'Horns' star Daniel Radcliffe raps the 'Alphabet Aerobics' for Jimmy Fallon! Did he do a good job?
Who would have thought that the angst-filled teenager in the 'Harry Potter' can spit verses from the 'Alphabet Aerobics' like it's the most natural thing in the world?
He appeared on 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Falon' last week to promote his new movie, 'Horns.' During the show, the British actor confessed that he's a huge fan of hip hop which always "surprises a lot of people."
"I think I was the first kid in my class to learn all the words to 'Real Slim Shady,'" the 'Harry Potter' alum further revealed about his affinity for the genre.
Why does he like Eminem and hip hop?
"I've always had kind of an obsession with memorizing complicated, lyrically intricate and fast songs, I guess," the chatty actor said. "It's a disease."
Having known the 'What If' star's "obsession" with "fast songs," Jimmy Fallon couldn't pass up a chance to actually hear Daniel Radcliffe rap 'Alphabet Aerobics.' The late night show host naturally asked the actor to perform the Blackalicious song in front of the studio audience.
Backed by The Roots, the 25-year-old showed off how awesome he was by rapping what Fallon believed is one of the "trickiest, fastest songs" ever.
As Daniel Radcliffe rapped to 'Alphabet Aerobics,' the audience became even more impressed with the young actor. As the performance ended, viewers giving him a well-deserved standing ovation.
When he is not memorising the lyrics to a crazily fast rap song, the self-confessed workaholic makes up possible scenarios with "bad pun names for films." He shared that he wants action star Dwayne Johnson to work with him in this imaginary future project.
"I harbor a not-so-secret desire to somehow find a part for me and Dwayne Johnson to play in the same movie," Radcliffe admitted. "My initial thought was like a buddy cop movie about two unlikely partners who are forced to work together."
He added, "We decided a buddy cop movie about two cops that are joined over their love of music should be called 'Siren Song.' It's not a musical movie!"
He also asked, "Wouldn't you like to see me and The Rock do that?"
