Daniel Radcliffe Talks about Gay Sex Scene in Movie 1
Daniel Radcliffe is starring as beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, a true-story about a 1944 murder that brought together Ginsberg, Kerouac, and Burroughs and the movie features Allen Ginsberg (Radcliffe) in a gay sex scene. Daniel has always been super supportive of the gay community and he gives a great answer. [From Extra and MTV]
Radcliffe has a particularly steamy sex scene in the John Krokidas-directed film that has everyone talking, especially after it premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
“It was something new,” Radcliffe told E! Online. “But you know what, we shot that whole scene in maybe an hour and a half, so it was incredibly fast-paced. I didn’t really have time to stop to think and worry about it.”
Radcliffe also spoke with MTV News about the scene, saying, “It’s interesting that it’s deemed shocking. For me, there’s something very strange about that because we see straight sex scenes all the time. We’ve seen gay sex scenes before. I don’t know why a gay sex scene should be any more shocking than a straight sex scene. Or both of them are equally un-shocking.”
“What weirded me out the most last night was people were asking me all these questions about the gay sex scenes. I was like, ‘You know I did ‘Equus?’ ” Radcliffe laughed. “Some people are asking me questions like this is a more shocking subject, which is so strange.”
Wow, he looks hot in this gif! Go away little random boy.

The really great thing about this was that bam!! no sooner is this film being publicised the Daily Mail printed a totally untransparent shrill story about DanRad being ‘seen’ passionately kissing some actress at Sundance or wherever. Usual anon witnesses blah blah….
Can you say paranoid! Seems times haven’t changed much at PR Towers!
