“Weird Al” Yankovic hopes that you have no idea where the line between truth and outrageous fiction lies is in his upcoming biopic starring Daniel Radcliffe.
that dropped last month in which a even-more-lascivious-than-usual Madonna cannot control herself around the “Another One Rides the Bus” singer, therefers to the film as “a wildly satirical, highly nonfactual” re-telling of Yankovic’s journey from a dorky teen accordionist to one of the world’s first, and only, global song satire superstars.
Because although the piece points out that the lanky, long-haired musician and the “compact” London-born actor bear no resemblance to each other in real life, on the set of the Roku original biopic there was sometimes confusion when crew members came in search of “Weird Al,” when they were actually looking for Radcliffe. The solution? They started calling the parody master “Real Al” to clear any potential mix-ups.
“Every time I would walk by the ‘Weird Al’ sign on your trailer, I’d be like,” Al said as he mimed a comedically large double-take, “Oh, no, that’s not me.” The film got its start in 2010 when Appel wrote and directed a cheeky‘s Aaron Paul as a party-hearty version of the singer. “Weird Al” started playing the trailer at his shows, where some fans apparently thought it was an ad for an actual biopic. Even though Yankovic assured them it was a “gag,” after the recent success of Freddie Mercury and Elton John biopics, Yankovic started to think maybe the joke was on him.
In fact, some of the fictions are so over-the-top that Yankovic said, “I’m amazed the lawyers let us get away with this movie, frankly… But they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, all public figures… go for it.'”
