I’ve always been a bit confused by Daniel Radcliffe. He’s obviously a chill bro who’s pretty comfortable with himself – or so it seems – and yet he continues to insist that he’s not gay, which rings… untrue to me. I’m not here to out anyone or tell someone how to identify themselves sexually, just saying that he’s always struck me as a lover of The D, so my brain goes a little haywire thinking about him with a lady. For someone so straight, he sure talks about (not) being gay a lot, though. And also, he needed “step-by-step” instructions from Kill Your Darlings director John Krokidas when shooting a gay sex scene as Allen Ginsberg in the film. Okay, let’s go with that:
“I was doing a gay sex scene and the director was giving step-by-step instructions. And the favorite note I have ever had was when we were kissing and the director shouted, ‘Not like that. Crazy sex kissing!’
“I spent ten years in a kids’ franchise and that was definitely a moment of, ‘Yes, I think I’m moving on‘.”
Well, listen, unless you stay in the genre of children’s book adaptations, I assume you won’t be “expecto patronum”-ing your way through the rest of your film career. Plus, you did Equus on Broadway and got your ding dong out for the world to see, so I doubt this is all that new.
Anyhoo, Kill Your Darlings makes me want to kill my eyesballs – I have zero interest whatsoever in seeing it and I feel like this project has been in the works for 800 years. Will it ever come out? Will anyone care?
I’m pretty sure it is new to him since pretending to be in love with a horse is different than pretending to be in love with a dude.
I’m really sad that just because he’s an actor who spends a decent amount of time on Broadway and who happens to be very pro gay rights people just assume he must be in the closet. My father is gay and I didn’t know for many, many years so thinking you can just “peg” someone as gay by what they say to media and how you interpret their interviews is a pretty idiotic thing to say. I hate that so many men who are forward thinking about gay rights and equality can’t do it and just be a nice, straight dude.
Don’t you think if her were gay, with as much as he’s talked about rights and equality that he would just say it?
Agree. My brother and I are extremely egalitarian, but he seems to bear the brunt. Apparently if you’re a male and support equality, you dig penises.
I’m pretty sure directors are supposed to direct every scene in their movie, whether or not the actors think they need it.
wow chill, you are such a hater
