Elvis might’ve had the box office all shook up this summer, and you know we’re hung up on Madonna’s upcoming movie, but there’s another musical biopic that’s currently got our full attention: Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.Yes, even the curly-haired, accordion-playing king of parody songs is getting his story told in glossy movie form, and it has one ace up its Hawaiian-shirt-sleeve in the form of Daniel Radcliffe as Al—looking hotter than ever, we might add.The former child star of The Franchise That Shall Not Be Named has long proven himself a legit actor in his own right, taking on a number of challenging and strange roles over the last decade.

He’s also, it should be said, gotten in great shape, putting those wizarding days far behind him.Thankfully, the marketing team behind Weird seems to be well aware of this, as they’ve repeatedly featured Radcliffe’s taut body in film promo—most recently in this new photo of Al showing off his gold records, shirts, and abs to the one and only Oprah, played here by Abbott Elementary creator/star and Emmy darling Quinta Brunson.This comes a few months after the movie’s trailer dropped, which, among other things, gave us our first glimpse of a ripped Radcliffe as Al, shirtless and downing liquor on stage like a true rock star.What’s going on here?

We certainly don’t remember Yankovic being that jacked in real life (No, that Rambo scene in UHF definitely doesn’t count).Well, if we had to guess, the movie about a satirical songwriter is probably in on the joke, playing up its “weird” hero as a total sex symbol, even as it reminds us that Yankovic really did have a pretty wild ride to fame.
