Tom Felton Discusses his “Heartthrob” Status With New Zealand Website

In a recent interview with New Zealand website www.stuff.co.nz, Tom Felton discusses why he doesn’t consider himself a heartthrob and why he goes out of his way to look nice for his fans.

Tom Felton says “looking nice” is the least he can do for his fans.

The 23-year-old actor is best known for playing evil character Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movie franchise about life at a school for witches and wizards.

Handsome Tom has built up a massive fan base during his time on the movie franchise, which will end for good later this year when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is released.

The British star appreciates how many adoring female fans he has, so he always makes an effort to look good for them.

“I’m amazed by the support I get on Twitter and websites. The fans are so supportive, so I can only do my best to look nice at events,” he blushed.

Although he makes an effort to look dapper, Tom can’t quite comprehend the notion that he’s a dreamboat for many young ladies. Tom doesn’t see himself that way and would rather leave hunks such as fellow Brit Robert Pattinson to fit that bill.

“That’s a word I don’t understand,” he laughed in response to claims he’s a heartthrob.

Tom Felton Calls Ralph Fiennes “Mesmerizing” In New USA Today Article

Tom Felton spoke recently with USA Today about how frightening Ralph Fiennes is in character while portraying Voldemort in the Harry Potter films.

“Ralph is mesmerizing,” Felton says. “He never did two takes the same. … I had to keep reminding myself: ‘Stay in character. Don’t just sit there and watch his performance.’ ”

Even when the cameras stop, the aura of Voldemort remains.

“He dominates scenes in the film, and it’s like that off the set as well,” Felton says. “He’s quite a charming guy. And when he opens his mouth, people listen. Let’s put it this way: No one talks over him.”
