Daniel Radcliffe opens up about odd kissing scene with Paul Dano
Daniel Radcliffe's kissing scene with Paul Dano in bizarre new movie Swiss Army Man was weirder than it should have been, because both actors have kissed each other's girlfriends.
The Harry Potter star plays a dead guy in the wacky castaway film, which became a big hit at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah at the beginning of the year (16), and he admits one scene was stranger than other odd moments for himself and Dano.
"There's this very weird, incestuous triangle thing that has
happened now with my and Paul's girlfriends," he attempts to
explain during a recent appearance on The Jess Cagle Interview. "My
girlfriend, Erin (Darke), played Paul's wife in Love & Mercy, and
Paul's girlfriend, Zoe (Kazan), was with me in What If, and now
Paul and I have also kissed on screen."
Radcliffe admits the film is a little out-there, and not for
everyone, but he's thrilled with the end result, particularly one
scene, in which Dano's character uses his gassy castaway-mate as a
jet-ski.
"There is a scene where he rides me across the water like a jet ski
propelled by gas," Radcliffe giggles. "When you read that, there is
an element of, 'OK, yeah, that could be terrible...' But it could
also be maybe the greatest thing I ever get to be a part of.
"(I thought), 'If I'm sitting here in two years watching someone
else be a part of that scene, how will I feel?' That scene, the
first time I saw it, there were tears of laughter and joy in my
eyes."
