Daniel Radcliffe rode around NYC with his "Swiss Army Man" corpse

If you're wondering why Daniel Radcliffe hasn't had time to check out the new stage play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" in London, it's because he's been busy confronting his own mortality -- literally.

Radcliffe spent Monday hanging out on a tour bus cruising New York City next to a lookalike dummy of his corpse from the movie "Swiss Army Man."

The film's distributor, A24, is sending the dummy on a national tour to promote the film, which caused a stir at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Fans can catch a glimpse of the fake dead Radcliffe in person in Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles in coming weeks.

The film features Paul Dano has a man stranded on a deserted island who finds help, redemption and possible rescue in the form of a corpse (Radcliffe) that washes up on the beach.

"Swiss Army Man" will be released in New York and Los Angeles on June 24 before expanding on July 1.
