Daniel Radcliffe Catches a Head Rush While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

there's like uh there's like a nice little head rush sometimes when you get that heart fading that's uh that's enjoyable [Music] hey what's going on everybody for first week feast i'm shawn evans and you're watching hot ones it's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings and today we close out another year of the show with daniel radcliffe he's of course known the world over for his role as harry potter in the eight film series as well as his work on broadway tv and film you can catch his latest projects escape from pretoria and the kimmy schmidt interactive special which are both streaming on netflix now daniel radcliffe welcome to the show hello thank you so much for having me um this is both exciting and terrifying let me try to calm you down just a little bit how are you with spicy food like is it something that you reach for do you reach for the hot sauce i mean i i think i do um but i'm now realizing that like and having watched the show and become aware of the scoville scale as a thing i realized that i don't know uh where anything that i've ever eaten pranks on that scale so i think of myself as being someone who likes hot sauce and spicy foods but everything i've ever had might be like at this end over here and and today i will experience what the other end is like so we'll see so long since i've been this like legitimately nervous for energy it's a really cool thing yeah that's crime [Music] so i want to start by talking about your latest film escape from pretoria which tells the real-life story of three political prisoners escaping a prison in south africa in the late 1970s and it really is such a unique and daring escape when you think about your real life conversations with the actual tim jenkin what stands out to you when you think about what he says and how it all actually worked out the amazing thing about tim so for anyone that doesn't know like a little bit about the story um basically what one of the reasons i was so into this film and the script was that it just seemed like it was a true story and it was the true story of one of the most sort of unimaginably brilliant escapes that i ever thought of and i was like how is this not more widely known about tim jenkin the guy i play worked out that the locks were like big enough if i can gather enough like wood from the workshop i can just like make a key that fits out of wood it's a very very cool story how many takes did it take you to unlock the door from inside of your cell using a broomstick attached to a key so many and i'm glad you asked that question because this did not i mean i i will this is like i'm not generally a person who's who is given to bragging or talking myself but i will say i was the only one of us that managed to actually do it um it was definitely like getting to the point where i was like i can do it i can do it and the director was like no we can fake it in editing it's really okay and i was like no no please wait give me one more try and i was like yeah but we really want lunch like can we please stop doing this and uh eventually like i i got i got one complete take which which did make it into the film i was honestly it's like my best work in the film at the moment i'm proudest of [Music] great very happy with it this is all that holding on to this feeling of enjoying them there we go so one of the most underrated british exports are its tv quiz show and panel games which often times spawn popular remakes all over the world as a trivia head yourself how do you explain britain's obsession with the quiz show format so okay first of all british quiz shows on the bbc are my favorite because they because it's a government-funded like thing they can't be seen to be like too crazy with giving away money so like people really aren't just doing it for the love of the quizzes it's one of the holes in my cultural life in america now i definitely do miss um and that's why like i have to say you know jeopardy has really filled that void so very sad about the alex trebek news as the world rightly was yeah let's talk about jeopardy for a second because i know that that's a show that you've made a habit of recording whenever you're in the states did you see in 2014 they had an entire category dedicated to daniel radcliffe i know no that was yeah that was my my attention was drawn to that that was a crazily cool moment the moment i see a question about myself on a quiz show and i don't get excited is the moment i know i've kind of died a little bit inside um because there is just like some weird like hey that's me that's so crazy like um thing that happens that is uh yeah that i i was yeah i was very i was thrilled by that and then of course we have to talk about alex trebek it's been so great to see all these moving tributes to a guy who just seems like he was a part of our lives for decades what in your opinion is the magic of trebek as a host in that quiz show format i think it's that he um he you could really tell how much he like loved the competition and the game of it um and like you know you would see him get like slightly not annoyed but like when you didn't like when when somebody didn't clear a board and when there were still a few questions left or when like nobody ended up with much money because nobody done really well he'd just be like okay well you know we'll come back for double jeopardy after breaking i'm sure we'll all do better then you could tell that he loved seeing people that were really smart do well and that is the essential joy of a quiz show and to be the only person that's ever hosted that i mean i i'm sure they'll find someone you know incredible for that job my god they have gigantic shoes to film wait this is where dj khaled stopped each season we put out different sauces but yeah the equivalent to the third okay no this is okay i'm still i'm i'm still so you've likely spent thousands of hours of your life fielding harry potter questions so i apologize before we get going but you know the audience they would revolt if we didn't take a wing to discuss your role in one of the top grossing film franchises of all time can you give me one highlight and one low light when it comes to the food that you had to eat and the world of harry potter yeah definitely the crazy like banquet scenes at hogwarts where there was all like you know the uh the breakfasts particularly where it was like i was just a 11 12 year old child just piling on fried eggs and bacon and sausages and baked beans every morning for just days um that was great and then in one of the films i have to eat um ghillie weed that i think was like black licorice lace was designed you know it was designed to look like a kind of underwater seaweed plant um that i could then like shovel down my throat and that was that was pretty gross i remember by like the third or fourth day that i was like oh i how many more of these are we gonna do i read that you wore out something like 60 or 70 wands and went through 160 pairs of glasses are those reports exaggerated or does that sound accurate to you they are i would definitely say they are exaggerated the glasses one massively so like i definitely didn't break the glasses that often at all i don't think the ones i definitely like broke a lot because i would just like drum on my legs with it all the time and uh do that incessantly and so probably like once every like three or four weeks it would just like weaken to the point where it snapped and then i would say i was very sorry to the prop master and he would give me a look like please stop drumming they uh yeah they were very very sweet with us and uh tolerated more than i hoped they would from an adult actor i've heard that that scene in professor mcgonagall's classroom had something like 60 animals on the same set is that true and if so what do you remember about that day oh debating whether it's enough i mean that i have to tell the story you've asked about like such a specific thing in that mcgonagall i definitely remember that there was a there were a lot of animals um first of all to address that part of the question they must have had upwards of 60 there i don't imagine they were often all on set together um but definitely in that scene uh in the in the transfiguration classroom there was a a monkey of some kind in a in a cage that did just start jerking off uh relentlessly but generally speaking the animals are very well behaved although i think i think rupert maybe got peed on by a bat at one point as well um but yeah i got away pretty cleanly after that that's very nice so in addition to your tv and film resume you've also taken your talents to the stage even receiving a stare and drama desk award nominations for your work and how to succeed in business and equus respectively which is a tougher crowd to please movie critics or theater buffs i mean i think there is like there used to be more of a divide about like actors who do film coming to stage and you used to get i think theater critics that would just inherently kind of not like actors if they had been mostly from movies or like they were coming at it but i think that isn't really a thing anymore either like i definitely am not somebody who like has particularly suffered from that i can't split them i think if you do something shitty everyone's hard to please and then hopefully if you do something good then the people that it's for will will like it [Music] i'm feeling confident i'm gonna have more on the other side okay now fine folk all right daniel we have a recurring segment on our show called explain that gram where we do a deep dive on our guest instagram pull interesting pictures that need more context but you daniel you've thrown us for a loop because you have no social media whatsoever to speak of and it's probably for the best but why have you decided to stay off the apps i would love to say there's some incredibly thought out intellectual reason for this because i considered getting a twitter at one point and i 100 know that if i did you would all be waking up to stories of like downright gets into fight with random person on twitter like when i was younger not anymore thank god i used to like look up comments about myself on the internet and would like read [ __ ] like that that is an insane and bad thing to do and to me like twitter and and everything just sort of feels like an extension of that and like if you have to like if unless i was like gonna go on and just like read nice things about myself which also feels like another kind of unhealthy thing to do other than that i just i don't honestly think i'm like mentally strong enough but um but right now i'm kind of i'm kind of all right with that on the topic of just sort of uh protecting your privacy you know often on the show we'll talk about paparazzi evasion tactics that some of our guests have used over the years and you have one that is brilliant it's one that we've talked about internally for a long time where you wore the same leather jacket in public for six months straight as a way to like frustrate photographers where did that idea come from was that your idea or did somebody feed that to you no it was it just happened it was when i was doing equus in london and basically like you know there's you're in a situation where the paparazzi know where you are and no you will be leaving at around the same time every night so if they just want to like get pictures of you looking tired and pale which is my you know my my go-to look um then you know they can just wait by the sideway where you come out and uh and take them as you as you leave because it's the same door it's the same background i'm walking out the same way every night and if i'm wearing the same clothes they all look like they're from the same day so you there's no more value in it um and so we just i was like great i am totally comfortable wearing the same pair of jeans in this jacket for the next like three months and i can do that so i did that and then i also i have to say i i got given a gift once which is it's crazy that someone makes this because it's such a niche market but it was given to me as like this is an anti-paparazzi jacket and it is uh it's one of those jackets where it only works at night i think but if you wear it with the hood up and it's at night and you take a photo with a flash it wipes out everything in the on the camera except for the hoodie so like you just get a photo of like a floating ghost hoodie um and i have used that once and i never saw those pictures so i can only assume it worked [Music] wait for the other food to drop that's very good i like that a lot this is fine oh god okay what are these last four gonna be like pretty crazy strength to strength to strength to strength to close it out so camera guy bill over here is a big time a24 head and actually put me on to swiss army man a while ago you play a farting corpse what was the most difficult thing to shoot between you know propelling yourself through water with your own gas shooting acorns out of your mouth the water spout the the you know chopping things with your arm like it's an axe what was on a behind the scenes level the most difficult to shoot water spout was quite tricky i think but again it was practical which was awesome so they fed it up my shirt and like had it come out of one side um but that that was kind of tricky but i think actually the most like the i mean it was probably the most challenging to film but also definitely the mo one of the most fun things i have ever done was the opening sequence where he uses me like a jet ski to escape from that island it's the best opening sequence of any film i have ever done with no question marks in in my mind every day on that film you came in and were like what insane thing are we gonna do today and how we're gonna do it because it's not like they had a ton of money to achieve that stuff like this was a low budget film and it does not look like it for one moment in my opinion because they just uh yeah they're geniuses [Music] i know things are gonna start getting bad next because next is the one that everyone okay i'm getting real [Music] that's nice though there's still like nice flavors i thought like so i stuck to my mouth um i thought there were going to be more that was just like hot with nothing else and so far so far this there's some redeeming quality yes yeah exactly there's something else going on and it's nice what is in this one and i'll say this daniel i know that you were nervous before the shoot but i will say this amongst your countrymen amongst the fellow brits you are at the close to the top already oh great okay good that that i mean you're saying like for an english person you can take your spice which is uh a backhand sort of yeah but a backhanded compliment but i'll take it so as someone who seems drawn to more esoteric roles i find your love of b movies really fascinating in fact you said in a 2014 interview i suppose culturally i'm not very cultured what in your opinion is the best dwayne johnson film san andreas san andreas is not like is i like the family storyline in san andreas moved me more than it probably should have like i think san andreas is a genuinely like very very good disaster movie he has one of those qualities of an actor where like there is no film that he has done that is not better for him being it which sci-fi channel original movie would you consider the greater cinematic masterpiece sharknado or big ass spider oh i would say big r spider for sure and i don't know what what it is about them that i keep going back to and i i really should watch proper films because i do often find myself on sets where the director's like have you seen this movie and i'm like nah no i've seen bigger spider and i've seen dragon blade um and that's it um so like that happens sometimes and i need to get better references [Music] oh my god it's so thick jesus christ thick boy [Music] ah wow wow oh yeah yeah this is one of the ones where you get to it and you're like why did someone make this like what at what point in the in the like you know there's a testing process there's tasting things and they got to this and they're like it's perfect leave it stop don't add another thing take nothing away this is it yeah they like nailed it yeah oh yeah this is definitely reminding me of the the previous hottest thing i've ever had which was a uh like a you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna pause and go for the milk you've eaten something on this level before somebody once had a um i think it was called snake bite venom jerky and it was just a sheet of uh like built-on kind of meat but just coated the first two layers [ __ ] me yeah absolutely coated the first two layers in like chili flakes and like you ate the tiniest amount of it and it just took over your mouth very similarly to how this is currently doing yeah i'm going to do a little test now so i've got some i got some normal milk and i also got some almond milk see if there's a difference and i find it more or less effective i'd be curious uh for the findings much the same pretty ineffective i still feel everything so back in the day it was sort of a trope of ours to talk to guests about their names being name checked in rap lyrics and i'm really excited to dust that off today because harry potter has to be one of the most name-checked fictional characters in the history of hip-hop so what i want to do is just bounce a couple bars off of you maybe you like them maybe you don't like them maybe you're utterly confused i'm just curious on how each hits your ear and this first one is from lupe fiasco keep them in the air like a swan wing and imma keep it magic as a harry potter wand swing great that's very pleasing it's great i didn't actually know that there was a like a history of harry potter turning up in rap lyrics so that's very cool this next one is from lil wayne off working them [ __ ] on my stick but my name ain't harry potter they think i'm very hotter your girls say the same harry potters broomstick ones there's a lot of dick stuff you can do in there one last one for you this is from cupcake it's a lovely line off cpr and anytime my [ __ ] wanna be hairy like harry potter becky with the good hair is what you could call her i mean that's that's genuinely really funny so yeah that's uh yeah that'd be that's that's my favorite that one's impressive i feel like there's a there's a real jump these two i mean sorry i'm just like openly on camera now cool um but these two are just how bad is it gonna be because i can't i mean i might and even if these were good can i taste them now after having done dabong well there's only one way to find out for sure have you i was gonna ask have you ever had anyone like call back a few days later and be like what did you do to me here's what i i think ends up happening i think while it's happening is when it sucks the most for people so like during the actual interview is kind of when i see that sort of what's going on what am i who put me on this show and i'm stuck here sort of feeling that i'm getting from people sometimes but then i think once people finish it i feel like they almost feel like a sense of accomplishment so like when they're done i feel like they're kind of like hey all that stuff that happened before it's all water under the bridge now they're like and then the next day when they're not feeling anything they're like let's do it again it's a very strange thing yeah it's it's sort of bonding in that way i'm actually just gonna before we do this i'm gonna refill one of my glasses of milk because i got through a lot of that on my last one hey that's the move [Music] you're very nice by the way to send milk thank you for that i did have some but you're very kind hey shout out dom yes thank you dom um all right okay [ __ ] up [Music] okay let's start off with this i don't know what a small one is anymore this is why i can't drink anymore all right i mean impressively it is cutting through the last one and replacing that flavor with whatever new flavor this is but you're going back in for more i think i may be with slightly cowardly then i'm gonna [Music] respect yeah the combination of all of them is almost like um you know yeah it produces a slightly stimulant effect there's like a there's like a nice little head rush sometimes when you get that heart fading that's uh that's enjoyable so i haven't met many brits who prefer the american version of football how did a kid from the uk become all consumed with playing fantasy and rooting for the new york giants it was when i it was when i was doing the musical because i was doing how to succeed and somebody gave me somebody was like i need i'm making like i'm doing a fantasy league can i need numbers like can you just be like come up with a team i was like okay fine and i had no interest in it and then like three weeks in i was informed that my team was oh and three because you know i hadn't opened my profile or done anything to it and i was like well that sucks i don't wanna be owen three i don't wanna be at the bottom of the league so i suppose i'll like take an interest in that and then that was just like it became completely obsessed and like it's a perfect sport for fantasy there are so many ways of quantifying football not just in the point scoring but also in yards and that that like you can build an incredible kind of game around it but um nfl and nhl because my girlfriend is from uh just outside detroit so she was a big red wings fan growing up so i those are my two like adopted sports okay definitely um still tasting the last two oh yeah i can smell this already yeah i just realized i was uh i doubt i was dabbing at some more of the sauce on the plate i realized i just dabbed a bit more of the bomb by accident that was that was an error classic hot ones mistake but it's one that you make when you fully commit to the process of doing a hot ones here we are at the curtain call slamming the door shut on your episode and saying goodbye to season 13 and as we say goodbye we'll also be saying goodbye to some of these sauces so i want to take this opportunity last episode of the year to ask you this daniel radcliffe would you be so kind it would be an honor if you could rank the season 13 hot one sauce gauntlet from the sauce that you like the most to the sauce that you like the least okay yes well obviously like this guy is right at the bottom no one needs to no one needs to try that um i would say this one also similarly is like so hot that it's not really nice there is some flavor there but it's not i wouldn't like my mouth has gone entirely numb so if you just want to experience that that's very good but it's uh it's it's not the bomb i would just not not do there is no reason for that um then probably this one again because i like but then it would be this is my favorite the go rider that ended up being my favorite because that is like barbecuey and intense with a little bit of that kick but still very very pleasant same for both of these i enjoyed both of them a lot they uh well i i was that was the one that i was thought like oh this is going to be start to get unpleasant here and it's actually like just the right amount of fieryness oh yeah that last dab really hangs around doesn't it but you know what you handled it you took it down the hot one's gauntlet slayed by daniel radcliffe now there's nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you and say goodbye to season 13. this camera that camera probably just the camera you're looking at let the people know what you have going on in your life yeah uh well personally i'm you know building a lot of lego because back inside but if you want to watch stuff with me um you want to escape from victoria that is on demand also i did a movie called uh guns kimbo that is very very crazy and that's on demand too i think i was in the kimmy schmidt movie that was on netflix this year with ellie kemper and lots of amazing other people and uh written by tina fey and robert carlock and genuine and and sam means and meredith escardino thank god i remembered her last name um and uh they they are amazing at what they public what they wrote on that show is still blows my mind so if you want to go and check that out that's also cool good job good job thank you so much for having me that was very that was also a lovely interview by the way thank you very much and you know we'll see how it goes the next time i go to the toilet i i may write and

Nice to see Harry Potter and Voldermort can still bury the past and rebond over hot wings.

[u/Jah-Eazy]

He's almost too normal for the show

[u/GLickin]

Is Sean starting to take the spice worse? It seems to be affecting him more than it used to

[u/ScytheSergeant]

Great way to finish the season, really fun guest!

Overall I think they did a pretty good job with the virtual interviews this season. The repeat guests were fun ones and most of the guests had pretty nice sets.

[u/Mig1997]

Multiple bites with Da Bomb? He's a natural for this.

[u/Gules]

Expecto Dabombum

[u/jayhankedlyon]

My hot take til the end of time is that Daniel Radcliffe would be perfect as the next Wolverine. He's a great actor, he can get surprisingly bulky, and he'd finally give us a Logan who's actually shorter than the average actor (and as a bonus, one who doesn't have a chip on their shoulder about it like a Joe Pesci type).

[u/djwurm]

that was great! really enjoyed this episode

[u/krogerin]

Da Bomb needs to use Sean saying "thick boy" in their advertisements somehow
