He looked great on the red carpet – definitely growing up. Although he still gives a little too much in his interviews. LOL.

Here there is a video of the interview at the red carpet: youtube.com/watch?v=Uu2sdAScIPY

Dan is gorgeous, and Richard looks thinner and happy. :) Marypao, he doesn’t give too much, what happens is that others give too little. ;) Dan just talked about Equus and the Broadway plays he wants to see. It was very funny because when the reporter was interviewing Laura Linney, she was just looking at Dan and she kind of ignored the interviewed at the beginning. :D

Dan and Richard are sitting in the front row, so everytime someone win an award we can see them! Loved his smile after the Lion King performance! Thanks marypao, but I think that pic is from one HP premiere. :) Whoopi is wearing a very strange…thing…???

My friend and I were at Radio City earlier to see if we could see Daniel & Richard Griffiths – and we did! The last time I saw Dan was for the premiere of Prisoner of Azkaban. He took two steps toward the crowd, a terrified smile frozen on his face, and then slowly backed away. We thought, ‘poor thing!’

This time though, he jumped right out of his SUV and went straight to us plebes to shake hands (or something – he went the opposite direction from where we were standing! LOL!) What a difference. Dan is so much more at ease. Very cool. _

I was wondering why his shirt and tie were different. :) Strange that the Tony web people would include that with their other photos taken today.

Ouch! Lose the haircut, Dan.

That’s great gaminette! I watched the livestream video on Tonys site, there was so much people there! He certainly looked more mature!

The camera loves this boy! Everytime someone performs they show us a wonderful shot of Daniel. And they keep announcing him, I don’t know how many times they have already said his time… but I guess they are keeping him to the end.

I went down to Radio City, as well. it’s great to hear the screams for him. He stopped to sign for a few people which was great. :)

He looked fine on video. It’s just the stills that his hair looks too short.

Dan and Richard were just on to present the award for Best Play. They were soon lost in the crowd from the winning play.

Bea – when I said that “Dan gives too much” in his interview I was referring to his comment about going to see “Sunday in the Park with George” this coming Wednesday. Although he didn’t say if he was attending the mattinee or the evening show (probably evening show) I would be surprised if there weren’t a bunch of fans waiting for him.

wow They presented Best Play!!! That’s a big honor!! They did great. Dan has such a beutiful face, and he is taller. In the Equus pics the height difference between them was bigger.

-marypao, I imagined you were referring to that. :) But I don’t think it’s big deal, Dan has a lot of experience dealing with huge crowds of fans! He helped doing pulicity for that play, which is a very generous thing. Think about all the tickets they will sell for that day! ;)
