Tabloids love exploiting (and paraphrasing and exaggerating) quotes about celebrities to hype up stories and increase readership. Doing so about Harry Potter isn't new, and the Daily Record hit a home run yesterday by claiming
star Daniel Radcliffe is "dreading his naked screen debut" in November's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Jenna from DanRadcliffe.com, from whose interview the Daily Record lifted quotes and based their story, tells it straight:
Just to clarify this mess they've created - At no time was Dan naked or did he say he was for the Prefect's Bath scene. They took a quote from my article and turned it into something it's not.
Not only did they lift quotes from my interview without permission, they did so without giving credit as if it were their own interview... and then took it and twisted it. Yet another reason why none of you should ever put any trust into anything you read in one of these tabloid rubbish liners.
Well said, Jenna.

They'll do anything to sell an issue, won't they? Absolutely ridiculous and a big fat lie as well. That alone should get them into trouble, if anyone were to bother to press charges. Way to go, Jenna, for defending the real information in your article!!!

Stupid tabloids. Why would he be naked, there is absolutely no need for him to be anyways, because they didn't show anything. Besides this is a movie for almost all ages, and kids are going to watch it too.

Well, it looks like these tabloids have taking a liking to Rita Skeeter! My Gosh the way these nasty tabliods turn facts around, just to get peoples attention. It's disgusting. I'm glad Dan dosen't really read the tabliods, cause if he did what and embarressmanet it would be to him, WEL then thank you Jenna, for staning up for his rights, and, so sorry to here that you got ripped off, of your interview!

Haha! I assumed he wore some sort of bathing suit. Tabloids love to turn the simpliest thing into a fiasco. What a crock.

They would never make a sixteen year old actor be totally naked! There are a million and one ways around that!! And I hate it when tabloids twist things.

I hate when tabloids stretch the truth for random nonsense. It just seems wrong what they did to Dan. Anything for a buck.

I feel terrible for Jenna. Both she and the members at DanRadcliffe.com are so excited about her exclusive interview with Dan. It's awful that this tabloid trash magazine had to go and ruin it. I'm sure Dan and his family roll with the punches on stuff like this since it's probably not the first time a great interview was twisted around.
The angle of the article is especially sick because Dan is only 16! I mean, the Daily Record is really stooping to the depths reporting about a supposedly naked minor. Very sick indeed.

I hate when people do that! It is so stupid! If Dan were to be naked I think the rating would be a little different don't you? What rubbish!

He only needed to be naked from the chest up that it. He wasn't completly naked, although that wouldn't be bad, he he.

Tabloids lie? What a shock this is. I don't know anyone who actually believed it was a real nudity scene anyway. It does suck for Jenna that they took from her interview without crediting.

Duh he's not naked...it would be rated like R if he was. Why do people need to care anyway? The scene is going to be just fine without anything like that.

Umm, that's good to know? I don't really see why it matters. People should worry about more important rather than if Dan is naked or not.
