chinae has posted more pics of Dan from the Equus promo shots. This is my first time on LJ today, so this may be old news by now.
But still. Oh my.
I'm getting used to it, but it still feels weird to look at him and see such a hot body. He's clearly worked hard on those abs. They deserve an icon, I'm thinkin'.
Those pics are even winning over everyone on ohnotheydidnt which is notorious for slamming Dan. Most of the commenters are all "OMG when did he get hot?" and "Oook, having pervy thoughts about Harry Potter is weird!"
But then there's this whole subset of "But he's 12!" comments that I don't get. Dude, time passes. People grow up and become hot after being 12. Is this a foreign concept?
There's also puzzling slamming of his body hair, which I think is perfect...not too much, not too little.
I can't stop thinking how good he looks. Our boy has grown into a really nice (extremely nice) man. His abs are to die for, I guess he has been a few hours at the gymn. Thanks for the link.
Oh dear. The second picture on that page is just. Guh. I having cognitive dissonance with these, because I just saw the first Harry Potter movie last weekend, and he was a baby, and now. Guh.
I usually avoid ONTD, because reading the comments usually annoys me. I went and looked just now, and yep -- annoying. But still more positive than usual!
I've never understood that weird abhorrence of body hair. I like it. I think it's masculine. Fangirls aren't into bears, though. ;-)
He does look like he's been working out in a very serious way. Of course, if I knew I was going to be appearing naked on stage, I'd hire a personal trainer too. ;-)
LOL, I know! I felt the same way about Lindsay Lohan. She was this adorable little kid in The Parent Trap, and the next thing I knew there were pictures of her bare snatch on the internet. :-P
Wtf. Are those girls aware that men usually do have body hair. Even on our faces. That's right. We even have to shave our faces. How fucked up, huh? ;D
I'm glad for his hair. Thankful for it. Makes me feel just a little bit less like an old pervy man.
I know -- he's not that hairy at all, and yet some people are acting as if it's gross.
I've always been suspicious of overdone hair-abhorrence as some kind of weird neurosis about maturity and idealization of pubescent body types
Oh, me too. The recent shots of Britney et al with bare crotches was disturbing to me in that way, because the message it sends is that pubic hair is gross and bare is somehow better. But that hair is a sign of maturity -- why is the ideal for a woman to look like an 8-year-old girl from the waist down?
LOL! My brain feels fuzzy, like I shouldn't be seeing such things as his ripped abs! hahahah... not that I haven't read much more detailed porn, but...
Am I the only person who saw them and after the drooling thought "hah! Sooo sucking it in!"? Just slightly. I mean, he looks good, but I think there's definite breathing in going on - you can see his ribs in a lot of shots...
I wonder if he realizes how much these pics ran an entire fandom crazy. Now THAT's a way to change an image. I look forward to have those pics in mind when I'll read DH...
Is having 2 Elijahs really such a bad thing?? ;) I for one think WOW. :) Elijah took awhile to start looking his age and Dan in a way has actually by-passed Lij in the growing up phase of life. Both are HOT don't get me wrong. Lij is some 8 or 9 years older and still looks like a little boy sometimes. Dan I think will probably get there faster. Hopefully he'll grow up very nice looking. Some guys grow up and just don't look as good looking as they did when they were younger. Shame. :(
Wow, I agree - definitely disturbing. In the play, the horse is to be played by the actor and dancer Will Kemp - www.willkemp.org - not a real life equine! Brings a whole new meaning to "My Little Pony" ;) I wish I was going to be in London when Equus opens - thinks, where's the nearest train station and can I get time off work...?

You want sexy, just-right body hair? Jake Gyllenhaal in his myriad shirtless pics. Nice and hairy, but not TOO hairy.
See icon.

MDH is pretty furry, and I like it. ;-)
