American musician “Weird Al” Yankovic unveiled Tuesday the first official photo from his upcoming biopic "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story", starring British actor Daniel Radcliffe as the musician.

The photo featured Radcliffe in a big curly wig and glasses to emulate Yankovic’s iconic look. He was also seen in a Hawaiian shirt, an essential part of Yankovic's wardrobe, and playing the accordion.

The biopic will explore every facet of Yankovic’s life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like “Eat It” and “Like a Surgeon” to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle.

“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” is written by Yankovic and Appel.

Appel serves as director and an executive producer.

Yankovic also produces alongside Mike Farah, Joe Farrell, Whitney Hodack for Funny Or Die, and Tim Headington, Lia Buman, and Max Silva for Tango.

Funny Or Die’s Henry Muñoz III and Tango’s Neil Shah will also serve as executive producers.

“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”  will premiere exclusively on The Roku Channel.
