After a series of ABS-CBN Kapamilya stars shirtless like Gerald Anderson, Enchong Dee and Angel Locsin (LOL), it’s the GMA Kapuso fans turn to be delighted. Let me present to you GMA’s Drama Prince, JC De Vera shirtless and sexy. JC De Vera decided to do his first daring role on television becoming the second star offering of Obra, Katrina Halili being the first. JC De Vera’s Obra first episode is that of a macho dancer in “Pretty Boy.” Then the second week shifts to comedy in the episode “Daddy Dearest,” about a young man set to get married without any problem, until he discovers that his father and uncle are gay. The third episode, JC De Vera plays a kind-hearted young man who ends up behind bars because of injustice in the episode Rehas. And the last episode where JC De Vera is featured in Obra, JC portrays a disabled person who searches for love and miracle in Liwanag sa Dilim.The Philippines top notch directors, Joel Lamangan, Maryo J. Delos Reyes, Mac Alejandre, and Jun Lana megged these episodes, truly making every episode an Obra.

Obra is shown Thursdays after GMA 7’s primetime programming.

Promotional photos of Daniel Radcliffe for his Broadway stage play Equus has been released. In it is Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe shirtless. And Harry Potter is really Hairy Potter, lol. Daniel Radcliffe plays in a more mature role in Equus as a way to distinguish from his screen persona and from the Harry Potter character typecast. Daniel Radcliffe appears actually nak3d in Equus. The stage play can be summed up to be about a stable-hand who has erotic feelings for a horse.

In the long form, Equus is about the story of a deeply disturbed 17-year-old boy, and the psychiatrist who attempts to treat him. Psychiatrist Martin Dysart played by Tony Award winner Richard Griffiths, investigates the blinding of six horses, a savage act committed by a mild-mannered stable boy, Alan Strange played by Daniel Radcliffe, whose home life is filled with bigotry and religious fervor. “As Dysart reveals the mysteries behind the boy’s demons, he realizes he is confronting his own.” That’s so Silence of the Lambs!

Daniel Radcliffe will be back in the Harry Potter franchise soon with the showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
