Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says his naked appearance in the controversial stage play Equus has been hardened like "pornography".
The actor - who asterisked in the stage play in London�s West End theatre territory and is about to reprise his role on New York's Broadway, as a stable boy possessed with horses - was surprised at the reaction his nude sculpture scene caused.
He said: "Offended mothers were calling up and expression I shouldn�t be doing this, that they weren�t going to go see it.
"Okay, don�t see it. They�re treating it wish it�s pornography, and it�s not. It�s only seven minutes at the end of the play when I�m naked, and I�m 19 now."
Daniel also claimed the ill-famed scene is one of the almost �shocking� and �terrifying� pieces of house he has witnessed or been involved in.
He added at New York's Times Talk event, held by the The New York Times paper: "You�re in there, and there ar these hooves flying around, and I�m naked by that point. It�s terrifying.
"That scene is one of the to the highest degree shocking pieces of field of operations, and I deserve very little credit for that. Those 'horses' are amazing."
