A KILLER GAG

Dummy of dead Daniel Radcliffe created for Swiss Army Man tours America, with hilarious consequences

Ezra Glenn was tasked with dragging the dummy around the United States for the summer

IT'S always scary starting a new job - but it's hard to comprehend how Ezra Glenn felt on his first day, after he was hired to carry a Daniel Radcliffe corpse around America for the summer.

The life-size plastic dummy - lovingly named Manny - was handed over to Ezra earlier this year as part of a campaign to promote upcoming film Swiss Army Man.

The duo proceeded to travel the country together while the man given this unusual task documented it for social media.

Their adventures included heading out on a bus tour, appearing on Fox News, going on pleasant boat trips and kicking back over a few beers.

But what Ezra didn't anticipate was the hilarious reaction he got from onlookers.

 The film is set for release on September 30th

He admits, "As I carried him out into the street and experienced my first taste of what the next month of my life would be like: People glaring at me in horror, moving away from me quickly, and yelling 'Is he okay?' in my general direction.

"Up until I first stepped outside with Manny in my arms, I hadn't thought too much about the ways in which this project would be about scaring people."

"Choruses of 'you're disgusting,' 'get the f**k out of here,' and 'what's wrong with you?' followed me everywhere."

Here are some of our favourite pictures of Manny on the road...
