Daniel Radcliffe is all set to take on the bright lights of Hollywood by opening himself to more challenging roles. Reportedly, the White & Nerdy singer handpicked Radcliffe to step into his shoes for the film after the former came across an old clip of the actor singing Tom Lehrer’s song The Elements in front of Colin Farrell and Rihanna during a 2010 appearance on The Graham Norton Show.

Revealing in an interview with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March, Radcliffe said, "I guess Al saw that and was like, ‘This guy maybe gets it.’ And so he picked me. So I’m very, very lucky, and now I’ve gotten to have accordion lessons with Al".

The makers even released the teaser of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story which saw Daniel Radcliffe in a unique avatar as he sported curly hair and a moustache and netizens can wait to see him in an all-new avatar. Watch the trailer here:
