Can you believe it ?

Note: Post may contain images that are a wee bit graphical.

Was watching Channel E!'s 'Forbes's 20 Under 25: Rich, Young and Famous'. And guess what ? Daniel Radcliffe's 6th in the countdown, earning a whooping $15 million in 2007.


How crazy is that ?


From a normal little boy born in England,


He was shot into stardom and richness when he took on the role as Harry Potter. All thanks to J.K. Rowling.
For those who have never heard of Harry Potter, where the hell have you been ?

And now, 8 years later, he is a millionaire and a MAN.



It's like living a dream. Earning cold, hard cash I could only dream of, and starring in Harry Potter. I mean HARRY POTTER ! How cool is that ?

To be a hard core fan of someone and to play the role ? All these while getting paid for it. It's pure SIN alright.

Daniel sure made a loud statement that he was no longer an innocent boy in 2007. What with his baring performance in Equus.



Equus is a play written by Peter Shaffer, narrating the story of a psychiatrist's attempt to treat a young man who has pathological religious/sexual fascination with horses. In the play, Daniel plays Alan Strang, a stable boy with an obsession with horses.


It seems that the play was gonna be a disturbed and graphical one. This genre of production never fails to leave me feeling miserable. It has pornography written all over it. Call me conservative, but I certainly do not have senses to such 'art'.

The fact that he decided to take on such a play has certainly tarnished the image he had in me. He is no longer the person I believe him to be when he was Harry Potter. Although I cannot help but to admit he sure looked steamingly hot in those photo shoots.

What do you think ?

He went on to star in December Boys, a film about a bunch of orphanage boys growing up behind the closed doors of a catholic convent in outback Australia. The kind of movie I don't think I'd ever watch.

Doesn't he look so different here ?

This is a picture of him in his role John Kipling in My Boy Jack.

It seems that his career as an actor is gonna be a bright one. But nevertheless, I still miss my Harry Potter. Just like I miss my Britney Spears in 'Baby One More Time'.

Oh by the way, this trailer is hilarious !
