'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe is hoping to play a gay spy. He wants to audition for the part in the remake of the movie 'Another Country'. The 18-year-old actor is planning to audition for the role of a boy at boarding school in the 30s who falls in love with his best friend and later becomes an undercover agent in a remake of the 1984 movie.
The film adaptation of Julian Mitchell's play, which originally starred Rupert Everett in both the stage and screen version, is loosely based on the life of Guy Burgess, who became a double agent working for the Soviet Union, and was famously part of the Cambridge Five spy ring.
Earlier this week, Daniel - who appeared naked on stage in the London play 'Equus' - revealed he was interested in playing characters who are exploring their sexuality.
Speaking at a press conference for his latest movie December Boys, he said: "I'd never play a gay character just for the sake of playing a gay character. If the script was good, and it was a good gay character then, I'm 18, and so the parts I'm going to be getting will be open for around that age range.
"And around that age range is when people are exploring sexuality, so those are the parts I think I will be involved in."
