British actor Daniel Radcliffe’s most recent foray into stage acting has fans worldwide shouting, Holy Hogwarts…the boy wizard’s gone bare! The 17-year-old Harry Potter star is currently performing in a West End production of Equus, the notorious play by Peter Shaffer, in which his character (stable-boy Alan Strang) gets himself involved in a haystack tumble with co-star Joanna Christie, sans knickers. But teenage girls aren't the only ones singing the brazen actor's praises.

Equus' producer David Pugh revealed director Thea Sharrock had been among the first to comment on the film star's physique.

He explained: "We had never seen him with clothes off before. We all went, 'wow'. Thea went, 'Oh my God.'"

And Pugh added the confidence in his appearance extended to a belief in his acting ability, as Radcliffe looks to escape the typecast of a bespectacled wizard.

"With the performances that I've witnessed, when that boy takes his shirt off, Harry Potter has flown out of Hogwarts for good," he said.


Parents of Potter fans, however, are in an uproar about Radcliffe’s nude scenes and have flooded the production company with emails protesting the play’s all-ages policy despite its adult content.

One said: 'We as parents feel Daniel should not appear nude. Our nine-year-old son looks up to him as a role model. We are very disappointed and will avoid the future movies he makes.'

Another wrote: 'I am curious as to how and why his parents said this was okay.'


Despite the naysayers intent on quelling Radcliffe’s stage-stud role, advance sales for Equus (which opens February 27) have already topped £1million.

Goddamn not with the Potter-gone-wild bit again!

Parents, you had to get naked and fornicate to get those little HP fans in this world, so fuck off with your "OMG he's gonna be naked!" bullshit. Dan Radcliffe's an actor, not a muppet, so he can do whatever he wants.

If he wants to show off his wand outside of Hogwarts, so be it.

Good role models are never ever naked. They do not masturbate, have sex or have any vices. First we read about his being nude onstage, next thing you know he'll be naked when he showers or bathes. My penis is only ever exposed when I briefly change my own diapers in a darkened room because I understand the harm it can cause.

1. The kid's brave--
2. I applaud him...
3. Even my three year old knows that Harry Potter is played by an actor/ fictional character... parent's whose children use Mr. Potter's role player as a role model have bigger problems on their hands than his imminent nudity...
4. Give your kids a real hero!

So underage nudity is legal on stage? What is the deal, anyway? In what forms of art are 17-year-olds allowed to be nude and feign sex-making? surreal

Isn't one of the little girl starlets getting put into a movie naked? I remember reading something about some underage kid getting pushed into a movie where she had nudity by her mom.

equus is a play about growing up, right? and nakedness is about baring your insides on the outside, right? and a good actor puts everything he has into his role, right, short of real violence? so this is about putting everything you got into the role of growing up?

(this is me trying to be a public interviewer)

All of them. Underage nudity has never been rare in movies, and I'd expect stage plays to be even more permissive given their stronger assumed "artiness".

And Vestril is probably thinking of Dakota Fanning, but I hadn't heard anything about her mother pushing her into the role.

Fanning won't be naked. That would be just...weird. Apparently we'll just see flashes of her legs in lightning. I must say she was cast wrong in that movie, because she's already the masturbatory fantasy of countless perverts...pretty soon we'll hear stories of men jerking off in the back row at Dakota Fanning's rape scene. Disgusting, but probably true.

In any case, look at those abs.
