Director David Yates details that the 20-year-old will bare all in a chapter of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' where Ron imagines his worst fear becomes a reality.

Denial had been thrown earlier regarding speculation of Daniel Radcliffe stripping off for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", but director David Yates claimed the otherwise. Providing more details on the story, Video Business reported the helmer has shared that the 20-year-old actor will be in the nude for one particular horcrux scene.

The Emmy Award-winning director went on suggesting that the scene will be the pivotal chapter where a Horcrux locket caused Ron to imagine his worst fears. He detailed, "a horcrux [carrying a piece of Voldemort's soul] defends itself by producing nightmarish visions, and one shows Hermione and Harry embracing and kissing."

The director of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" added, "It's something intriguing and sensual for Rupert [Grint] to react to, and Dan will be bare for that." The unraveling of the nude scene was made during the promotional effort for the upcoming release of "Half-Blood Prince" DVD and Blu Ray.

Back in November, representative for Daniel Radcliffe has debunked the story published in Sorrisi e Canzoni wherein David Yates was quoted as saying, "Daniel Radcliffe appears naked in one scene where Harry and Ron are fighting a magical creature, who fled to confuse and create a vision." At the time, the actor's rep branded the report as a "complete fabrication".

Daniel Radcliffe is reprising his role as Harry Potter in the last two installments of "Harry Potter" franchise, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II". "Part I" will come out in the U.S. on November 19, 2010, whereas "Part II" is set for July 15, 2011 release. Both movies has David Yates on the directing seat, and Rupert Grint and Emma Watson reprising their roles as Ron and Hermione.
