Tom Felton: I agree with Barbie blondes have more fun'

"Dr_J_A_Zoidberg I have so much compassion for Draco [Malfoy], knowing that he is the result of piss-poor parenting on his father's side. I know James Buckley from The Inbetweeners very well. His character is an example of a comedic bully. But as a lifelong fan of The Simpsons, I'm going to have to say my favourite is Nelson Muntz."

"I'll tell you there are disadvantages to dyeing your hair every nine days; the fact I still have hair at all is remarkable. Thankfully, I wear a wig for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but it does immediately put you into a Malfoy mood if your hair is platinum blonde. I do agree with Barbie: blondes have more fun."

Tom Felton names Nelson Muntz as his favourite other school bully while expressing compassion for Draco Malfoy as a product of poor parenting. He distinguishes James Buckleys comedic bully portrayal from more complex characters. He recounts catching a 37lb 4oz common carp on the St Lawrence River and credits his brother Chris for introducing him to fishing. Family members chaperoned early film shoots, and a grandfathers wizardlike appearance led to a small casting moment. He describes tiring fishing trips between shoots and a lasting love of the outdoors, fishing and dog walking. He notes the drawbacks of frequent hair dye, wears a wig for stage, and feels platinum blonde helps embody Malfoy.
