Daniel Radcliffe: Dumbeldore Being Gay is
Hilarious
British actor Daniel Radcliffe sat down with
TV host Michael Parkinson on his talk show this weekend and talked about
the
recent revelations from 'Harry Potter' author JK Rawlings that she
always thought Harry Potter's mentor Albus Dumbeldore was gay.
Parkinson asked Radcliffe if the revelations had affected things on the
set of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,' the sixth installment
of the Harry Potter series, which has just started shooting.
Parkinson: You're doing the next Potter film [..] And the revelation of
course, that old Dumbledore is gay!
Radcliffe: Yeah, I know! That was hilarious!
Parkinson: I know. Does it make a difference on the set?
Radcliffe: [Michael Gambon has] been camping it up around the set like
nobody's business. Not in the film. Although we actually did film a
scene the other day, and I'd like to emphasize this point that the
script was written before this revelation - I don't think [screenwriter]
Steve Kloves had any prior knowledge. But there was a scene the other
day where Michael had to come in and say to another character and tell
him how much he loved knitting patterns.. Which he just adored saying
that.
Radcliffe is currently promoting his new movie 'My Boy Jack.'
See a clip from the interview below. The Dumbeldore part is towards the
