‘Harry’ goes bareback

THE theater world loves to buzz about itself, but when Harry Potter is about to walk onto a stage without the bother of a wardrobe, the talk quickly spreads to mainstream media and the blogosphere.

Photos of a shirtless (not to mention rather buff) Daniel Radcliffe have started the chatter well before the Feb. 27 opening of a revival of Peter Shaffer’s “Equus” at the Gielgud Theatre in London’s West End, starring Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths (Tony winner and “Harry Potter’s” nasty Uncle Vernon).

For anyone wondering, Griffiths is fully clothed.
