Tom Felton: Worldwide fame is odd

9th July 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Tom Felton has branded his worldwide fame "bizarre".

The British actor plays Harry Potter's nemesis Draco Malfoy in the hugely successful movie series. He explained he's still trying to get used to being recognised wherever he goes, and can't believe he's known all over the globe.

"That is probably one of the strangest things for me as well," Tom told a UK television show. "You go to a new country and it seems to get a warm welcome wherever we go. It is kind of bizarre that you can't really go anywhere in the world without someone knowing you are in Harry Potter. That is fantastic."

Tom added he is feeling sad about the final Harry Potter movie, The Deathly Hallows Part 2. He has played Tom since the series began in 2001 and saying goodbye to the character was difficult.

"There are some pretty shady scenes for Draco in the new film," he revealed. "It was a lot of fun. I have mixed emotions really, I am excited to see the movie but also sad knowing it is the last one. I feel the same way as the fans, I guess." (C) Cover Media
