\u2018Weird\u2019 Al Yankovic taught Daniel Radcliffe how to play the accordion.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old actor plays the musician in the biopic \u201cWeird: The Al Yankovic Story\u201d and recalled how Yankovic taught him how to play the instrument in preparation for the part.<\/p>\n

Radcliffe told IndieWire at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Eric Appel\u2019s film: \u201cHonestly, the thing that we worked on the most together was the accordion.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe gave me some accordion lessons, which is something that I can take to my grave that I had that moment. I don\u2019t need anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radcliffe does not expect audiences to take \u201ca moral\u201d from the film but hopes the spoof helps people delve into their own \u201cweirdness\u201d.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHarry Potter\u201d star said: \u201cThis is not a movie that we expect you to sit down and take a moral from the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if there\u2019s something to it, it\u2019s about leaning into your own weirdness and that being a way of finding your own happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radcliffe continued: \u201c(Yankovic) is so authentically himself and that has led to this wonderful film, as well as his incredible career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evan Rachel Wood portrays pop icon Madonna in the film but doubts the singer will react to the movie.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI don\u2019t think she\u2019s going to respond at all. She has other things on her mind and other things to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old actress continued: \u201cI love Madonna. I\u2019ve met her before. We\u2019ve been very friendly. So I think we\u2019re cool. I\u2019m hoping we\u2019re cool. And the good news is nothing in this movie actually happened, so I\u2019m a little safe there.\u201d<\/p>\n
