Oh, and while we're talking about HP: Daniel Radcliffe, nude

[dianeduane]

Seriously. Via Blog of a Bookslut (hi, Jessa!):

Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry Potter, will appear nude in a London stage production of Equus.

Now playing: Elton John- Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (with George Michael)

AND THE FANGIRLS RUN AMOK!!!

*takes cover*

*ahem* Me, I'm old enough to be Daniel's *mother*. He's pretty, but I'll be mooning over Mr. Rickman. *g*

Yeah, I'm old enough to be Daniel's mum, too. But Alan Rickman's old enough to be my dad. So I guess I've no one in HP to legitimately go all sheep-eyed over.

Trying to break type, no doubt. I've read that play.

Let's see if it works.

I love that version of that song. The crowd goes WILD when Elton comes out!

[dduane.livejournal.com]

I know. It's a sweet moment.

Suggest you get your hands on the "Dream Ticket" DVD set (Amazon.co.uk: Elton John - Dream Ticket: Welcome: Elton John (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00061Q8KE/202-2837615-2262200?v=glance&n=283926&s=gateway&v=glance)) -- absolutely amazing performances of "Rocket Man" (also on YouTube: Elton John - Rocket Man (Ephesus) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvbqIDrgQhY&search=ephesus%20rocket%20man)) and "Nikita" on the Ephesus disk.

Also, since you may or may not actually like Pavarotti, here are the lyrics to a beautiful version of "Live Like Horses" that Elton and Pavarotti performed as a duet: Elton John Song Lyrics: Live Like Horses (http://www.eltonography.com/songs/live_like_horses.html). As far as I know this was only put out on a limited release CD single -- which I have, fortunately.

So do we finally find out the truth about the 13.2842 cm ?

*blinks* Oh dear.

The first on-stage nudity I ever saw was in a London production ofEquus. The actor was hot enough clothed, but that scene is so horrifically disturbing that the nudity hardly even registered. I'm actually fairly boggled at the thought of hordes of Harry Potter fangirls descending on this play.

P.

[dduane.livejournal.com]

You and me both.

How old is he?

[dduane.livejournal.com]

Just turned 17 some days ago, apparently.

[keristor.livejournal.com]

Born July 23, 1989 according to IMDB, so he's just 17 if my computer's arithmetic* is correct. This seems distinctly underage to me (better not take any pictures, that's illeegal if the person is under 18). I suspect that there would be a lot of fuss if Emma Watson (Hermione) did it (OK, she's 9 months younger now, but I mean at the same age).

* I'm a programmer, I can't do arithmetic. Anyway, the computer gets upset if I do it and starts muttering about demarkation and job satisfaction and going on strike...

Is Ladbroke's taking odds on how long it will take for pictures to turn up on the Internet? I'd like to put $10 on "during the performance".

I swear I can hear fans' heads exploding, just like popcorn... :)

Do be aware that in the US (and I think, the UK as well) nude pics of fiolks under 18 get really iffy. Due to the child pornography laws.

[trdsf.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know that. Didn't say I wanted 'em emailed to me.

[starkruzr.livejournal.com]

Pics of this are inevitably going to get out and start popping up like mad all over Harry/Draco slash.

Ugh. ::buries face in hands::

I'll definitely be keeping a very close watch on Fandom Wank once the play enters it's run...if it's restricted to over-18s due to the nudity, the over-excitable 14 year old fan girls are going to be howling about how unfair it is they aren't allowed in. If not, over-exictable-though-not-particularly mature fan girls of all ages might howl for being freaked out by the production and how dare Daniel be exploited like that. No doubt once the pictures inevitably do get out, wank will ensue from the pro-pictures group (he's public property and all ours!) and the anti-pictures group (our poor darling has been invade!) and...I'll stop there. I think I've been on the internet too long.
