FROM POTTER TO POET SOPHIE HERDMAN / PRESS ASSOCIATION / THE INTERVIEW PEOPLE 08
From Potter to Poet He may have hung up his wizard’s cloak, but when it comes to landing roles, Daniel Radcliffe still has the magic touch. The young star tells us about stripping down, bulking up and proving the critics wrong. There’s little that we don’t know about Daniel Radcliffe. We know about his love life, his childhood, his vices (he smokes but doesn’t drink) - we even know, thanks to a controversial performance in Equus, the size of his todger. So it’s surprising when you stumble upon a piece of information about the former child star that you hadn’t already heard – like the fact that, aged 17, he tried his hand at poetry. A quartet of his works, which tackled topics such as indelity, prostitutes and Pop Idol, appeared in Rubbish magazine in 2007 under the pseudonym Jacob Gershon. “I mean why would you bother with divorce?/It’s so much easier to slip away/ And put a week aside so you can play”, reads one particularly anti-Potter poem. And six years later, the verse-loving star nds himself playing one of the most famous poets of all time, Beat Generation writer Allen Ginsberg, in new lm Kill Your Darlings. “I hate any kind of prejudice or injustice” So what would Ginsberg have thought of Radcliffe’s rhymes? “He would have hated them”, says the actor, laughing. “Well, he probably would have said, ‘Well done for being a 17-year-old writing poetry’. But he wouldn’t have liked it, because it’s far too rhyming and conformist.” That’s not the only pastime of Radcliffe’s the late poet would have struggled to appreciate. The 24-year-old, who today looks smart in matching navy blue trousers, shoes and jumper, admits that while lming, he and co-star Dane DeHaan spent their spare time playing Fantasy Football. “I’m not sure if Ginsberg would have been in our league if he was alive today,” he says. “But we’d have invited him for sure.” It wasn’t all fun and games, of course. Playing such a prominent character’s no easy task – Ginsberg was a leading gure of the counter-culture, opposing materialism and writing explicitly about homosexuality at a time when it was still illegal. As someone who speaks out about homophobia and supports a number of charities, including The Trevor Project, which focuses on suicide prevention for young homosexual people, Radcliffe was well-suited for the part. The actor reveals that many of his parents’ friends are gay - his father was a literary agent, his mother a casting agent - so sexuality’s never been an issue for him. “I hate any kind of prejudice or injustice, we all do, so if I can 09
