LONDON - Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he was unfazed by his on-screen kiss with co-star Bonnie Wright in the upcoming instalment of the wizard franchise because appearing naked on Broadway has left him “blase” about filming intimate scenes.
The 19-year-old disrobed onstage in New York and London’s West End for his role in Equus, in which he played a 17-year-old schoolboy who is obsessed with horses and the experience ensured Radcliffe was fully prepared for his big screen kiss in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, which hits movie theatres this month, reports imdb.com.
“By the time I made this film I’d done a nude scene on stage and a few kissing scenes, so I was totally blas, he said.
“Poor Bonnie was very nervous. I hadn’t factored that in. I’d taken it for granted that she’d be fine too. She’d never had to do that so I had to be calming with her and she did very well,” he added.
