Daniel
Radcliffe
had
to
wear
padded
underwear
to
protect
his
manhood
while
filming
the
latest
'Harry
Potter'
movie.
The
17-year-old
actor
also
needed
easy
access
stripper-style
trousers
for
scenes
in
which
the
teenage
wizard
takes
to
the
skies
on
his
broomstick.
Radcliffe
said:
"I
had
padded
shorts
under
my
trousers.
I
also
other
trousers
that
must
have
belonged
to
the
Chippendales
because
they've
got
Velcro
that
rips
apart
to
get
the
harness
on
for
flying,
then
sticks
back
together."
The
young
star's
assets
were
allowed
much
more
freedom
in
his
recent
stint
on
the
London
stage
in
the
play
'Equus'.
For
his
role
as
Alan
Strang,
who
becomes
erotically
obsessed
with
a
horse,
Radcliffe
had
to
bare
all
every
night.
He
said:
"It
was
the
most
exhilarating
thing
I
have
ever
done.
I
did
it
to
shake
up
people's
perception
of
me.
People
tend
to
think
I'm
a
Peter
Pan
figure,
but
I'm
definitely
not,
I
promise
you."
'Harry
Potter
and
the
Order
of
the
Phoenix'
hits
cinemas
worldwide
next
month.
