Daniel
Radcliffe Stunned by Impromptu Gay Kiss
2/27/08
Harry Potter star
Daniel Radcliffe was left stunned when he was presented with a prestigious
London theatre prize - and a full-on gay kiss.
The 18-year-old was attending the Theatergoers' Choice Awards in London
on Sunday (24Feb08) when he stepped on to the stage to collect the Best
Newcomer honor for his West End debut in Equus.
And host, gay TV star James Cordon, was so delighted to meet Radcliffe,
he grabbed him and planted a long lingering kiss on the actor's lips -
while the audience cheered.
But the teenager was unfazed by Cordon's antics and played along.
And Radcliffe's representative insists the star was not embarrassed by
the incident, saying, "It was a spontaneous gesture that was very
funny. Daniel took it in the light-hearted spirit it was intended."
