Daniel Radcliffelooked abs-olutely pec-tacular in the series finale of his TBS comedyMiracle Workers, in which he plays Sid, aMad Max-styled post-apocalyptic warrior who battles robots and villains in a wasteland.
In the scene, he’s prompted to go “feral” to cover a friend during a battle, where Radcliffe rips apart robots with his leather gloved hands.
The actor famously stripped down on stage forhis 2008 role in the West End playEquus— but has remained largely covered up since then.
TheHarry Potteralum has credited longtime girlfriend, actressErin Darke, as the reason behind his ripped physique, which is more superhero, less wizard.

“My understanding is that they’re trying to very much start fresh and I’m sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere,” Radcliffe toldComicBook.com.
As for whether he’d actually want to appear, Radcliffe said: “I’m definitely not seeking it out in any way.”
“But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world and I’m very excited to have that torch passed,” he added. “But I don’t think it needs me to physically pass it.”
