Harry Potter star wants to play gay spy
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is hoping to play a gay spy. He wants to audition for the part in the remake of the movie Another Country, reports IANS from London.
Dailysnack.com reports that Radcliffe said: “I’d never play a gay character just for the sake of playing a gay character. 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. I’m 18 so the parts I’m going to be given will be for that age range — when people are doing just that”.
