Dan's Political Opinions in Vogue

In the Media - Print Articles

With the UK General Election taking place any Thursday between now and 3rd June, the British media is full of political speculation.

And Vogue (my 10-year-old son has a subscription) has a long article about which party various people in the arts will be supporting, including this quote from a list of supporters of the Liberal Democrats...

...So too is Daniel Radcliffe, who calls me after a day of submersion in a water tank on the set of the final Harry Potter1. "I'll be voting Lib Dem, without a shadow of a doubt. Nick Clegg rang me and we had a good chat. He's seriously impressive," he says between bites of a ham-and-brie panini in his dressing room. "Politics are so dull, boring, placid and anodyne at the moment. I was brought up in a left-wing house, but now everything is centre. My generation is genetically engineered to have a distrust of politicians. Do you know what leaves me cold? Those awful attempts to pander to the young. I feel like shouting, 'I don't want you to listen to the Arctic Monkeys!'" 

As usual, Dan is passionate about using his vote, so let's hope he influences other first time General Election voters to make it to the ballot box. I have never, ever not voted - women died so I could have the vote.

1 omg, Silver Doe!!!

APLive Interview from the Trevor Project

Videos - Miscellaneous

As we told you this morning, today the Associated Press streamed a new interview with Dan on their Livestream.com account at APLive.

It wasn't about anything as fluffy as Broadway musicals, but covered his involvement with the Trevor Project.

The interview is already restreaming at  APLive, as their most recent interview, but we have popped it on YouTube, for posterity, here.

Dan talks compassionately about why he supports the project, while being straight, himself.

And, yes, sniggerers, he specifically denies being a lesbian.

There's your headline... how many Google alerts tomorrow will be titled: Daniel Radcliffe denies being a lesbian!

 

APLive Interview with Dan Streaming Later Today

Videos - Stage Projects

Today at 8:30GMT (3:30 Eastern), the Associated Press will be streaming a new interview with Dan on their Livestream.com account at APLive.

The Leaky expects the subject of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying to come up, after the read through that happened in New York in December - and that is something that we have all been dying for news on - I know my husband cannot wait to find out when I am going to New York, again!

As we told you in August, Dan is a big supporter of the Trevor Project, the leading US national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth.

And, as he is currently back in New York, he took the opportunity to visit the charity's eastcoast call centre, earlier today.

Many thanks, Sabine.

 

Dan in the Arts in the UK

In the Media - Television

Many thanks to Jain for a couple of Arts programmes for British fans to look out for in the next couple of days.

Tomorrow, Tuesday 23/2, we finally get a chance to see Daniel on his episode of Inside The Actors Studio from 2008, when it is shown on Sky Arts (and Sky Arts HD) at 8pm, with a repeat screening at 9am on 24/2.

Obviously famed for his portrayal of one of the most famous characters in children’s literature, he drops into The Actors Studio whilst in the middle of the Broadway run of Equus.

He discusses growing up on screen, making important decisions in the bath and how he got fit for his naked appearance in Equus.

Also on Tuesday 23/2, while we have our Arts hats on, the final episode of Lord Puttnam's Century of Cinema is on BBC Radio 2 at 22:30, and looks at the future of cinema...

This new programme brings David Puttnam's acclaimed series up-to-date with an exclusive on-set visit to Hogwarts, and contributions from the production team behind the most successful movie franchise ever:

 Dan isn't mentioned by name, but it is certainly of interest.

 

Advert for Wizarding World of Harry Potter

In the Media - Online Articles

A special new advert for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is due to air during an advert break in an American sporting event, this Sunday.

I believe it is a match called The Super Bowl, or something like that, but the article does not specify which sport is involved.

Anyway, thanks to our friends at The Leaky, we know that the advert is available to view, on line, without having to find out which sport is involved.

It is up at WalletPop.com, and can be watched here.

Watch it, even if you don't like theme parks, for a tiny bonus surprise moment.
