Actor Dan Radcliffe is featured in UK gay magazine Attitude in the August issue. The BBC has an article online highlighting parts of this interview, including comments on homophobia and more. He also says:
“My dad was an agent and represented Jonathan Harvery who wrote Beautiful Thing so I grew up knowing Jonathan and his partner and it was just never an issue. Then when you get to that age at school and someone calls you a poof, and you go, “What?” You go, “Hold on, why is this word being used like this?” It suddenly became really weird for me to have people around me who were homophobic. It was a very strange, weird thing. I’ve always been around gay people.”
“I’m hopefully going to play Dan Eldon,the photojournalist who was stoned to death in Somalia. I’ve spoken with his mother and sister and met them. We need to make sure we get it right and do him real justice.”
