Daniel Radcliffe. That darling of the Harry Potter franchise has been working hard the past several years to break from his boy wizard typecast.

We’re sure that more than one of you googled the term “Daniel Radcliffe nude” during his turn on the boards of Broadway in Equus. And now he takes on another adult role in the new film from director John Krokidas, “Kill Your Darlings.” In the film he plays Allen Ginsberg and in one (hopefully) salacious scene, Radcliffe tells Flaunt magazine, he must learn about the pains of gay sex. “Basically, gay sex, especially for the first time, is really fucking painful,” he tells the article’s author, John-Paul Pryor. “And [Krokidas] said that he had never seen that portrayed accurately on film before. He wanted it to look like an authentic loss of virginity.”

Beyond the titillating thrill of seeing Radcliffe lose his virginity onscreen, the film itself sounds like an outstanding piece of work. Read the whole article at Flaunt.com and be sure to see the movie. We know we will.
