Daniel Radcliffe: "It's awesome that people think I'm gay" - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

**Chip** · 17th Jul 2009, 01:21 PM

Just read this article.

Does anyone besides me think this is a non-denial denial? He never says that he *isn't* gay, and says something about keeping people guessing...

I dunno if anyone read any of the older interviews with Adamo Ruggiero ("Marco" from DeGrassi) when his character first "came out", but he was similarly evasive. As far as I'm concerned, the point at which he "outed" himself was in some interview in his home where he was showing his room, and his collection of 70 pairs of shoes... how many straight guys have 70 pairs of shoes?

Adamo later said that what the character was experiencing mirrored very closely his own process of coming to terms with himself, coming out to his own family, etc.

In any case, I thought it was interesting, and certainly cool that Daniel is so comfortable with publicly talking about people thinking he's gay (whether he is or not.)

Hehe, yeah, I love Dan Radcliffe's comments about the gay rumours. He seems like a very fun, relaxed, enlightened guy. I don't think he is gay, because I think he's the kind of guy who would come out about it if he was, but he does sound like the kind of guy who'd be open to it, and just be very relaxed about it all. Like Jake Gylenhaal, who said he found the gay rumours after Brokeback Mountain very flattering and although he doesn't consider himself gay, he'd be open to a relationship with a man.

I read this like in the minute it came out thanks to the lovely Amy...

And I just think is AWESOME that he thinks is awesome that ppl think that. It'd be like great if he was, but irdc.

RainbowJay · 17th Jul 2009, 07:48 PM

it's even funnier that Tom Felton had a less laid back reaction :P
I think he might've been a bit freaked out when he heard that people write erotic slash fic between his character: Draco and Daniel's: Harry

it's all in good fun XD

yayy, you go Dan Rad

:3 Daniel Radcliffe has kissed Rove McManus, a show host down here during the ad break of his show. This is utterly hilarious. Video isn't that great, but it's a behind-the-scenes video so what do you expect? XD

+ YouTube Video

Well, according to Wikipedia, he said:
"You know it's flattering when there's a rumor that says I'm bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I'm open to whatever people want to call me. I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened."

OMG I love Daniel Radcliffe so much and this makes me love him even more! That's so awesome. btw, I saw him in Equus on Broadway. He was fantastic...and completely naked. But seriously, he did a great job naked or not.

Just Adam · 18th Jul 2009, 02:50 AM

ive noticed as the potter films progressed his acting has gotten alot better and improved the most out of the 3. peopel were allways worried abotu him beeing typecast as harry potter but i think he will have a problem people will know him as harry potter an want to see his future performancesXD...i think he wouldent say no to a guy if he met the right one and somthign clicked hes seems very relaxed and open minded....

what i like about him his how hes broke away from the child star thing of beeing under and controled by the family...hes now his own man and thats great XD
