Daniel Radcliffe says his steamy gay scenes in upcoming film 'Kill Your Darlings' are not shocking compared to what he did on his West End drama 'Equus'.
It is a big departure for Radcliffe, who is best known for playing boy wizard 'Harry Potter' in the movies based on J K Rawling's books.
The 24-year-old plays the late gay Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in the upcoming John Krokidas-directed drama, which centers Ginsberg's freshman year at Columbia University in 1943 when he first meets fellow aspiring writers Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan), Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and William S Burroughs (Ben Foster).

"I'm happy with the scene and how it's turned out," he said.
"There was full-frontal nudity. And I played a boy who had a sort of sexual-religious fascination with a horse. So the fact that this is getting more attention, it's kinda interesting. This is tame by comparison!," Radcliffe said of his role in the 2007 West End production 'Equus'.
