Daniel Radcliffe on How He Ended up Dancing in Drag Outfit for 'Miracle Workers'

Read in-depth updates about Daniel Radcliffe on How He Ended up Dancing in Drag Outfit for 'Miracle Workers'.

In the comedy show Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail, Radcliffe plays Reverend Ezekiel Brown, who leads a famine-stricken community to the USA in hopes of a better life.

He is disciplined and rigid, but in episode 3, he lets loose after a couple of drinks. He goes wild dressed in drag with chaps, latex sleeves, feathered neckpiece, and a new wave-inspired makeup in his drunken state. 

This scene, in particular, caught the attention of fans, with many people curious about how it all came together. While on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on August 19, 2021, Radcliffe revealed that the show’s writers specifically wanted the voguing scene.

While he does not know why, the ordeal involved learning from Voguing specialist Thomas Matos. He also revealed that while Matos was fantastic, he can only do 1% of what the dancer is capable of. 

Impressed with his dancing skills, Colbert also asked if he will break out the moves again. Radcliffe answered, saying that he can only do it in those skimpy clothes and Miracle Worker’s set exclusively.

Sadly, this is a one-off deal.
