He’s 17, Bam. 18 in a few months.

Hm… maybe you SHOULD reread FINDING HOME. *runs*

I am twice this boy’s age, and I’ve done nothing but have lustful thoughts since I saw these photos! I never understood the toy boy thing… now I do.

He’s beautiful. Masculine and yet vulnerable and all silky fair skin, sexy body hair, beautiful blue eyes and a lovely characterful face. I always knew he’d grow up into a good looking guy, but I never thought of him as having raw sex appeal until now. Five more years and he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with in the sexy man stakes!

Equus is an intense play (a friend of mine recently directed a version of it here in Brisbane, Australia) and takes one hell of a talent to play the central role. I personally think he’s a very talented young actor, I only saw the first HP movie a month ago and could see the talent in that wee boy.

I understand the Letorneau-esque feelings, I honestly do.

Nothing wrong with gawking. A teen isn’t that young and some of them are built really well, so what? Gawk away! It’s the seducing and touching part that is the naughty, not mere contemplation of male (or female) beauty. I don’t think anyone has to feel pervy about finding this shot of Daniel hot.

I saw this play before and the movie made in the 70′s (with Richard Burton as the psychiatrist). It’s very powerful and sexually charged. From what I’ve seen in Harry Potter world so far, Radcliffe doesn’t have the acting chops for it. He does that little annoying mouth thing and that hitch in his breathing when he’s frustrated. That’s about his range. I’ll be very interested to hear what the critics have to say after the fact.

And screw all these mothers worrying about their children’s role model. He’s an actor for Christ’s sake and has to take a challenging role now or forever be limited to the mold of HP. I think it’s a wise career move for him.

BTW, in our college production of Equus, there was a body stocking involved and some strategic lighting. Still Steve Blakey, the guy who starred, was a beautiful, beautiful sight, sigh… And I can’t believe I still remember his name after all these years.

Sam, I think you’re talking about Elijah Wood in Sin City. He has done a good job, I think, of not being limited by his Frodo role. It helps that he had a decent acting career before it.

I’m glad Radcliffe has left that awkward ugly stage. He looks much better now although not quite enough to make me lustful.

I’m in the Mrs. G camp. Something miraculous will have to happen for him to break out of the Harry Potter mold.

Wow, I think his skin looks really HEALTHY and pretty. Nice and smooth and not at all like leather. Like alabaster.

I also like my men fully growed. He’s 17, scrawny, and has really strange skin color. That pic with the girl, he’s like gray or something…eeeewwh. The kid should make a vampire or zombie movie.

Not to condone child predators (Mary Kay et al), but I’ve seen much better at local high schools. What do they feed kids these days anyway…and do teen age girls realize how lucky they are?

I think he looks pretty good – sun is bad for skin – what’s wrong with Celtic skin?
Equus is a pretty violent play – but if he can carry it off, more power to him.

(Sort of like whatshisface the hobbit Frodo when he was in that really tough film (brain hiccup here – can’t remember the name) playing the psychopath remember that?)

Stuart Townsend…. I totally see it.
But the boy clearly needs 90 seconds in the spray tan booth.

Bam, I found some really high-resolution wallpaper-sized versions of those pics and thought immediately of you. I’ve linked to it via my name in this post. It’s a not safe for work forum, for those who are at work!
