“Initially I got into Eminem and was obsessed with learning all the words to ‘Real Slim Shady’,” the 25-year-old star explained. “There’s also a guy called Plan B in England. I’ve always had an obsession with memorizing complicated and intricate fast songs. It’s a disease.”

Leading the actor into his performance, Fallon asked, “Like Blackalicious’ ‘Alphabet Aerobics?'”

“That would be one,” an apparently apprehensive Radcliffe replied.
