He may be "the boy who lived" but he had shed that title and has now become "the man who rapped."
The British actor can now add rapping to his list of talents, as he owned the floor during his appearance on NBC's "Tonight Show" to perform the tongue-twisting "Alphabet Aerobics" by Blackalicious, as reported by Telegraph UK. The song was originally sung by the American hip-hop duo back in 1999. Time pointed out that the song is extremely difficult to repeat, adding that it "employs a heavy dose of mouth-numbing consonance as it wends its way through each letter of the alphabet."
Radcliffe, who was promoting his film, "Horns" admitted to host Jimmy Fallon, "I think I was the first kid in my class to learn the words to 'The Real Slim Shady.
He also added, "I've always had an obsession with memorizing complicated and intricate fast songs."
Fallon presented Radcliffe with a microphone and challenged him to the Blackalicious song, which the actor tackled with no problem at all, gaining him a standing ovation from the audience.
As Rolling Stone pointed out, Radcliffe managed to nail every line in the song. Time also said, "Radcliffe proved himself a wizard on the mic, barely dropping a syllable."

During his segment with Fallon, Radcliffe also goofed off with the host by doing impersonations, confiding as well that he learned to do an American accent by watching WWF and his favorite wrestler, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He even added that he wanted to work with the former wrestler in a comedy film one day.
If he would ever decide on retiring from acting, Radcliffe can totally change careers and become a rapper instead. With his skills, he can, without a doubt, drop his own rap album.
But for now his next big screen appearance is in "Horns" which is about a man who wakes up to find horns growing out of his forehead a year after his girlfriend was brutally killed; acting alongside Juno Temple, David Morse, Max Minghella, and Kathleen Quinlan.
The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013, is set to have its US release on Halloween.
