Daniel Radcliffe: I Want To Play Iggy Pop

Former Harry Potter star wants to play rock icon...

Daniel Radcliffe has gone to great lengths to show off his acting versatility since he hung up his cloak as Harry Potter.

The former child star has played beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings and a (literally) demonised young man in arty new movie Horns.

But the 25-year-old has revealed that he hopes to take on an even more surprising role - playing rock icon Iggy Pop.

Asked about who he'd like to portray on screen, he told US radio broadcaster Eric J Lawrence on KCRW that the Iggy & The Stooges frontman was his top pick.

"We've got a similar, gnarly, sort of slightly strange, skinny bodies," he explained.

And Iggy's famous penchant for getting his - ahem - wand out on stage is unlikely to phase D-Rad - who has previously appeared starkers in the play Equus.

He even joked recently that he "can't get enough" of getting naked for his art.
