Radcliffe spoke about his experience of initially getting the role on a March 2022 interview on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon." During the interview, Radcliffe spoke about how he had never met Al before he was chosen to play him in the biopic. Radcliffe said, "when I talked to Al for the first time, I was like 'I'm immensely flattered by the idea that you would pick me to play you, but like, why me?"

Radcliffe said that 13 or 14 years prior, he was on the Graham Norton show and sang a humorous version of the song "The Elements" by Tom Lehrer in front of Colin Farrell and Rihanna, who were guest on the show. Radcliffe went on to say "I guess Al saw that and was like, ‘This guy maybe gets it." Radcliffe also said that upon getting the role, he had accordion lessons with Yankovic.
