Those who know him only from Potter will be astonished by what he
brings to the screen in Kill Your Darlings, a movie by
first-time director John Krokidas in which Radcliffe plays a young Allen
Ginsberg at a formative moment in his life. Based on a long-hidden
murder case that brought Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs
together at Columbia University, Krokidas has compared it to Capote in
the way it focuses on a single event - in both cases a murder - as a
transformative experience in the lives of the people around it...
Hollywood.com singled out the romantic relationship
between Radcliffe and [Dane] DeHaan as the motor of the entire movie,
“eventually swelling to a burst of passion.” For many, the unflinching
scenes of gay sex were further evidence, if it was needed, of the
distance Radcliffe has travelled in a few short years. “The Boy Wizard
never pinned his knees behind his ears,” snickered The Hollywood Reporter - a
harbinger, one suspects, of many such jokes to come. Radcliffe himself
remains unfazed, saying only, “You never see a gay actor getting asked
what it’s like to play straight - to my knowledge, at least, there is
no difference in how heterosexual and homosexual people fall in love.”

Though the last quote sounds "nice", I don't agree with it.
I agree with the journalist though that there's going to be a lot of sniggering at the bum jiggery.
But as Daniel's also playing gay, I bet there'll also be a lot of; "So brave..."
Some people won't know whether to laugh or cry.

Don't straight men go gooey over girls who dive into pools?
