Daniel Radcliffe talks manscaping

London - Daniel Radcliffe was told to leave his pubic hair untrimmed for a new movie.

The former Harry Potter star has landed a role in an upcoming film playing a Jewish man in the 1940s and has revealed the director told him any "landscaping" of the intimate area was off limits.

Daniel - who appeared naked on stage in Equus - revealed: ''I'm comfortable with my body. It's funny, actually, I've just been having a discussion with the guy who's directing my new project. It might have a bit of nudity and he said, 'Just to let you know, if you're getting naked, no landscaping of any kind. This is the '40s and you're playing a Jew.'

'You have to have something'

''I was like, 'Pretty much there anyway, mate! Not a huge amount of maintenance going on.' I mean, there's a little bit, obviously, for courtesy.''

It seems natural body hair is important for Daniel as he also revealed he doesn't like girls who have Brazilians.

The 22-year-old actor - who is in a relationship with production assistant Rosie Cocker - told this week's heat magazine: "This is way too much information, but I don't like girls with nothing down there either. It freaks me out. You have to have something, otherwise it's fucking creepy."
