Q Interview with Daniel Radcliffe

[percival]

In this interview, they asked him questions sent in by readers. Some nice tid-bits under the cut


Q: What are Harry Potter groupies like? Are there a lot of older women that want to mother you?

A: I wouldn't say mother [laughts]. Harry Potter groupies ... I wouldn't call them that, really, because they're really sweet and a lot of them are quite innicent and very young. I don't really have groupies, per se.

If Harry Potter died, what song would you like to be played at his funeral?

These Days by Nico.

Did you have to warm up "Little Daniel" a but before going onstage naked for the first time in Equus?

Well, this is the thing. Because I'm on stage the whole time, you can't, as my friend put it, "get some blood into it". So no, you have to go there and cope wih everything going very shy in front of 950 people. After the first two shows you just don't care any more, which is a weird thing. Joanna Christie [Equus co-star], who plays Jill, she's naked as well, so I have something to distract myself with at least, because she is very beautiful. Was there ever any unexpected excitement? No, not at all. A mate asked me, "Did you grow during rehearsals?" I said, "Well, I came on in a certain way but I think the acting will grow more during the process." He said, "No, I meant did you get an erection?" Oh! Well, no.

If they did a porn rip-off of Harry Potter, what do you think it would be called?

Probably something unoriginal like Harry Porno. The Philosopher's Bone? Very good. Harry Potter and the Secret Chamber, perhaps. [Comes out with a filthier suggestion but insists it remain off the record.] My friend says there's a German one. He might just be lying, but he said I was played by someone with a massive handlebar moustache.



Now that should be enough for you to sink your teeth into, ladies. Not naming names, here ;)

OMG those are fantastic questions and answers. You forget that he's a young man now...I remember when they cast him, and how cute and wee he was. Man, I feel old. :)
