Good news for the HP-fans..

 

 

 

If further proof was needed that Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has left behind the world of magic and spells, surely pictures of him sporting a moustache should do the trick.

 

 

 

In his first TV drama role since finding fame as the schoolboy wizard, Radcliffe, who turned 18 last month, stars in the World War One film, 'My Boy Jack' where he trades his school uniform for the rather more mature attire of the Irish Guards.

 

 

 

However the familiar specs are still there.

 

 

 

Daniel Radcliffe plays John 'Jack' Kipling in World War One drama 'My Boy Jack'

 

 

 

The true story looks at how Rudyard Kipling used his influence to get his 17-year-old son Jack (played by Radcliffe) a commission with the Irish Guards, despite his son's poor eyesight.

 

 

 

Jack went missing in action during the Battle of Loos and his mother and father carried out an ardent search for him, spanning many years and many miles of soul-destroying discovery.

 

 

 

The part is a further stretch for Radcliffe, worth a reported ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã23 million, who is keen to play more 'adult' roles as he approaches the end of his time playing the hero of JK Rowling's phenomenally succcessful 'Harry Potter' series.

 

 

 

He recently received resounding praise for his first (and rather daring) stage role in Equus which included full-frontal nudity.

 

 

 

Radcliffe can currently be seen in the fifth film of the seven-part series, Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OT: I'm not a hp-fan

if i ever watch this movie, i will keep thinking of harry potter mowing down the bad guys with a machine gun

 

 

 

it just wont work!

Hate to be a pain,but doesn't this belong in the music, movies & television part of the forum ?

 

 

 

Aside from that..I shall forever think of Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter..regardless of any other movie he stars in,can't help it. :P

lol, he looks too funny. But I guess he's gonna have to move on eventually.

Just think of his gun as a wand.

 

 

 

I have to agree, I'll always think of him as Harry Potter, even if he goes Rambo...
