A manly Daniel Radcliffe throws a mean right hook
05th July 2009
We're used to seeing him bruised and bloody after tussling with Voldemort.
But Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe cuts a more manly, menacing and moody figure in the August edition of Esquire.
Dressed in a crumpled suit and sporting a bleeding nose and blackened eye, the actor swings a right-hook for the camera.
In another shot, the 19 year old dons and jeans, a tuxedo jacket combo and a wistful, far-off expression.
Perhaps he was pondering his £12.8m fortune - a sum that propelled him to the top spot in Forbes magazine's recent Rich Tween List.
Daniel - who was catapulted to global superstardom in 2000, aged just ten - is returning to the big screen on July 15, when the sixth Harry Potter installment opens nationwide.
Based on the hit JK Rowling book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince sees the boy wizard battle Voldemort - and share his first kiss with Ginny Weasley.
Off-screen, the actor has been single since splitting with his Equus co-star Laura O'Toole in January last year.
The premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is taking place in Leicester Square on Tuesday.
Rupert Grint - who plays Harry's closest friend Ron Weasley - is due to attend, despite recently succumbing to swine flu.
The 20-year-old actor is said to have fully recovered from the virus, and is now back on set in Hertfordshire for the filming of the seventh and final installment in the franchise, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

The Esquire concept is very strange but somehow it sort of works. Not liking his look at the premiere though, he looks so pale! I used to have the biggest crush on him (I know...) until I realized he was at least 3 inches shorter than me.
Also I like that he's doing the cover of a gay magazine, a lot of male celebrities are really touchy about that kind of thing. He seems like a really nice guy.
