SEE VIDEO Daniel Radcliffe ready for gay romp

Actor to audition to play homosexual spy

Daniel Radcliffe is determined to shed his cute boy wizard image once and for all.

Not content with appearing on stage starkers as a troubled stableboy in Equus, he's now auditioning to play a homosexual spy.

The actor, who is currently filming the latest Harry Potter movie, wants to play Cambridge scholar Guy Burgess, who as a 1930s boarding school boy fell in love with his friend.

The remake of the 1980s movie Another Country is expected to include scenes of nudity, caning and naked homo-erotic romps - but Daniel says he’s well up for the challenge.

‘I’d never play a gay character just for the sake of it,’ the 18-year-old tells the Daily Star.

‘But if the script was good and it was a good character, it wouldn’t bother me. Playing characters exploring their sexuality is a challenge.’
