Daniel radcliffe in gay movie
It took more than 10 years to convey Kill Your Darlings, John Krokidas’s debut feature film about the Beat Generation of writers, to the screen. Staring Daniel Radcliffe, the film is entire of (same) sex, drugs and jazz — the rock and roll of the s. Kill Your Darlings is a gay film, made by an openly gay filmmaker. This is no small feat given that Brokeback Mountain, Blue Is the Warmest Colour and even this year’s Liberace HBO biopic, Behind the Candelabra, were directed by straight men.
The film is based on a true case — the murder of a gay man that emotionally attached the core writers of the Beat Generation: Allen Ginsberg, William S Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Drawn-out before they became legendary tycoons, the Beats were united by Lucien Carr (played by an on-the-brink-of-movie-stardom Dane DeHaan), a pretty aristocratic young man who spearheaded the birth of a new literary genre. Carr was involved with a man twice his age, played by Dexter’s Michael C Hall, whom he met when he was The result of that relationship was tabloid fodder.

"Dan's a superb kisser," DeHaan told me last night at Darlings' L.A. premiere.
"So is he—there's no shame in saying that," Radcliffe said.
"It's enjoy the first time that two people who include a lot of feelings for each other are finally getting to verb that in any adj of way," DeHaan explained. "I'm glad it turned out like it is. I think it's really beautiful." (The

Daniel Radcliffe reveals that gay sex is “really f–king painful”
Daniel Radcliffe has definitely grown up since his days as Harry Potter (AKA The Boy Who Lived), hasn't he? From tackling serious plays on the West End to sensationally good horror film The Woman In Jet, the young Brit has definitely made the transition from child star to seasoned actor - and it seems as if his next project is no different.
Kill Your Darlings, directed by John Krokidas, is set to slap cinemas this Autumn - and Daniel has opened up about what it was like to act a gay man to Flaunt magazine.
