Daniel Radcliffe Covers 'Out' Magazine March 2013

Daniel Radcliffe is only 23, but the actor appeared to be wise beyond his years in a long interview with Out Magazine.

The Harry Potter star was the cover model for the gay magazine as he provocatively modelled several stylish pieces of clothing, including a flamboyant orange outfit.

'You never see a gay actor getting asked what it's like to play straight,' he said. 'To my knowledge, at least, there is no difference in how heterosexual and homosexual people fall in love.'

Radcliffe is promoting his latest flick, Kill Your Darlings, a movie by first-time director John Krokidas in which Radcliffe plays the gay 'Beat Generation' poet Allen Ginsberg at a formative moment in his life.

Based on a true murder case that brought Ginsberg and fellow Beat writers Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs together at Columbia University,

The film premiered on January 18 at Sundance to generous reviews.  

In the interview with Out, Daniel recalled being yelled at by teachers when he'd roll around and pretend to be a dog biting people.

'I think I always felt different from everyone else in my class,' he admitted.

The handsome star is rumoured to be dating his Kiss Your Darlings costar Erin Darke.

People Magazine reported a source said Darke was Radcliffe's 'girlfriend' and that they were seen kissing and cuddling at the Sundance film festival.
