Daniel Radcliffe is probably best known for his staring role as Harry Potter in the film adaptations of the popular novels.
However, the British actor is also apparently known for his impressive rapping skills which he demonstrated in an interview back in 2014. Who'd have thought it, aye?

In the interview, the actor said people are often surprised when he says he is into rap as reveals he has a real love for it.
Presenter Jimmy Fallon asks Radcliffe what rap he enjoys, to which the actor says: "Initially, I got into Eminem and I was obsessed.
"I think I was the first kid in my class to learn all the words to The Real Slim Shady."
Radcliffe also recommends British rapper Plan B to the American audience and is surprised with the cheers he gets.
Radcliffe continues by saying he is obsessed with learning the lyrics to 'complicated lyrically-intricate fast songs' which he describes as a 'disease'.

Well, the star had just put himself in it as Fallon had a plan to get him to rap on-air.
The presenter asks the actor if he can do the 'Alphabet Aerobics' song, which is certainly a tongue-twister.
Radcliffe confirms he has memorised the song and is then passed a microphone by Fallon, before launching into a performance of the spectacular rap in front of the crowd without making a single mistake.
The audience give him a resounding ovation as he gets through the track in rapid pace.

And of course there was going to be some Harry Potter references, with a fourth comment added: "Eminem: I’m the fastest rapper alive. Daniel: Hold my wand."
