Radcliffe keen to take on gay roles
Daniel Radcliffe is keen to take on a gay role following his West End debut in Equus earlier this year.

The Harry Potter star said he feels ready to play a homosexual character after working up the courage to appear naked on stage.

He said: "I don't think it would particularly affect me. I mean, I'd never play a gay character just for the sake of playing a gay character.

"If the script was good and it was a good gay character, then that wouldn't bother me. Playing characters exploring their sexuality is a challenge.

"I'm 18 and so the parts I'm going to be given will be for characters around that age range when people are exploring their sexuality."
