Daniel Radcliffe’s karaoke version of Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady” went viral last week, something the producers of his next film must certainly be hoping for.
With nearly 3 million views, Radcliffe’s performance at Cameron’s Pub in Half Moon Bay shows that the famous “Harry Potter” actor is now a full-grown adult who likes to have a little fun.
Radcliffe found Cameron’s during a break from shooting his next film “Swiss Army Man” which also stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, from “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” and Paul Dano from “There Will Be Blood.”
While Cameron’s may have gotten a little boost from Radcliffe’s appearance, the rest of the film crew also spent big dollars in the area.
The production alone booked over 800 hotel rooms in the area, according to the San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Film Commission.
“They also hired local caterers and film industry professionals, and the production crew ate in our local restaurants, hired local cars, used our local services and paid land owners filming location fees to film on their properties,” according to a press release sent out Monday.

“Swiss Army Man” was another feature film project to film extensively in the area, away from Los Angeles, due to the California Film Incentive Program designed to “keep film jobs in California,” according to the press release.
The San Mateo County Film Commission promotes state film incentives, which encourage feature film and television productions to scout locations across the state in “film friendly” areas, such as San Mateo County and Silicon Valley.
Other films have recently been shot in the area, including “Terminator Genisys” in Redwood Shores and “The Boat Builder” in Pacifica.
“Swiss Army Man,” launched at the Sundance Lab, centers on a hopeless man stranded in the wilderness who befriends a dead body who then go on a surreal journey together to get home.
