Daniel Radcliffe’s Buff Weird Al Has Everyone Sexually Confused
The Boy Who Lived becomes The Boy Who Got Ripped in the first footage of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. In one of the year’s most bizarre casting decisions, Daniel Radcliffe was recently announced as the first A-List actor to star as Weird Al Yankovic in an upcoming Roku Channel biopic, and now, we’re finally getting to see that vision—and it’s about as bizarre as you’d expect.
Unless, of course, you expected Daniel Radcliffe with insanely chiseled abs and biceps with a Weird Al perm to stir extreme, if confusing, levels of sexual attraction.
It’s hard to describe what Daniel Radcliffe looks like in this first clip, but it’s certainly not Weird Al Yankovic. Harry Potter picking up a side gig as a clown at a kid’s birthday party? The grown-up, buff, musically talented version of Jonah Hill’s character from Superbad? A Weird Al impersonator on a budget?
