'Do crazy sex kissing': Daniel Radcliffe jokes about having to step up the snogging for gay sex scene

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he had step up his snogging for a gay sex scene in film Kill Your Darlings.

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, the 23-year-old joked that the extremely heavy petting marked a watershed moment in his career, shifting away from the likes of Hogwarts and Quidditch.

He said: “I was doing a gay sex scene and the director was giving step by step instructions. 

“And the favourite note I have ever had was when we were kissing and the director shouted, ‘Not like that. Crazy sex kissing!’ 

“I spent 10 years in a kids’ franchise and that was definitely a moment of, ‘Yes, I think I’m moving on.’”

The star, who plays beat poet Allen Ginsberg in the Sundance Grand Jury Prize-nominated flick, also confessed that he had found putting on an Irish accent for new play The Cripple of Innishmaan.

“It was tricky and horribly intimidating thinking everyone is going to think it’s terrible,” he admitted. 

“The first fifteen minutes of the first day I was just mumbling but at some point I just thought, ‘To hell with it, just go for it,’ and it’s been good ever since.”

Also appearing on the couch with Graham are Isla Fisher and The Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann.
