Daniel Radcliffe is almost unrecognizable as Weird Al Yankovic in the first official image for upcoming movie Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
Weird Al Yankovic has shared the first official image from the biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, which has Daniel Radcliffe playing the famed comedic musician. Yankovic has made a career of parodying big-name musicians, such as Michael Jackson, Eminem, and Nirvana, often aping their music videos to hilarious effect, while churning out a number of albums in the process. Yankovic's last album, "Mandatory Fun" won Best Comedy Album at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
Interestingly, Appel directed the live-action short of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story in 2010, which was a fictional biography of Weird Al that parodied other similar musical biographies. The short version starred Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul as Weird Al and co-starred the likes of Olivia Wilde , Gary Cole and Mary Steenburgen as Weird Al's parents, and Patton Oswalt as Dr. Demento.
Radcliffe has had an interesting run of roles since his Harry Potter days and he continues to find new, strange, and off-kilter roles that distance himself from the iconic part. With chatter of a new Harry Potter show in the works at HBO Max and the actor being more than a decade away from the franchise at this point, there's room to explore what a return to that character might be, but it's smart for Radcliffe to keep changing it up as he progresses.
