Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe, now 33, portrays the comedy songwriter in the parody biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story with Evan Rachel Wood playing Madonna.  We went back into our extensive archives of exclusive HFPA interviews to see how the British actor, then 12 and 13-years-old, together with his young co-stars, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, talked to the journalists of the Hollywood Foreign Press about playing Harry Potter in the first two movies of the saga based on the novels by J.

Expectations were high when packed theatres screened the much-hyped biopic, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, at the Toronto Film Festival. This was, after all, the story of the legendary parody songsmith who had hit records changing the lyrics to famous songs including Eat It (Michael Jackson’s Beat It), Another One Rides the Bus (Queen’s Another One Bites the Dust) and My Bologna (The Knack’s My Sharona).

Daniel Radcliffe adds to his phenomenal acting career with a role in the offbeat comedy TV series Miracle Workers. His foray into episodic TV bowed at Sundance before its premiere on TBS next month and is the latest twist in the professional path of former – and forever – Harry Potter who incredibly will be turning 30 in July.

“It’s definitely not Harry Potter,” laughs Daniel Radcliffe of his role as college-aged Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in KIll Your Darlings. Hear what he has to say about this true crime story, which also stars Michael C.
