After the Sundance Film Festival, Radcliffe talked about the audience being shocked by gay sex scenes in the film.
“What weirded me out the most last night was people were asking me all these questions about the gay sex scenes. I was like, 'You know I did Equus?” he told MTV News at the time. “Some people are asking me questions like this is a more shocking subject, which is so strange.”
