Dan confronts Q&As about being famous, the 5th Potter movie and growing up

Harry Potter actor, himself, Daniel Radcliffe, took a break in between filming the 5th instalment of the Potter movie, to an interview with NEWSWEEK. He [Dan] dealt with questions like dating, friendship, acting, growing up as Harry Potter (which is obviously his prominent movie role since the age of 11) and his playing a new role, which is quite a bit push ahead of being the boy wizard.

Radcliffe, now, 17, decided to grab another title role of a Tony-awarded play, "Equus." Not only that it [Equus] marked stunning critics during the 70s, Daniel plays on-stage as Alan Strang, who, controversially requires him to ride naked on a horse.

Daily Mail discusses 'Equus' stage play

Daily Mail is reporting that Dan's stage debut 'Equus' will be performed in the round for 16 weeks at the Gielgud Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, with previews starting on February 16 and an official opening night planned for February 27.

Sixty people from the audience will actually be seated on stage when the Harry Potter star, in his role as the troubled groomsman Alan Strang in Peter Shaffer's celebrated play Equus. Tickets will not go on sale at the Gielgud for a while.

In any case, Equus will open after Frost/Nixon, which is being transferred from the Donmar Warehouse Theatre, completes a limited run.

On the Harry Potter set Radcliffe: "My favourite film"

French Magazine "Sud Pep's" has an interesting report on the set of OotP.

Daniel Radcliffe: he's only five foot three. Unlike his schoolmates, the hero didn't have any free time for us. We had to wait until the evening, when the shooting stopped, to get to talk with him.

Daniel Radcliffe, sitting on a mound, has just learned that one of his loved ones is dead. The wind blowing in his hear, tears flow out of his eyes. The scene is heartrending... (a reliable source has informed Mugglenet that Dan listened to depressing music for several days to prepare himself emotionally for this and for a number of other scenes.) but shot indoors, in an annex to the studio which looks like a bunker! It hardly matters: on the big screen, it will seem 100% real!

Nice review of Dan's performance on 'Extras'

Blogcritics has some nice comments about Dan and his co-stars regarding their appearance on Ricky Gervais' 'Extras'.

Probably the best episode so far this season, and there’s little doubt in my mind that it’s because the show returns to the same kind of format as the original series. The episode's finest moment features Radcliffe, a cond**, and Dame Diana Rigg who shows what real star power is all about.

First OotP trailer to be released on November 17th!

According to the Official Harry Potter Newsletter from Warner Brothers, the first trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released on November 17th, in front of WB's film Happy Feet!

BTBE! goes Punk

Bravo to Daniel Radcliffe for sharing with us his 10 favorite songs at iTunes on November, last year. And now, "Behind The Blue Eyes!" presents to you those songs!

From Antony and the Johnsons' "Hope There's Someone" to the Weezer's "Buddy Holly", click the flash player at the right side-bar of this page and choose from Dan's choice of songs.

Enjoy the songs as much as I enjoy them! They're all fantastic!

Thanks to PremiumBeat for the flash player.

Dan Featured in "Exceptional Youth"

The Guardian, a newspaper in the UK, reports that Dan is one of the "inspiring young Britons" to be featured in "Exceptional Youth: Photographs By Emma Hardy Exhibition" at the National Portrait Gallery, London WC2 on October 30th, this year. The article entitled The Young Ones includes interviews from Daniel and the other faces of Britain's future.

Daniel Radcliffe, 16 [at time of interview]
Chosen at 11 to play Harry Potter, he is now making the fifth film in the series. He has appeared as 'himself' in Extras and next year is to star in the ITV drama My Boy Jack, in the film December Boys and on stage in Equus.

"I'm still not really aware of how big Harry Potter is. When you're in the middle of something, it's hard to be objective. Funny things have happened, though, and I do have to avoid confined spaces such as the underground. Recently we went to the science museum in Valencia. I was really excited to be checking it out, but I hadn't factored in the school parties, who got a little overexcited.

"I would hate to be accused of having got through life just by luck - I think you do create your own destiny. My mum and dad believe in fate. I see coincidences, but not a predestined path. If it's just about fate, then you become complacent and expect things to come your way. I like being challenged. Even when you're doing really intense, dramatic scenes that take so much out of you, it's still really fun and energising. Acting makes you feel so alive.

"Committing to such a big film project has involved sacrifices. I miss out on some of the more spontaneous moments in life. But I have a great bunch of friends and an amazing relationship with my parents, and I feel lucky to have worked with so much talent. It sounds a bit gushy, I know, but to have performed with the likes of Imelda Staunton, Gary Oldman and Michael Gambon is nothing less than magical."

UPDATE: Here is a scan from the print issue of The Guardian, containing the portrait of Dan that will be featured on the exhibit.

New Video of Dan Receiving the French Prize for GoF!

Daniel jokingly apologized for his "strange" outfit as he accepted the "Top of the Box Office" award for the Goblet of Fire movie. In this taped video message on the set of HP 5 (Order of the Phoenix), he thanked NRJ on behalf of himself and the cast and crew of Harry Potter. He also mentioned hearing that 1.5 million people voted for them!

Congratulations!

P.S.
This is my first ever post! Thank you so much to Philip for the warm welcome! I'm glad to be part of BTBE!

Here comes our new BTBE! staff: Janine

During the past weeks, I've been campaigning for rightful individuals to be a part of "Behind The Blue Eyes!"

And yesterday, one 22-year old Nursing student from Quezon City, submitted an application and I was (and still am) impress by what she forwarded me.

Her name is Janina Medina. You can call her, Janine. She is a Nursing student and truly a Daniel Radcliffe fan. To know deeply about her, you can read her short info write-up.

Name: Janine
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Birthday: July 2, 1984
City/Province/State: Quezon City, Philippines
Email: (to be posted later with Janine's approval)

"About Me"

I'm a third year college student, taking up Bachelor of Science in Nursing. When I'm not studying or not busy with school works, I enjoy doing the usual stuffs: surfing the internet, going to malls, listening to the radio, watching TV, enjoying the movies (not so into horror flicks), i love music!!! Anything... (except metal, and hard rock), you know, with TOO much noise. I like reading novels, like the Harry Potter series, from RL Stine's, Christopher Pike's, Nicholas Sparks' novels, anything that has suspense, or mystery stuff in it and medical books (of course) which, I try to read as much as I can..

Aside from Dan, my top idols are Justin Timberlake (I've been a fan of him and his group *Nsync, since the beginning of their career) and Vanessa Hudgens. I'm proud of her (Vanessa) because she's "pinay", just like me and she is multi-talented. I'm currently addicted to High School Musical too of the Disney Channel. My other interests which I also enjoy indulging into includes, updating and looking up on Hollywood celebrities, gossip, writing stories (during my free period), buying CDs and collecting stuffs related to Dan: videos, pictures, HP items.. name them!!!

In December of 2004, I was chosen by DanRadcliffe.com as one of their winners in their 'greatest fans hall of fame' project for ACED Magazine which was sent to Dan as a Christmas present. Again and as always, he was very overwhelmed, honored, amazed and pleased when he received it (according to a letter sent to Jenna, DR.com WebMaster). And of course, that was an achievent that I am also very proud of. To represent the Filipino fans to Daniel Radcliffe is such an honor! My greatest dream is to meet him someday "OR", just see him in person, that would be nice!! I don't think there will come a time that my dedication and obsession towards him will end. My hat is off for Dan because he is such an amazing person in so many ways!

To Janine, congratulations...
