Instead of the Harry Potter movies, Daniel Radcliffe would rather be remembered for that one absurd scene from Swiss Army Man
For Daniel Radcliffe, nothing from Harry Potter can top this one scene from Swiss Army Man.
Many Harry Potter fans grew up with Daniel Radcliffe, watching his performance as a young wizard in eight films. The movies in the HP series are of great importance to their fans, who remain loyal fans of the productions to this day.
However, although they mean so much to fans, Daniel Radcliffe himself has other productions in his career that are closer to his heart. During an interview with GQ, Radcliffe talked about his most iconic roles. And in the course of it, he confessed that if he had to pick one role and one scene he would like to be remembered for, it would be his performance in Swiss Army Man, specifically the bus scene.
If I get hit by lightning tomorrow or something, if there's one scene that I could pick from everything I've ever done to just be the thing that like lasts after me, it would be the scene on the bus from Swiss Army Man.
In Swiss Army Man, Daniel Radcliffe plays a dead man whom Hank, played by Paul Dano, befriends and whom he drags with him everywhere, finding him useful. The bizarre production takes an unusual approach to the subject of what it means to be alive.
As for the absurd scene Radcliffe mentioned, it can be considered the heart of the film – the gist he wanted to convey. In it, Manny played by Radcliffe and Hank act out a scene in which a man accosts a woman on a bus. It takes place in the jungle, in a setting created by Hank where it's just the two of them, based on Hank's delusions about how he deals with everything that happens around him. In it, he explains the human experience to a dead man, “what life is all about.”
And this one scene, rather than anything from the 8 Harry Potter films, is what Radcliffe would like to be remembered for.
