Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe is looking sexier more and more these days. Check him out in the October 2008 issue of Details magazine.
On his dream role: “I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.”
On his generation: “I don’t pretend to do anything particularly wild. People talk about rebellion and they say, ‘Where is the teenage angst?’ But I say I try to do it simply by the choices I make in the work I do. I just like wrong-footing people. I write poetry and I love it. I like being different from most other people in my generation.”
On what he’s going to spend his big bucks on: “The only thing I’m likely to spend on is artwork, ’cause that’s the only thing I’m interested in that costs a lot of money. [The Golf GTI is] a good, small German car that zips around.”
In the new issue of Details magazine, Shia LaBeouf talks openly about his drinking problem, which couldn’t come at a better time since he just got busted for a DUI.
On regularly smoking and drinking with his dad:
“We would drink together and smoke together, and it’s just a bad deal.”
On being a habitual drinker:
“It’s not something that is conducive to being a role model. … And I don’t know how to do it like a gentleman. I don’t know how to have one drink.”
Shia also talks about his Walgreens incident:
“It was two hotheads. One completely in the wrong, one who wasn’t enjoying his job that night, going at it about minuscule bullshit.”
The full story appears in the September 2008 issue, which hits newsstands Monday, August 5th. Check out Details.com tomorrow for the complete interview.
FYI: Shia was chosen for the magazine’s cover before the DUI incident. “It’s already gone to print and everything,” a rep for the mag says. “Just coincidence in timing!”
Hot Scottish actor James McAvoy, best known for his break-out performance in Atonement, is starring in the new action-packed film Wanted, along side Angelina Jolie. In the August 2008 issue of Details magazine, James opens up about being critical, the types of movies he hopes to make, and what it’s like working with Angelina Jolie.
On being critical:
“I judge people very quickly,” he says. “There was someone I worked with recently who, within five minutes, displayed all the attributes of a fucking dick, and I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Weeks later I was still there, going ‘You’re so fucking self-obsessed.’ I’ve spent a long time giving people the benefit of the doubt, and I’m tired of it.”
On the types of movies he likes to star in:
“I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man’s action franchise like Bourne.”
“Hugh Grant is f—ing great and he’s funny. I like romantic comedies. I’ve been in one and I f—ing loved it. I got to show off and I got to be a d—. It’s always fun to play d—. That’s why I loved Last King(of Scotland) —I got to be such a wanker.”
On being cast in Wanted alongside Angelina Jolie:
“I think inside all actors, there’s a kid who secretly yearns to jump off buildings and say ‘Yippeekayay, motherf—er!’ I also thought that the fact that they were willing to cast someone like me showed a willingness to step outside the usual action-movie realm.”
Christian Bale is on the July issue of Details magazine. In the issue he opens up about being in the Dark Knight, never having a plan B, and always swimming against the current.
Christian reveals that in order to wear the Batman suit he had to meditate before putting it on because he didn’t want claustrophobia to cost him the role. He admits he was terrified the first time he put the iconic black suit on and had to learn to over come his fear. He said:
“I was standing on the back lot where they were creating the suit, and I had a few minutes to myself… just thinking, `This isn’t going to work. I’m claustrophobic, I can’t breathe, I’m getting a headache already, and this is all going to go very badly.’”
”I just said to myself, `Breathe deeply for a few minutes. Try this out. Don’t run around yelling and making an ass of yourself trying to pull the whole thing off.’ I wasn’t going to get it off by myself. It takes three people. I just had flashes of what an as*h*le I would feel like saying, `Well, I wasn’t able to play that character, because I panicked every time I got in the suit.’”
On his Dark Knight co-star Heath Ledger he says:
“He was incredibly intense in his performance but incredibly mellow and laid-back. Certainly there was this great anarchistic streak to it - just getting dirtier than anybody’s envisioned the Joker before. Naturally, (the movie) was something I wanted to share with him - and expected to do so. And I can’t do anything else but hope that it will be an absolutely appropriate celebration of his work.”

Ashton Kutcher is on the May issue of Details magazine. In the issue he opens up about his life as a kid, growing up with a twin, what it’s like being married to Demi Moore, and his acting career.
Here is a portion of Ashton’s interview. View the rest at www.Details.com.
His twin brother, Michael, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
“I was the kid with the big Coke-bottle glasses, the hearing aid,” says Michael Kutcher, who still lives in Iowa, where he sells retirement plans. “There was a lot of teasing, a lot of the normal mean stuff.”
Ashton adds,
“That was a big part of my life, kind of looking out for my twin.”
On feeling trapped in the role of the “dumb handsome guy.”
“I started to get this attitude about being funny, like, are you laughing at me or with me?”
He talked about the moment he decided to get serious with Demi,
“I’ve literally just been voted the world’s most eligible bachelor and I’m like, I’m going off the market. I’ve found the one. If I had thought about it, I would have been like, Nah, nah. But what can you do? When you’re in that deep, you can’t think. She was the first person who would call me on my s**t. She didn’t need me. She straight up didn’t need me. She wanted me, but she didn’t need me, so she could put it on the line.”
Details magazine has named Kevin Federline the “Father of the Year!” The magazine praised 29 year old Kevin for stepping up his fathering skills. Kevin’s friends insist that he’s always been a great father.
A pal said: “He is an all-round great dad. For most guys in Kevin’s situation, home would be the ultimate bachelor pad. But for Kevin, he made it all about the kids. He’s got toys everywhere. You can totally tell it’s all about the kids at home.”
Uh, what? ‘For most guys in Kevin’s situation, home would be the ultimate bachelor pad’??? Uh, hello?–How many kids does he have!?! He hasn’t been a ‘bachelor’ in years dude! He had his first child with Shar Jackson back in 2002!
This is a joke right? Kevin Federline could not possibly be ‘Father of the Year.’ I mean, yeah, he is stepping up to the plate, finally, and seems to want what’s best for his kids; but, father of the year? Haha….I’m not buying it!
Brit is partly crazy due to this man. I mean who wouldn’t have a break down after finding out that your party-hungry, no good, gold-digging ex-husband has sole custody over your children?
Do you ever see him with his other children that he had with Shar Jackson?– Nope. ‘Father of the Year’ my ass. He is only taking the children because the cameras are always in his face ready to see if he will actually be a man and raise the pop princess’ babies while she figures out how to get her life in order.
