Daniel Radcliffe has hit out at American audiences who talk through his performance in Equus.
The Harry Potter actor said that he wants to eject theatre-goers who interrupt his Broadway play.
"I would like to initiate an initiative, the Broadway Annoying Audience Member Relocation Programme, so we can lose the people whose phones ring more than three times, that have the kind of throat condition which causes them to cough like they have consumption, those who take more than ten seconds to find whatever is in their plastic bag," the actor said on Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
He continued: "One night, I hear 'Dan, Dan, look up' for the entire first act of the play. It was these four girls trying to talk to me - you know who you are!"
The 19-year-old said that Equus producers were forced to change the name of one of the show's horses when it switched to the New York stage because it shared a name with a US condom brand.
He said: "One of the horses in the show was called Trojan. I say, 'What's his name?' and the answer is 'Trojan... and you can stroke him'. We went into the rehearsal room and I didn't feel that we could say that, because all the American tourists were laughing, so we decided to call the horse Hero."
