The parody film of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s life has fans wondering if scenes in the movie really happened, or if they are just elaborate imaginations from the performer himself.
The trailer for “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” previewed a makeout scene between Yankovic and Madonna. Fans were immediately curious about the authenticity of this on-screen relationship, so much so that they started searching on the Internet for the answers, much to the amusement of Yankovic.
He tweeted about the incident in September.
In a new interview on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,” Yankovic revealed the truthful nature of his relationship with the “Material Girl.”
“It’s obvious that there’s something going on with me and Madonna in the trailer,” he shared. “So everyone’s like, ‘Did that really happen? Did Weird Al and Madonna have a thing?’”
He shared while “there are a few little nuggets of truth sprinkled throughout the biopic,” his steamy makeout scene with Madonna is fiction.
“Our relationship is platonic, by the way,” he clarified before adding, “The only time I actually met her was in 1985. I talked to her for maybe like, 45 seconds backstage. So that’s the extent of the relationship.”
Fallon followed up, asking Yankovic, “And she’s in the whole movie?”
The 63-year-old Yankovic laughed and said “Oh, she’s a huge part of the movie!”
The movie stars Daniel Radcliffe as the eccentric singer and Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna.
