Daniel Radcliffe: People might be slightly startled by gay sex scenes in Kill Your Darlings
Daniel Radcliffe thinks viewers may be “startled”, by gay sex scenes in the film Kill Your Darlings about poet Allen Ginsburg.
The Harry Potter star said he felt his career had gone the opposite way to what is normal for actors, and he said he was enjoying changing to smaller scale films.
Speaking to Total Film magazine, he said: “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.”
The 24-year-old went on to clarify, however, saying the films were not “graphic”, other than in their emotional content.
He added: “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.”
Ealier this week, the Daily Star reported that a source had confirmed that Daniel Radcliffe had been offered the part of Mercury in the biopic, but he has since spoken out to deny the rumours, admitting that he is “completely wrong” for the part.
