Daniel Radcliffe on learning to play the accordion from Weird Al himself, 'It was probably roughly about a month between me learning the verse of 'My Bologna' and the chorus, so my girlfriend was living in a perpetual hellscape.' TIFF

as the comedy made its world premiere as the clock struck midnight at the Toronto International Film Festival.

It was a full house at the theater and the crowd ate up every second of the parody biopic, cheering loudly for every surprise cameo at the first “backstory” behind Yankovic’s biggest hits from “My Bologna” to “Eat It.” Some of the most raucous applause was saved for the Radcliffe-fronted rendition of “Amish Paradise.”

Yankovic, Appel, Radcliffe and Wood took the stage after the screening to breakdown everything the audience had just consumed and answer their pressing Weird Al questions. So, how did Radcliffe learn to play Yankovic’s iconic accordion?The actor studied the complicated instrument with a teacher and even took a few lessons with the parody master himself. “Al sent me some accordion lessons over email,” Radcliffe said. “And, you know, I did what I could. It’s a very hard instrument.

The feature length version features Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna — who embarks on a torrid love affair with the accordion player — with Toby Huss and Julianne Nicholson play the “Eat It” and “White & Nerdy” singer’s parents. Rainn Wilson plays radio broadcaster Dr. Demento, who helped bring Yankovic to the mainstream by playing his music on his show, while Quinta Brunson makes an appearance as Oprah Winfrey.
