According to The Mirror, Radcliffe is “really good” at falling over and acting as though he is being attacked:
“If I joined the circus, undoubtedly I’d be the fall guy in the clown routine,” he said. “I’m really good at falling over and taking hits and, perversely, I enjoy it.”
He reportedly said that being the victim of the punches (rather than the attacker) is his “speciality”:
“Weirdly I haven’t had to deliver many punches throughout my career so I’m very good at being beaten and getting hit. That’s my speciality.”
The Mirror also reports that Dan found the action scenes in Victor Frankenstein easier to shoot than the “emotional” scenes:
“The final emotional scenes of the film with Igor and Victor were more challenging. You put pressure on yourself and think, ‘This has to go right’. Because if you don’t nail this part, none of the action matters.”
Dan’s is currently working on his portrayal of a young, undercover FBI agent in Imperium, an FBI thriller – maybe we’ll get to see more of his fight-scene specialty moves!
The ‘Indie-Dramedy’ Swiss Army Man – Radcliffe’s next appearance – premieres at the Sundance Film Festival between January 21-31st.
