Daniel Radcliffe began his career as a known name and face, as he was part of one of the most renowned franchises in the world, Harry Potter. The portrayal of a young wizard won the hearts of audiences worldwide, making him an instant star, and his star power could rival many renowned actors in the movie industry. As a result, everyone in the industry wanted to work with the young actor, and he went on to star in a plethora of movies that people had never heard of.
However, Daniel Radcliffe started to feel frustrated, as every movie that he was a part of was not mainstream but majorly because the films had a lot of nude scenes in them. And, the Guns Akimbo actor was still not over the Harry Potter films where nudity was not a major part of the story.
Daniel Radcliffe Is Unhappy With The Amount of Nudity In His Movies
During an exclusive interview with Guardian, Daniel Radcliffe stated how he was starting to get frustrated with the movies he is working in. Because in a series of movies, that he has been a part of nudity has played a major role. Even though he has been trying to find a decent film, his efforts have not bore fruit.
“No, I’ve got to get a sustained series of jobs where I don’t have to get naked. But I haven’t hit one of them yet, for some reason. There was that first few years of my career when I was just doing Potter where there wasn’t a huge amount of nudity.”
“But since then it’s been almost every job. Recently I had my gay s*x scene in Kill Your Darlings, a skinny-dipping scene in The F Word, and a straight s*x scene in Horns. It’s just been a year of it.”
While this can be funny to some people, Radcliffe has a good logic because ever since the Harry Potter films came to an end. Following the success of the fantasy franchise, Radcliffe has tried to take on roles distinct roles to establish himself as a method actor. Despite the effort, the Swiss Army Man actor was part of a plethora of films where he had to present his body for the roles.
Daniel Radcliffe Has Distanced Himself From The Harry Potter Franchise
The Harry Potter franchise took a decade to finish, and it is only natural that the cast members get very close during this tenure. The bonding experience is something very few actors can relate to, and during a decade the cast mates become your closest friends. Such was the case for the Harry Potter cast, and to make their experience more memorable, they decided to get matching tattoos. However, Daniel Radcliffe could not commit to the idea.
During an exclusive interview with The Mirror, Rupert Grint stated how Radcliffe could not commit to the idea of getting a memorable Harry Potter tattoo on his body, as he wanted to distance himself from the franchise and how he thinks of his body as an empty canvas.
“There was talk between us about doing something like a tattoo. It would have been something subtle like Harry’s lightning scar. It would’ve been a great way of marking the end of filming.”
While the dreams of a matching tattoo had died, even a small tattoo on Radcliffe’s body was too big of a commitment for him. And it looks like it will stay like this for a long time, as the Jungle actor does not intend to get inked ever.
The Harry Potter film series can be streamed on Max.
