The parody biopic WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story was released in theatres in November 2022 but is still in the news. The biopic is available on streaming for free to watch on The Roku Channel. The parody biopic shows many fictitious or ‘parody’ facts about the comedy musician, and his alleged love affair with the iconic singer Madonna could also be fake.

The musician ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic has got talking about his so-called affair with Madonna. Here’s what he said. But first, let’s take a look at what the ‘biopic’ is all about.

What is Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and show stars in it?

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a ‘biographical’ parody film – not a real biopic but inspired by some real biopics that do not always showcase the facts. Actor Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame stars as ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic in the experimental film, while actor Evan Rachel Wood plays Madonna.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is directed by Eric Appel, who has also written the screenplay along with the real ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic. The film is indeed based on Yankovic's life and career as an accordionist and parody songwriter, but it is a satire on biopics in general.

Did Madonna have an affair with 'Weird Al' Yankovic?

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story shows a solid romantic affair between Yankovic and Madonna, but it is completely fake! Yankovic revealed in a new interview with Variety that he has no idea if Madonna even knows that such a ‘biopic’ exists.

He said it brought him so much joy to see that his alleged affair was the number one Google search when people typed ‘Did Weird Al and Madonna have a fling?’.

“I don’t know if Madonna is even aware of this movie. I’m very curious what she thinks… I hope she’s OK with it,” he said.

We’re not sure if Madonna is ok with it, but Yankovic’s lawyers told him "don't worry about it," as the celebs parodied in his film were public figures.

But Yankovic knows that there will be people on the Internet who believe whatever is shown is true. “I’ve learned about the Internet and the general population, no matter how ironic and insincere you’re being, somebody’s going to believe it,” he said.
