The 17-year-old actor Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has defended his decision to appear naked on the London stage. He is making his West End debut and has a nude scene in Equus and said that the iconic play would be rubbish if he didn’t bare all. Radcliffe, who confessed that he hit the gym to tone up for the revealing role in the play staged recently in Britain, insists he has no problem stripping for a role on stage if it helps his performance.
One of the publicity photos for the play shows a topless and buffed Radcliffe being hugged by a naked woman. Another shows him leaning against bales of hay as he stares up at the topless woman. A third has him posing in front of a white horse.

He says, “I’m fine about it. Equus is an iconic play. The nude scene is part of it. I can’t do it with my pants on. That would be rubbish. We’ve done the scene a couple of times in rehearsal. I had no particular qualms. There’s nothing that would stop me getting my kit off if that’s what the work demands.
“The key to serious acting is to lose your inhibitions, to become free and fearless. I feel OK about my body. Not totally, of course, but no one my age does…but I’ve gone to the gym to make sure. And many of the actors I admire, like Gary Oldman, have gone naked.”
