The actor has worked miracles on himself.

Acting is a demanding activity, and sometimes, stars have to go at great lengths to get prepared for a role. For instance, the star of the Bridget Jones' Diary franchise, Renée Zellweger had to gain and almost instantly lose some dozen pounds for the role as her initially plump character went through a physical transformation. In turn, male actors are usually asked to get ripped for their parts.

It seems this is what happened to Daniel Radcliffe. The iconic child actor, who rose to prominence thanks to the titular role in Warner Bros' Harry Potter franchise, has had a number of lesser-known roles since the last movie, Deathly Hallows – Part 2, came out in 2011. You may have seen him in such big productions as Kill Your Darlings, Now You See Me 2, and more recently The Lost City.

Radcliffe starred in his own TBS show for years

More significantly, Daniel Radcliffe has been starring in TBS' Miracle Workers since its inception in 2019 — as a different character every season. Just recently, the show wrapped up its fourth chapter where the actor portrayed road warrior Sid in a post-apocalyptic world.

To add to the season's hilarity, Daniel showcases his incredible physique at one point on the show. He looks completely lean and ripped — a kind of appearance that nobody expected from Harry Potter.

Miracle Workers Season 4 is not the first instance of Radcliffe showing off his body. At 17, the actor went fully nude on stage while performing in the play Equus. Fans also saw parts of his naked body in Kill Your Darlings, but he was never so hunky before.

Arguably, Radcliffe's miraculous transformation has helped the actor better flesh out his new character in Miracle Workers. With that kind of physique, it does not come as a surprise that the character can tear robots apart with his bare hands.
