We’ll start off this Radcliffe roundup with developing Daniel. In a recent interview with GQ, he talked about his professional evolution from charming boy wizard Harry Potter to technological villain to bluish farting corpse.

Let’s start out with a bit about his current project which he described as “sort of like The Revenant, but humid,” the interview had an peek into the mindset that took him beyond childhood star into a well-adjusted and versatile actor:

"“It took me a few years to work out my priorities. Now I pick things that I think will make me the most happy, and not try to think, ‘What’s gonna be the most successful thing I can do?’ You can be despondent about the fact that you’re never gonna be in something that big again, but that’s fucking idiotic. I’ve been in the most successful thing I ever will be in, and to me it’s a huge relief. Because you just go, ‘Okay, that’s literally never gonna happen again.'”"

Next up is doppelgänger Daniel. Radcliffe was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. With the help of Reddit, Fallon revealed old photos of different people that looked just like Radcliffe. Funnily many of the photos were of older women, making him comment, “What is it about me that I look like so many stern old ladies?” Fallon picked a photo and had a little dress up session putting on a mustache and long haired wig while Radcliffe wore a large wig and collared shirt.

In dead Daniel news, our hero was spotted in New York with his corpse self. In a pretty eerie looking move, Swiss Army Man is doing a promotional “Manny About Town” tour. Starting on Monday in New York City, Radcliffe rode around on the top of a double-decker bus with his less lively corpsicle twin. The more lively of the two waved and interacted with fans as the bus made its way around town. The corpse’s tour will hit Washington DC, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, and other cities. It doesn’t sound like the real Radcliffe will be doing the rest of the tour, but in a recent interview he explained why he took the role:

"“As an actor, you read so many scripts, and so many of them are the same script. Suddenly, you see a logline which says, ‘A suicidal man befriends a corpse, who then convinces him that life is worth living,’ and you know that you’re being offered the corpse, that is something incredibly exciting. It’s a testament to the Daniels (Swiss Army Man directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) that they can take an idea like that and they have so much imagination, and humor, and kindness. That’s the thing. It’s a deeply compassionate film full of love for humanity and human weirdness. It’s so their vision and so unapologetically their vision. I just think some people, when they see it, are just going to love it.”"

And we will wrap up with a few debonair Daniel photos from the Now You See Me 2 premiere.
