Daniel Radcliffe says shooting a scene where a fictionalized Weird Al Yankovic goes on a drug trip and hatches from an egg is the second strangest thing he’s ever done onscreen.
“Everybody who’s an Elton John fan knows it was inspired by Long John Baldry,” Yankovic said. “I guess they thought nobody knows who Long John Baldry is.”, including how he came up with his song “My Bologna.” “I did record it in a bathroom but not in a bus station,” Yankovic confirmed. “Why did we change it? Just ’cause that’s what biopics do.”also features Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, who did not participate in the film.
The clip featured Aaron Paul, Gary Cole, Olivia Wilde, Mary Steenburgen, and Patton Oswalt. The film version stars Rainn Wilson as Yankovic’s mentor Dr. Demento, and Julianne Nicholson and Toby Huss as the musical funnyman’s parents. The project was announced back in January, with some typically irreverent comments from Yankovic, who said: “When my last movie, ‘UHF,’ came out in 1989, I made a solemn vow to my fans that I would release a major motion picture every 33 years, like clockwork. I’m very happy to say we’re on schedule, and I am absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying me in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for.
