ok i found it in the baltimore sun yay me i found it online if you want to read the articles in better formats here http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/custom/live/bal-li.mixqa20sep20,0,3565719.storyDaniel Radcliffe plays an orphan once again in the new movie December Boys -- but this time, the Harry Potter star doesn't have any magical powers to help him navigate his adolescent angst.
In the coming-of-age drama, set in 1960s Australia, Radcliffe plays the oldest of four boys at an orphanage who get to spend their Christmas holiday at the beach. The younger ones compete to be adopted by the families they meet, while Radcliffe's character falls hard for a pretty (and very assertive) local girl, with whom he shares cigarettes and his first sexual encounter.
It's the latest opportunity for the actor, who just turned 18, to show he's capable of much more than the iconic role of Harry Potter, which has inspired teen girls to sob, flail and faint in his presence. (The fifth installment in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, has grossed more than $288 million domestically this summer.)
Last year, he did a hilariously deadpan send-up of his wholesome boy-wizard image on the Ricky Gervais comedy Extras. And this year, he famously appeared naked on the London stage -- and earned rave reviews -- as a disturbed stable boy in Equus, which he plans to reprise on Broadway next fall.
So what's all this about you doing Equus on Broadway?
Yeah, absolutely, hopefully. It's not absolutely certain yet, as nothing ever is, but yeah, that's definitely the plan.
A lot of scrutiny already for you in this role in London -- New York audiences are very discerning, as well. What's that going to be like?
I'm going to be pretty nervous about it, of course, but it should be fun. And [co-star] Richard Griffiths has done Broadway before. He was the king of Broadway for a while when he won the Tony for The History Boys, so I couldn't be with better people.
You knew that you wanted to be an actor when you were very young, right?
Not really -- I only properly decided that I wanted to do it when I was like 13, 14, when I was on Harry Potter 3.
Really? So you were just messing around for the first couple of Harry Potters, this role that everybody in the world would have wanted?
I wasn't thinking, "Oh, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life." But it was on Harry Potter 3 that I started to think like that.
What happened with that one that something clicked inside of you?
I think working with Gary Oldman was pretty inspirational. Working with him for the first time was pretty amazing for me -- that's whose career I love.
What advice did he have for you?
He'd never patronize me enough to give me advice. That's a horrible thing to do unless you're really, really close to somebody. Me and Gary get on very well, we're quite close, he just isn't the type of guy to do that. You just learn from watching him.
I've read that you haven't felt comfortable watching yourself on screen; is that still true?
I still don't like it. No, I don't think any actor does, really. I enjoy the movies, I like watching them, I just don't like watching myself particularly.
But don't you feel like you've gotten better in each one?
Yeah, absolutely. Oh yeah, no question. But, you know, there's a long way to go.
Do you think you understand the insanity of the Harry Potter phenomenon any better today than at the beginning?
Not at all. I think it's almost impossible to fully comprehend. When you're in the middle of something, you can't see how far it stretches. And that's sort of my position on it. I met someone the other day who said, "You're really big in Kuwait."
I like.
Mines not Harry Potter. -Gasp-
But it's still pretty. hehe.
I saved it to my favorites. I have to go to bed, but I'll watch it tomorrow.
Byee.
