While Daniel Radcliffe may have been nervous for his first kiss as Harry Potter, he’s said he wasn’t worried about kissing his Equus co-star on stage - even though he was nude at the time.

Daniel played Alan Strang in the West End show for four months earlier this year and had to kiss co-star Joanna Christie while naked on stage but wasn’t worried about getting lost in the romantic moment.

He told Details magazine recently: “It’s the least arousing process. Jo’s beautiful, but after you’ve gone through it a hundred times with an audience there … to be honest, when you get naked in front of 900 people, quite the opposite happens.”

He added that he suspects the media storm around his striping off on stage was caused because people weren’t expecting little Harry Potter to have gone through puberty: “It’s that thing of being shocked that I should have hair - you know, anywhere else other than on my head.”
