Madonna did give Weird Al the idea to parody “Like A Virgin,” they just didn’t have a whirlwind romance afterwards.
"Finally, in February 2019, I got a random email from Al one morning that was like, ‘I think it’s time!’” Eric said.In perfect Weird Al fashion, the movie parodies and exaggerates some of his real-life experiences — some of the movie's events are just totally made up"from scratch.""[Biopics] are not documentaries, they're meant to be for entertainment purposes.
Ultimately, Weird Al and director Eric Appel felt that Daniel was the best actor to pull off the dramatic and comedic moments."Eric and I made a shortlist of actors that we thought would be able to pull off the role. And we studied the list and we always kept focusing on Dan's name because we were both fans of all of Dan's work, but we knew that he could pull off the dramatic moments and also the comedic moments," Weird Al said.
Eric said,"Well, so [Dan's] singing along to newly recorded versions of these tracks, which was exciting for me to go into the studio with Al and his band and see them do these new versions of the songs. The arrangements for the movie were pretty incredible."Daniel added,"If you can avoid fake facial hair, you should. There's advice for you all."The Roku Channel
"We would watch playback — and we're dressed like Madonna [and Weird Al] — going, 'That's what that would look like!'"Because they only had 18 days to complete filming, a lot ended up having to be cut from the script, including a dating montage with Weird Al and Madonna riding a tandem bike.Weird Al was there every day on set to make sure the movie came out exactly the way he wanted.
