What's his age again?

I am one of apparently 12 people in the world who didn't go see the Harry Potter movie yet, but I do totally appreciate how smart and centered Daniel Radcliffe sounds in this big Entertainment Weekly interview.

Of course I'm just showing you the gay and/or naked parts:

You'll probably be 19 or 20 by the time you finish playing Harry as a 17-year-old in the seventh and final movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Do you think that age difference matters?
What was the thing Luke Perry was in?

Oh -- you mean Beverly Hills 90210.
Wasn't he in his late 20s playing a 19-year-old? And people come up to me and say, 'Do you not think you're getting too old for the part?' It's lunacy. It always makes me crazy. Most actors don't play their exact age. The perfect example was Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain. At the beginning of the film, he's too old to play that young. Well, not too old, but he's older than his character. At the end of the film, he's younger than his character. And he plays it the whole way. He doesn't get asked these questions!

No, because we were all too busy asking him what it was like to pretend to have gay sex, duh!

Also of potential interest:

The publicity photos for the play were extremely provocative, and spread all over the Internet as soon as they were released. What was it like shooting them?
I remember being a little bit hyper that day. At that point, we'd just done the nude scene in rehearsals [for the first time]. And I was basically wanting to get my kit off as much as I possibly could, to try and get used to the idea, and in front of as many strangers as I could. I'd be like, ''Ready now? Is this where I take them off?'' And they'd be like, ''Dan! Hold back! Wait! Just give us 10 minutes, please!''

Who wants to tell Popnography's readers how the movie was?

Oh, and if you haven't been paying attention, we're a mere 10 days away from Harry Potter being legal...
