Still trying his best to shake off the Harry Potter tag, Daniel Radcliffe will star in 'Kill Your Darlings' where he has a love scene with rising young star and confessed BFF (best friend forever) Dane DeHaan.

The movie is about the early college years of Allen Ginsberg, an American poet and one of the top figures of the "beat generation."

He shares insights on the film, and his bond with co-actor Dane DeHaan in an interview with The Vulture:

On whether 'Kill Your Darlings' is a gay love story: "It's a love story. I always like to make that point. To my knowledge, there's no difference between how gay people and how straight people fall in love. So you just have to find that part of Dane, or of Dane's character, that Allen was in love with. Which is that charismatic, outgoing boldness that he had that Allen didn't have. And you kind of focus in on that and make that the part of the character that you always see. Basically, when people talk about chemistry, often what they mean is just being interested in the other person."

On the sex scene in particular (from Huffington Post): "The only difference it made was obviously the actual sex scene, of course... I was talked through it by the director. He would be telling me what I would be feeling in each take. Basically, gay sex, especially for the first time, is really f**king painful. And [Krokidas] said that he had never seen that portrayed accurately on film before. He wanted it to look like an authentic loss of virginity."

On how he bonded with co-star Dane De Haan off the camera: "We've got a very similar approach to acting, I think. But also we have a huge amount of respect for everyone on set, not just actors. I don't think I could ever be friends with somebody who didn't have respect for everyone on set. That's the one thing I actually can't stand. But also, silly shit, like we've both got quite stupid, silly senses of humor. We also talk football a lot as well.
