"Harry Potter" film series' leading actor Daniel Radcliffe opens up that he is accustomed to showing off his nude body to the public because he grows up "walking around naked" in his house. Furthermore, the 20-year-old star admits that his family never considers nudity a big deal.

"I grew up always walking around naked, well not always, but it was never an issue in my house. I've seen my mum naked, seen my dad naked," the young actor recalls. "I don't actively seek to find them naked, but it's never been a particularly big deal."

Additionally, Radcliffe, who got naked when appearing on Broadway play "Equus" last year, says men are easier to take their clothes off on stage than women. "There's this whole myth that it's easier for me to get naked on stage than it is for women, which is absolute c**p in my opinion," he testifies.

"If there's a naked woman on stage, that's fine, the guys are happy to see a pair of t*ts," Radcliffe continues. "As a man you feel like you're being more assessed which is frankly not the way I'd choose to have my assessment done; in front of 2,000 people every night."
