Daniel Radcliffe to portray 'Weird Al' Yankovic in biopic

And Deadline provided further context:

"Known for pastiching and parodying the works of his musical contemporaries, Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time. A five-time Grammy winner, his 2014 release Mandatory Fun was the first comedy album in history to debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200. He is one of only three artists to land top 40 hits in each of the last four decades—the others being Michael Jackson and Madonna. 

"The Yankovic biopic promises to hold nothing back and explore every facet of his life, from his childhood through his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like 'Eat It' and 'Like a Surgeon,' while touching on his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle. Yankovic is producing alongside Mike Farah, Joe Farrell and Whitney Hodack for Funny Or Die, and Tim Headington, Lia Buman and Max Silva for Tango. [Eric] Appel is exec producing with Funny Or Die’s Henry Muñoz III and Tango’s Neil Shah."

In the meantime, Radcliffe can be seen in HBO Max's "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts," streaming now, followed by "The Lost City" this spring.
