Page 12 | Daniel Radcliffe doubles down

Silly little boy. No one would even know who he was if he hadn't been Harry Potter. All this guff is getting him sort of publicity I suppose. He needs it.

I feel that the statement "trans women are women" erases the identity and dignity of women, who actually need and are allowed to have words and spaces for themselves which don't include members of the opposite sex.

It's very notable that Radcliffe simply said "no comment" to the women's rights angle. He's made it clear who he cares about, and it's not women.

Apparently he hasn’t spoken with JKR for years. I’m sure she’s gutted, given his bleatings

Interesting that they included her scathing quote, I was quite surprised by that.

YukNo · 01/05/2024 14:06

He’s always come across in interviews as supremely thick and very dull. Also he can’t act.

BiggerBoat1 · 01/05/2024 14:04

I find all the hate a bit sad. He's expressing an opinion, just as JKR does. You may not agree with him, but the personal insults are a bit childish.

theDudesmummy · 01/05/2024 14:00

OK, well I take back what I said re surrogacy then. He's still a little twerp.

I’d be very surprised if he actually understood the Cass report or knew what was going on or followed any of it. He probably only knows the snippets he hears journalists use if he is questioned on it, and I doubt he understands what they’re saying.

Show quote history

I’m sure he, or more likely his publicist, is aware that all it turns out that it’s not all glitter and happy feels with regards child transition and even the British left are starting to catch up.

The difference in tone between his two statements are very telling.

WarshipRocinante · 01/05/2024 13:51

FirstFallopians · 01/05/2024 13:42

In fairness, the quote in bold was made by him immediately after JKR “came out” and released her essay.

His more recent quote admitted that he wouldn’t have his current life if it wasn’t for JKR, but that won’t stop him having his own opinions. And that he loves the LGBT community blah blah blah. Slightly less militant, as I’d expect given Cass.

I was about to post the same point.

I can't access that Rolling Stone link but the full article is in The Atlantic.

I found it a bit tricky to disentangle what he's said in the past from what he's saying now, but I think I'd describe his current stance as trying to swerve the question rather than doubling down. Hopefully this archive link will work:

His girlfriend is a woman. Always has been a woman. It’s a horrible theory based on the fact that in some photos, she doesn’t always look beautiful. Women don’t have to be perfect and feminine and beautiful from every angle every second.

is Radcliffe a nepo baby?

I believe his parents worked as casting directors and put him forward for the Harry Potter film. It wasn't his first acting role. He played Pip in a BBC adaptation of Great Expectations not long before that and I thought he was quite good in that part.

The movies are so beloved because of the ensemble of excellent adult actors, the SFX and set designs and most importantly the narrative brilliance which was all down to...guess who...JK Rowling.

Aren’t they remaking them for an HBO TV series? At which point there will be a new “Harry” (and others) and Dan is going to be even less relevant as “the old Harry that couldn’t act”.

Yep and I believe JKR is heavily involved :-)

DialSquare · 01/05/2024 13:46

Can't wait for the new Harry Potter series so a new generation of young actors can be associated with it.

OnlyLoveCanBreakYourHeart · 01/05/2024 13:44

Funny how all these men are so certain that TWAW but you never see them dating one do you?

Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I.”

Honestly. If you need an expert to tell you who's a woman mate, you're in more trouble than you think.

It is

Radcliffe is a twat but his partner is quite clearly a woman

theDudesmummy · 01/05/2024 13:35

Is that true about the surrogacy, I didn't know that (I don't know much about this twerp tbh). If so, then he definitely knows what a woman is if he had to rent one because he didn't have one to hand.

A glance at IMDB suggests he's not getting much return on his brown nosing. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0705356/

Yes, how very sad. You'd think he'd be clever enough to keep his mouth shut on this topic, hasn't he noticed all the reverse ferreting going on?

OT: I hadn't realised he was quite that short.
