Daniel Radcliffe Amazed by Gay Sex Scene Shock

‘Harry Potter’ actor Daniel Radcliffe has been battling to shake off his child star image and his latest role does just that – he stars in the upcoming film ‘Kill Your Darlings’ and has filmed a gay sex scene for the role with costar Dane DeHann. Daniel read that one reviewer branded the scene as “graphic” and he admits that he is amazed that people are still shocked by sex on film. He commented on the scene:

”I f***ed a horse on stage when I was 17 but gay sex is more of a big deal! One of the reviews I saw very early on called the sex scene ‘graphic’. There’s nothing graphic about it. I mean, you see a bit of bum. It is just the fact that it’s sex, and it’s sex with a man, I guess. It’s amazing how shockable the world still is. And it’s Harry Potter.”

Speaking on taking on the smaller role despite already working on one of the biggest film franchises ever, Daniel says it was a whole new experience for him. He believes that while the sex scene isn’t graphic in his opinion, there is a very tender moment shared:

”I felt like I was breaking new ground. Most actors grow up doing a lot of small movies and then get something big, but I started on the biggest film in the world. So it’s an experience that I haven’t had. I’m sure some people will be slightly … err … startled by the gay sex scene though … It’s actually not graphic. You don’t actually see anything. What’s graphic is the emotion of the scene. It’s a very vulnerable, slightly afraid moment. It’s beautiful and tender as a consequence of that.”
