Maybe you weren't expecting Harry Potter to be a big fan of (Muggle) rap? Well, Daniel Radcliffe is, the actor told Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday's Tonight Show, and he has been ever since getting into Eminem in grade school. The fact that an actor is good at memorizing intricate lyrics isn't that much of a surprise, but props to the former boy wizard for braving a performance of the Blackalicious tongue-twister "Alphabet Aerobics" on national TV. And, well, nailing it. Nice American accent, Radcliffe. --Peter Weber
