Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe in ‘Swiss Army Man’

Radcliffe is a wonderful corpse – blue with rigor mortis, he manages to convey abject emotion through his eyes and the side of his mouth. Radcliffe started laughing. “Is this too much information?”‘

“Maybe my dad and everyone else was secretly thinking, ‘Shit, what is he doing?'” the star guesses.

“One of my favourite moments is when you use my boner as a compass”, Daniel Radcliffe told co-star Dano. (Don’t ask.) “There wasn’t any pushback from “my team” or whatever – the people I’m closest to know my tastes”.

“And if someone goes to see something who wouldn’t have done so if I wasn’t in it, then that’s f***ing great”.

After the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last Friday, the internet was entertained by reports of audiences walking out of the screening, presumably disgusted by the movie’s preoccupation with the functions of a dead body.

Daniel Radcliffe urges film fans to suspend their disbelief when going to watch a weird film, like his latest movie Swiss Army Man. I love this. I want more of this’. Luckily Daniel understands that not all viewers will see what he does in the project. If it doesn’t bring Radcliffe back to life, it restores Hank, and he lugs the body (called Manny, it emerges) through the woods, until Manny, still dead, begins to talk – while still leaking gas.

Yes, Swiss Army Man sounds unfathomably stupid, and that’s exactly what excited the two men about committing to it. “We both agree the idea was so bad that it didn’t deserve to be made”, Kwan insists. “And also, you’ve got to remember that the directors have a little bit of experience with moving dicks, because they directed the “Turn Down For What” video,” where one hyped-up dancer gets so excited that he boasts a sweatpants-straining member.

Another said: “Swiss Army Man – Wacky, surreal, at times brilliant”.

Swiss Army Man does not yet have a United Kingdom release date.
