”Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe addresses gay rumors, Dumbledore outing
”I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that’s possibly why I’m quite camp, and some people think I’m gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome…. [Apparently] someone said ‘Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He’s got a gay face!’ [Laughs] I really don’t know what a gay face is. But I think it’s wonderful that Dumbledore was outed as gay … Half of me thinks Jo Rowling just did that to see if she could piss off the right wing, but I’m not sure how true that is.”
Actor Daniel Radcliffe responding to a question about what he thought of the gay icon status of Dumbledore, the head wizard of Hogwarts School in the ”Harry Potter” series of children’s books written by J.K. Rowling. Videos on YouTube have him engaged in a prolonged stage kiss with another man and saying he’d turn gay for Albert Einstein. (Moviefone)
