Daniel Radcliffe is a man of many talents. He once defeated the greatest dark wizard the world has ever known. And he took his pants off on stage for an entire theatre run of Equus, in which he played a guy who’s sexually attracted to horses. AND he's going to be on James Barr's heat Radio show today.But did you know he’s also extremely good at rapping?
Dan appeared on last night’s Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and showed off his skillz by rapping Blackalicious’ Alphabet Aerobics in its entirety – and not even screwing up once.
“I’ve always had an obsession with memorising complicated and intricate fast songs,” he told Jimmy, who stood behind him holding up alphabet cards.
As part of his promotional run ahead of the release of his new film Horns, the 25-year-old former Harry Potter star also did an Ask Me Anything session with Reddit users.
In the thread, he admitted to being pranked by both Alan Rickman and Michael Gambon during filming for Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, writing:
“There's — in the third film — there's a shot in the great hall of all the kids sleeping in the great hall, and the camera starts very very wide, and comes in so that it's an inch from my face, a very long developing set, yeah, and Alan Rickman decided he would plant one of those fart machines in my, uh, sleeping bag, and they waited until, like, the camera had come in for this huge DRAMATIC developing shot, and then unleashed this tremendous noise in the great hall.
“I immediately thought: "This is one of the other kids f**king around, and we were going to get in trouble."
“But as it turns out, it was one of the members of Britain's acting royalty.”
Incredible. And we’ve found the video, right here, so. You’re welcome.
