Some gifts melt hearts. Others melt faces.
“Weird Al” Yankovic shared an item given to his daughter, Nina, by Dan Butts, the production designer on the mock biopic “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.”
Note: Spoiler ahead!
The film includes a scene where Dr. Demento (played by Rainn Wilson) spikes the guacamole with LSD, sending Yankovic (Daniel Radcliffe) on a wild trip that concludes with his face melting.
Butts gave the five-time Grammy winner’s daughter the prop used in that scene.
Yankovic called it “the exact thing every young woman wants” and shared an image on Twitter:
“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” seems likely to secure a nomination for Outstanding Television Movie when the Emmys are announced next month, with Variety predicting it will win.
Radcliffe may also get a nomination for his role as Yankovic, and the film could snag other nods as well.
The movie is streaming on the Roku Channel.
