British actor Daniel Radcliffe told Details magazine that he wants to play role as a drag queen, a character that would allow him to wear a dress and eye makeup.

There is one thing Daniel Radcliffe definitely wants for his future roles, playing as a drag queen. He told Details magazine for its October issue that he would love to play as gender-bender boy. The 19-year-old actor admitted that he wants to wear a dress on the big screen someday.

When Radcliffe was asked about what his dream roles to be, he simply answered, "I think part of me would love to play a drag queen." Explaining the reason, he told the magazine, "just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup."

Radcliffe also revealed that while he was turning Britain's age of consent, 16, he celebrated the birthday with an older girlfriend. He insisted that the age difference between them "wasn't ridiculous." Nevertheless, he admitted that "it would freak some people out."

Having been asked about the character that he plays, Harry Potter which he has been playing for almost his lifelong career, he admitted to the magazine, "whenever I can I want to leave Harry there on the screen. I don't want to bring him into my normal life." About being a normal boy, he said that he does not "pretend to do anything particularly wild." He even added that he would like to be different from others, saying "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."
