In a new interview with The Telegraph Daniel Radcliffe talks about his role as Igor in Frankenstein. In their quick interview he talks about his longer hair for the film:
“I don’t mind how it looks but I mind dealing with it. I don’t know why any man would have it voluntarily,” he laughed. “The amount of work it takes, having to dry it – doing anything to it is a f—— nightmare. I do have a whole new sympathy for women. I wouldn’t be growing my hair this long in my own time.” He added: “I actually don’t mind it because there’s something really fun about looking totally different and seeing yourself that way. But it’s not a permanent change.”
Of his win at the What’sOnStage Awards he said:
He told the Telegraph: “It’s very lovely to win. We were blessed with amazing audience the whole way through the run. It’s also kind of crazy to me to be nominated against James and Ben. Watching them was very formative in my experience of theatre – Ben in Hamlet, James in loads of things but particularly Privates on Parade. They were just amazing so to be in a category alongside them is just surreal.”
He also talks about The Cripple of Inishmaan:
“I had a meeting with Michael about wanting to do a play in London. He gave me five plays to read, one of which was Cripple of Inishmaan, and immediately I knew I wanted to be part of it,” Radcliffe said. “It was a real luxury, a dream position as an actor.”
The Cripple of Inishmaan is a departure from his previous work. “It’s a darker comedy than I’ve ever done before. It’s breahtakingly cruel at times and that’s one of the things that’s so exciting about it and gets audiences so vocal. They’re shocked a lot of the time. I just think it’s a beautifully written play and I’m excited about taking it to Broadway.”
