It seems all those years of muttering incantations as Harry Potter have given Daniel Radcliffe the gift of the rapper's gab.
The Harry Potter star, who is soon to feature in the upcoming film Horns, made a name for himself as of rap connoisseur in a surprise performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Talking Fallon through his interest in rap music from a young age, Radcliffe revealed his obsession with learning the words to every song.
"I think I was the first kid in my class to learn the all the words to Real Slim Shady," he said.
But by owning up to his passion for memorising "complicated, lyrically intricate and fast songs" Radcliffe backed himself into a challenge by Fallon: to rap the 1999 tongue twister from Blackalicious, Alphabet Aerobics.
Despite Fallon's admission that the song was "one of the trickiest, fastest songs" he knew, the former wizard star was more than willing to take the mic.
Radcliffe wowed with his effortless performance, impressing none more than Fallon who was just barely able to contain his excitement.
A cult classic, Alphabet Aerobics is the best known track of Blackalicious' 1999 EP A2G, featuring Gift of Gab.
The structure of the song is that every couplet is made up of words starting with the same letter, as it moves through the alphabet from A to Z.
