Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Lin-Manuel Miranda has been working nonstop for the past two-and-a-half years on projects like Hamilton, Disney’s Moana, and the upcoming Mary Poppins Returns.
The prolific writer finally took a much-needed vacation and spent time digitizing all of his home movies. “I was like a Spielberg in my own mind,” he told host James Corden on The Late Late Show.
Miranda brought along one video, where his young self dances to Weird Al Yankovic’s “Isle Thing.”
True to form, Corden challenged Miranda to see if he still had his moves. Watch the video above to see Miranda break it down old-school style.
