The November issue of American men’s style magazine GQ, features a brief, yet detailed question and answer interview with Harry Potter actor Dan Radcliffe. In the interview, which you can read in its entirety here thanks to our Order partner DanRadcliffe.com, Dan discusses his upcoming ITV1 film, “My Boy Jack,” his experiences with Richard Griffiths during the production of “Equus” and much more.
Here are a few snippets from the Q&A:
In your new film, My Boy Jack, you play a WW1 soldier. How were the trenches?
“Exhilarating. Conditions were tough; there were mud, rats and we were soaked by rain machines. It was Glastonbury all over again – but with guns.”
What TV do you enjoy?
“The American version of The Office is fantastic. The one relationship that’s not so strong is [their version of] Gareth and Tim. The guy playing Martin Freeman [Tim] character is good looking and looks like he wouldn’t get as frustrated.”
Do you consider yourself a role model?
“It’s a gray area. I wouldn’t like to put myself on that pedestal. I consider Harry a great role model though – it’s good to see speccy heroes are in.”
Dan’s film, “My Boy Jack,” is slated to air on ITV1 in the UK November 11th.
Many thanks to our Order partner DanRadcliffe.com!
I agree with KB Prez. He’s a great role model for all the young, aspiring actors and actresses, out there! How to do a fantastic job, and still remain “in touch” with the world, around you. Also, being kind, humorous and candid, in a way few too many celebrities are, now days!
Go, Dan!
Good! Someone has their act together.
They are airing it on what those of us in the US call Veteran’s Day. To thhe rest of the world it is Armistice Day, the day World War I ended.
I do hope it is planning and not serendipity. ;)
‘The guy playing Martin Freeman [Tim] character is good looking’
Is it just me or is Dan always talking about gayness lately? Of all things he can say about any character in a show, he choose ‘good looking.’ What is wrong with him? 0o
kaitlyn, there is nothing wrong with him.
He is merely making an obvervation about a
character and probubly compariing
him to those in the British version of
The Office.Another series produced by
the wonderful team of Ricky Gervis and Steven Merchant who also make EXTRAS.They also see all the obsurdities in life and those around them.
And it is the media blowing out of proportion
and rehashing his original gay remark
which was possed to him by a “reporter” at
an interview.Who apparently needed to start
a lot of ridiculious referrences -out of context-the get attention for more
articules.
I am so glad to see Daniel has such a good sense of humor about all the BS and makes fun of it.
Some people really need a sense of the absurd
shot into them and to get a sense of humor.
I adore Dan Radcliffe. He is very bright AND very funny. And after all the attention he’s gotten, he’s still very humble!
WAY TO GO Dan!
