Daniel Radcliffe Will Strip for Next 'Harry Potter'

Daniel Radcliffe will strip down in the new Harry Potter movie -- twice! The actor, who has previously bared it all for his part in the play Equus, will drop his clothes again for the latest flick in the series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. Details aren't quite solidified, but it sounds like a go.

Director David Yates revealed: “Daniel has appeared nude in the past. There are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress but we’re still thinking about how we present it.”

The scene occurs when Harry’s best friend and Hermione’s love interest Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint, is battling a monster which tries to defend itself by flashing a series of images where Harry and Hermione are kissing and embracing."

Daniel will then expose himself in a later scene following a brush with death. The director added: "There is another scene in Kings Cross station, where Harry almost dies and sees Dumbledore. In that scene he will also be naked."

Daniel, 20, has previously admitted he was surprised by how comfortable he was appearing nude on stage. He said: "It never really was an issue. I don't know why, it probably should have been. I am terribly self-conscious. Although I remember I did look at my dad once and say, 'Do you think I could wear pants?' "

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is being split into two installments, with the first due for release next year.
