The world knows him as boy wizard Harry Potter. Now, Daniel Radcliffe wants the world to see him differently.
Next summer, the 17-year-old will take to a London stage in the Tony Award-winning drama "Equus" and will perform nude during one scene, according Newsweek magazine in editions that will hit newsstands Monday.
"Part of me wants to shake up people's perception of me, just shove me in a blender," he told the magazine in an exclusive interview on the set of the fifth Harry Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
"It's a really challenging play, and if I can pull it off we don't know if I can yet I hope people will stop and think, 'Maybe he can do something other than Harry,'" he said.
In "Equus," Radcliffe will play a "troubled young man with a religious-erotic obsession with horses," the magazine reported.
Radcliffe was discovered seven years ago in the audience of a London theater and is known for playing Potter in the blockbuster film series based on J.K. Rowling's books.
I hope that's fake. I know he's not necessarily going to be like Harry but there's no need to go that extreme to show you can do different things, plus he'll only be 18...
NUDE? I hope that is a joke, That makes me sick. If you have seen him shirtless before you would see that is the worst thing you have EVER seen in your life.

I don't normally care for nudity in the movie as much. But to my opinion, as an actor, if anyone has a gut to do so. I give em credit for trying. Like Ewan McGregor, one of my all time favoriate actor.
That guy's a f***tard. and btw, in the movies, Ron likes Harry a BIT much
