Daniel Radcliffe has targeted homophobes across the globe in a new interview with Attitude magazine, labeling them as “disgusting,” stupid animals who are “thick” and “scared.”
“I just loathe homophobia,” he said. “It’s just disgusting and animal and stupid and it’s just thick people who can’t get their heads around it and are just scared.”
The Harry Potter star – who recently celebrated his 20th birthday – told the gay magazine that while he wasn’t gay (he’s happily dating his Equus co-star, Laura O’Toole) he had no problem with homosexuality, and fully supported the lifestyle choice.
“I grew up around gay people entirely,” the young actor said. “I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that.”
Radcliffe recently came under fire about his own sexuality, and was forced to explain at a recent red carpet event for new film Half-Blood Prince that while he was “flattered” by the rumours, he didn’t bat for the other team.
