Ok people, Let’s get weird.
I initially questions the decision to have Daniel Radcliff play classic parody artist Weird Al Yankovic in the upcoming biopic, but he sure seems to have a handle on the situation.
“I’m tired of people thinking I’m some kind of joke,” Radcliffe’s Yankovic says in the trailer, before confessing his lifelong dream to his friends. “My whole life, all I’ve wanted, is to make up new words to a song that already exists.”
From there, we see the Yankovic begin to craft “My Bologna,” his 1983 parody of The Knack’s 1979 hit “My Sharona.”
In a statement earlier this year, Weird Al gave the Harry Potter alum his blessing, saying at the time that he was “absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying” him.
“I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for,” the “White & Nerdy” singer, 62, said.
