most of you.

Tenzin @ 07/17/2007 at 12:48 am

Wow…quite different from what I’ve ever seen him in. The one in the hat is amazing, almost a shot of someone being absoulutely dorky.Facial hair makes him seem like Elijah Wood, especially with those eyes. Trying to make an impression, eh? He does look like a big creep who stalks people but I love him still.

# 65

meg @ 07/17/2007 at 3:57 am

# 67

Jordan @ 07/20/2007 at 10:59 pm

Dude, personally, I like him. I think he’s an amazing actor, and I think he’s going to go places and do alot of things with his career. But all I want to say, the whole point of this comment, is that that leather vest, is a no. It’s just–it’s just–no.

# 73

scarlet @ 07/27/2007 at 10:32 pm

i think dan is mature..he is not like teens his age who are actors that have a bad reputations because he or she did this or that..dan knows what he wants and he is down to earth..it’s better him being naked on stage and acting rather going to wild parties or make stupid decision that can ruin his life.. dan keeps himself busy by doing what he loves..in pics he looks scary or weird bcoz of the lighting and background..he has nice eyes..girls don’t be discourage by these photos..
