"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe, who strips for his new role in London's West End revival of the play "Equus," has ignited a bit of a media firestorm by posing for racy promotional photos for the production.

The Tony-Award-winning drama tells the story of a stable-hand who has an erotic fixation with horses. In one photo, Radcliffe, 17, dares to bare it all alongside a white horse; in another, he is pictured with a naked Joanna Christie, the actress who portrays his girlfriend.

"Equus," directed by Thea Sharrock, opens at London's Gielgud Theater on Feb. 27. Tony Award-winning actor Richard Griffiths plays a pyschiatrist who treats Radcliffe's character.

"Part of me wants to shake up people's perception of me, just shove me in a blender," Radcliffe said in a recent interview with Newsweek magazine.

"It's a really challenging play, and if I can pull it off — we don't know if I can yet — I hope people will stop and think, 'Maybe he can do something other than Harry,'" he said.

Radcliffe, who was discovered seven years ago in the audience of a London theater, reprises his role as the bespectacled boy wizard in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," slated for release July 13.

Raph's Girl note:
Hermione: "So Harry...what did you do on your summer vacation?"
Harry: "Well...there was this horse..."

My eyes have already been bleached as a result of these photos. There are versions that go even lower than what Yahoo is showing.

Because you chose to see it.

To para-phrase my favorite Maurice LaMarche from Futurama:

"You've seen it, you can't un-see it!!!"

Although my eyes have been tainted, I say good for him. He wants to stop being labeled as "Harry Potter", so he's going for something as far away from that role as possible. You know...no nakie Radcliffe in the movies...nakie Radcliffe on stage while obsessing over horses...

Damn it man, this is no time for logic!

**Jo Dawn** · 02-02-2007, 02:30 PM

Hahaha... Yeah, I saw these a while ago...

Honestly... I didn't really wanna see them. He's still a little kid to me (and, really, he IS). Can't say I didn't look, though.

I'll say... as for the 'losing the HP image'... All I have to say is, he has to remember what made him famous, is all. It seems that many, too many, people do.

Wasn't real impressed by the photos, though.

He's 17 already? And posing nude with horses?

Holy cow....or horse rather!

Man child stars grow like weeds....

Man, this is a bit disturbing considering how young he is...and yea, I don't think I'll be able to see Harry Potter in quite the same light again...you think dear Emma Watson will be there when it opens up?
