Evan Rachel Wood previews her mean Madonna impression ahead of the "Weird Al" Yankovic biopic

When Fallon asks Wood her initial reaction to nabbing the role, the actor shares she could barely believe it was real. “Honestly, like I thought I was gonna take a break the rest of the year, and then I got an email and the first thing I read is ‘You’ve been offered the role of Madonna,’ and I just burst out laughing like…. you just spit your drink out when you read that,” she says. “Like, you’re not expecting that as a Tuesday.”

Wood also says that she felt much more comfortable playing Madonna as a supporting role in a comedy, calling the prospect of starring as the singer in a biopic “way too much pressure.”

In Weird, Wood acts opposite Daniel Radcliffe, who stars as the titular, curly-headed performer. The first trailer for the film teases the first notes of “Like a Surgeon,” before revealing Radcliffe’s Yankovic with his accordion ready to perform for a boisterous crowd.

Although only Madonna’s parody song makes it into the teaser, Fallon also shares a still photo of Wood-as-Madonna, where the actor is decked out in a tutu, lace gloves, cross earrings… the “Like a Prayer” era special. Color us delightfully disarmed.
