Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has said in a newly published interview that he has grown up with gay men and finds gay crushes on him flattering.
Answering a question from The Daily Beast about whether he, like many straight actors, is a “fag hag,” Radcliffe said:
“Absolutely. My mom was a casting director and my dad was a literary agent and I was surrounded by gay men from a very young age. And I was the only boy in my class at school who had that kind of relationship with gay men.”
He added that: “Most of my friends had parents who had proper jobs in banks and law firms so none of them had been exposed to homosexuality in the way I had — as a normal course of things. So they had a rather different attitude toward it than I.”
Radcliffe also said that “…for a lot of straight guys — and I know I’m guilty of it sometimes — when you know a gay guy has a crush on you it is the most flattering thing.”
The newest Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will be released in June.

fag hag. isn’t that term only ever used when refering to women?
i believe the male equivalent is “fag stag”
Fag Hag…what a new word…!. if a gay guy has a crush to a straight man, it is the most flattering thing…..most straight guys are threaten by the fact that a gay guy find him attractive…..and might arouse his feminine side of him…and that’s wrong…..
Fag stag. The black hair on his stomach is most attractive….
harry potter. oh daniel, i would like to flatter you and flatter you!
Every time more of a hint. Mark my words: It will only be a matter of time before Mr Radcliffe comes out of the closet. he has been dropping soooo many hints already. He just needs to grow up a little bit more, and establish himself as an actor and not just Harry Potter, and get comfortable in his own skin.
He is aching to come out, but he just cannot yet.
