but I’d ride him:

So, Daniel Radcliffe is apparently doing Equus. There are nude sex scenes. Some people are upset by it–the disrobing of Harry Potter and all. I’m not upset about it, though.

Radcliffe’s spokesman Vanessa Davies said: ‘Daniel does not want to step away from Harry Potter but he does want to show he is an rounded [sic] actor capable of very different and diverse roles…’

Despite the fact that I adore Harry Potter and even Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, I think Ms. Davies may be overstating Daniel’s talents just a bit. He’s not all that great of an actor. He’s clunky as all hell. Okay, okay, okay, he was just a kid when he started (he’s arguably still a kid, I know…blah, blah, blah). But come on, is there anyone who really watches Harry Potter for Daniel Radcliffe’s acting?

I think not.

So why is he in Equus, or, better yet, why do people want to see him in Equus? It’s just my guess, but I’d say it’s because he’s Harry Potter. And that’s just fine by me, hairy nipples and all.

so deliciously close.
