Daniel Radcliffe's theatre debut was met with a standing ovation.
The Harry Potter star played the part of Alan Stang in the West End production of Equus.
The play tells the story of a stableboy who has an erotic relationship with the horses that he tends.
Among the sold out audience were actor Christian Slater, presenter Graham Norton and Sir Bob Geldof.
Slater told the BBC, "The work that Daniel did on stage was incredible, extraordinary. I take my hat off to him completely.
"I never though for one second I was looking at Daniel Radcliffe - I was watching Alan Strang.
"I'm remarkably impressed. I think he was brave, adventurous and courageous, he's a phenomenon and I would certainly love to work with him."
