Daniel said that making those “weird” movies has also help to shatter just being known as the actor who played Harry Potter.

“I think one of the best things you can do is get a reputation for being weird, or liking weird things,” he told the magazine. “Because weird sort of begets weird, and as soon as you do something like Horns, the guys who make Swiss Army Man are like, ‘Oh, okay, maybe he’s into that.’”

He went on, “And then people see Swiss Army Man, and they’re like, ‘Oh, Guns Akimbo.’ One thing leads to another and it keeps meaning I get to do random crazy stuff, which I’m always very happy with.”

In the same interview, Daniel also opened up about his latest “weird” film, the Weird Al Yankovic biopic.

“I will be genuinely heartbroken if it’s not as good as I want it to be,” he said. “It’s one of the most fun things I’ve ever shot. It was unbelievably fast. It was shot so quickly that it kind of makes me go, ‘What are we doing on other films?’”

“That was a testament to being prepared, and our amazing director Eric Appel, and yeah, I can’t wait for people to see it. It’ll be a while. But I can’t wait,” Daniel concluded.

This other actor will also be in the movie!
