Harry Potter star gets naked


Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will go from riding a broomstick to riding a horse naked in his London stage debut, according to media reports Wednesday.

The 17-year-old actor is set to play stable boy Alan Strang in award-winning playwright Peter Shaffer's controversial play "Equus."

"This is an extraordinary play," Radcliffe's publicist Vanessa Davies said, "and, yes, there is a scene of nudity in it, but that's not what the play is about."

Pictures of a shirtless Daniel Radcliffe that are being used to promote his new play are causing controversy among fans of the "Harry Potter" movies.

The young star peels off clothes in the promotional photos for "Equus." He reportedly will also appear naked and have a sex scene in the play.

The pictures have already become popular among young female fans of Daniel Radcliffe.

But parents are up in arms and are bombarding "Harry Potter" fansites with emails.

The play opens in London on Feb. 27.
