    The upcoming biopic of musician “Weird” Al Yankovic has released a first look at their star. You know you’ve been waiting to see Daniel Radcliffe with an accordion. We certainly were. Kinda wish it was him playing, not gonna lie.

    Released earlier today by Roku, the single image features Radcliffe sporting Yankovic’s iconic glasses, curly mop of hair, and mustache.

    “Wearing the Hawaiian shirt is a huge responsibility that I don’t take lightly,” Radcliffe told Deadline. “I’m honored to finally share with the world the absolutely 100 percent unassailably true story of Weird Al’s depraved and scandalous life.”

    “Weird: The Weird Al Story” will be a Roku Channel exclusive.

    Filming reportedly kicked off this week. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
