Daniel Radcliffe heated up chilly Park City, Utah on Friday night, where his new movie Kill Your Darlings had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
The Harry Potter star appears in the film fully nude in an explicit sex scene with co-star Dane DeHaan.
Radcliffe portrays Allen Ginsberg in director John Krokidas’ feature-length debut about the 1944 murder of David Kammerer (Michael C. Hall) that brought Ginsberg together with fellow beat generation poets Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and William Burroughs (Ben Foster).

The 23-year-old actor is seen using drugs, receiving oral sex from a woman in a library, and sharing a steamy kiss with another young man – but it was the graphic sex scene with DeHaan that had the audience buzzing.
Radcliffe told People last year he had no qualms about shooting the explicit gay sex. “There was no discomfort,” he said. “There have been moments when Dane and I did start giggling.”
Radcliffe went skinny-dipping in Lake Ontario last summer for a nighttime scene in the Toronto-shot film The F Word. In 2007 he went fully nude on stage in a London production of Equus.
He told Time Out he’ll strip naked for audiences as long as he’s asked. “If they want me naked at 80, they’ll get it,” he said. “The real question is at what age will people stop asking me and I’m sure that will be in a few years.”
