In a new interview with
Digital Spy, actor Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), spoke about the pressures and worries that come with working as part of the
Harry Potter franchise:
Quote:
"I feel slightly under pressure. When we're in the studios there's kids coming around all day.
"It's not so bad for me as Draco because he's a bad character, but there are these kids that look up to the cast.
"There's definitely a feeling that you need to keep things under your hat."
Tom briefly mentions his feelings towards the end of the film series:
Quote:
"There's a mixture of relief and disappointment. It's a relief because the end is in sight, but equally terrifying is that I don't know what I'm going to do afterwards. I've no idea."
Tom will be playing for Team England this weekend to benefit
UNICEF's Soccer Aid, which will be aired live on Britain's ITV1 September 6th at 6PM BST (11PM EST).
UPDATE:
Digital Spy have further quotes from Tom, who talks about roles involving nudity and his involvement with the aforementioned charity soccer game;
Quote:
When asked about his footballing credentials, he joked: "Absolutely sod all! About a decade ago, I headlined for the B squad of my village team, but that unfortunately is it.
"'Roped in' is the terminology. My girlfriend was very keen because her brother and dad would kill for the opportunity to play at Wembley.
"It's also for UNICEF. If it wasn't for charity, I would run a mile."
UPDATE #2: Tom
spoke about training for this weekend's SoccerAid charity game:
Quote:
Meanwhile, Harry Potter actor Tom Felton confessed that he is nowhere near match fit. "I thought I was going to be physically sick out there on the pitch," he confesses. "Its so hard keeping up with them but Graham Le Saux in particular has been great giving out some advice."
