Daniel Radcliffe given 'step by step instructions' for gay sex scene in new film Kill Your Darlings

Daniel Radcliffe given 'step by step instructions' for gay sex scene in new film Kill Your Darlings | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Yep, in D-Rad's new film Kill Your Darlings he plays a young Allen Ginsberg, and even though he happens to wear glasses - honestly, can't *any* of Daniel's fictional characters have 20/20 vision? - there's one key difference between him and young, magical Harry. Allen's gay (and not even with one of the Weasley twins) and so Daniel found himself acting out a sex scene with another guy during the film's shoot. EEK.

In the last apartment they are likely ever to live in together, Kenneth Leedom and Peter Cott were talking about eros and the public life of New York — which is to say, sex on a moving subway train. Mr. Leedom is 88; Mr. Cott is 89. Mr. Cott, seated beside an upright piano in the couple’s sunny yellow living room, listened intently, then spoke as if delivering his lines from a stage.
