Behind-the-scenes footage showing Daniel Radcliffe going ‘feral’ while acting on set has gone viral across social media.
Following the conclusion of the Harry Potter films in 2011, Radcliffe has made a habit of taking on roles in small, independent and sometimes frankly bizarre films and TV shows.
Between working on movies such as The Lost City and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, the 34-year-old has been a recurring cast member on the TBS comedy show Miracle Workers.

The anthology series was originally created by American novelist Simon Rich in 2019 and has seen Radcliffe play characters such as Prince Chauncley and Reverend Ezekiel Brown.
In the most recent series, subtitled End Times, the father-of-one portrays Sid - a road warrior and newlywed who is hoping to make roots in the post-apocalyptic setting of Boomtown.
For those who are yet to have a taste of the show, French-American actor Stef Nico has been doing the most by posting behind-the-scenes content to TikTok.
In one video, shared with his followers, Nico showed Radcliffe psyching up to let loose and go crazy on camera.
In the 45-second clip, the actor begins screaming in faux rage before ripping off his vest and whipping off his pants.
While standing in his kecks, Radcliffe threw his head back and let out wild screams before running off the set with his hands waving in the air.
TikTok users have since jumped on the comments section of the viral clip to praise Radcliffe and discuss his dedication to weird and wonderful roles.
One wrote: “He has truly my (sic) favorite career path of all time. He made a lifetime's worth of money early in life and now he just takes roles that he loves for fun.”
A second agreed and wrote: “The fact that he can get worked up that quickly and make it look believable is wild. He's truly so talented.”
“Let this be the video that gets him the role of Wolverine,” said another.
“I was fully convinced this was the scene in Goblet of Fire right before he goes out to fight the dragons and boy oh boy was I wrong,” joked one TikTok user.
In another clip posted by Stef Nico, Radcliffe could be seen engaging with a green screen insert in his underwear - presumably just after filming the previous wild scene.
While this video hasn’t been as popular on the social media platform, it has attracted a comment from one fan who wrote: “Love where his career has brought him. Making things because you think they’re fun is top-tier goals.”
Miracle Workers: End Times season three and four is available to stream on Now TV via Sky Comedy until 25 October.
