Daniel Radcliffe Says Nudity Prepared Him for On-Screen Kiss, Ibiza Beaches
June 26, 2007
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe prepared for his first on-screen kiss... by, of course, getting naked on the stage.
The 17-year-old actor insists his role in Equus on London’s West End stage armed him with the courage to smooch co-star Katie Leung in the latest installment of the oh-so-lucrative wizard franchise.
Daniel says, "Once you’ve been on-stage naked in front of 1,000 people, you really feel you can do most anything without inhibition. Being naked was possibly not as complicated as kissing -- although belt buckles can give everybody a bit of trouble at times -- but kissing Katie was a very comfortable experience, especially when compared to being naked on-stage."
Holy Candy sources say it made Katie uncomfortable, however, when Daniel confused his two roles and wanted to "get into character" by stripping down for the kiss.

LOL!! Good one, pb!! I love Daniel.
I am so disappointed that Harry showed us his magic wand. It's going to be hard to see the new Harry Potter movie and not think of it.
he's only 17 and getting naked on stage? i bet michael jackson was the first in line for tickets.
