A promo for the new season of Miracle Workers showed star Daniel Radcliffe looking extremely shredded. This prompted unfounded speculation that he might have gotten buff not just for that show, but also to play Wolverine in an upcoming project. This is not the case, though.
Radcliffe himself told Vanity Fair in a lie detector interview that he did not start the rumor that he might play Wolverine. “I got buff because I am obsessive,” the actor said, adding that his parents are “insane fitness people” and this was passed on to him.
“No Wolverine. Flattered, but no,” he said (via Entertainment Weekly). You can watch the entire lie detector video below.
