Travel Advise Twitter-style: Tom Felton on Twitter-wood

Posted on by

Once again Tom’s tweets have made it into MTV Movie Blogs Twitter-wood, and this time they featured a conversation between Tom and fellow Harry Potter star Warwick Davis.

In what MTV dubbed “Tokyo pt 1,” they published Tom’s tweet about arriving in Tokyo for his final evening in the city.

Just got off the bullet train, we’re back in Tokyo! 1 more night then home. Bet to make the most of tonight! Any ideas?x

Approximately 15 minutes later, the man behind Professor Flitwick put in his two knuts of an idea with “Tokyo pt 2.”

@TomFelton Check out the ‘Cantina’, a ‘Star Wars’ themed bar/shop. Very cool place.

Tom, in a later tweet, went on to call his co-star “a gentleman and an incredibly funny one at that! His tweets are already cracking me up! Very kind man.” And so right Tom is, but the recommendations on how he should spend his last night in town didn’t end there. Another celebrity got in on the act, and that was celebrity gossip Perez Hilton.

@TomFelton I’m having dinner with Lisa and Jess from The Veronicas in a bit in. U and ur gf should join us! Ha

Unfortunately, Tom didn’t see the tweet in time and had to send his regards instead.

@PerezHilton sorry just read your invite! My gf crashed out soon as we got to the hotel, would love to have a drink nxt time I’m in LA x

Perez Hilton went on to tease Tom with a twitpic of what he was missing out on while he was letting loose with the girls in Tokyo. But alas, our poor boy was wrung out from a whirl-wind tour of Japan, and within only a couple hours, he was off for the night.

Tom will be leaving Japan at some point today to return to London. He is scheduled to resume work on his latest films, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2 on Wednesday.

An interview Tom gave with Ados.fr has officially been uploaded online courtesy of Dailymotion today. The interview was filmed during a press junket Tom attended in Paris for the Fnac Signing Event, and thankfully, is not dubbed over in French. 😉 Tom answers many of the same questions he’s been answering for the past two months, but undoubtedly what he wishes was his one magical power is sublime, and if you ever read his Twitter, you won’t be surprised.

Tom Felton calls Alan Rickman a goose and lives to tell the tale.

In a lively, funny, and quite enchanting interview with City News.com, Tom shares quite a few anecdotes from his life and days on set for the just released Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

On following the lead goose, Alan Rickman:

Rickman had some fun at the young star’s expense:

“At the very end of a scene, after Snape has done his bit, we’re sort of walking out of the Great Hall in this goose, v-wing formation in which he’s at the front; he’s the sort of leading goose if you will.

“And he’s got this almost wedding dress cape on that seems to go three metres on the ground and the director was very keen for us to stay close behind to him, and of course, ‘don’t look at where your feet are going.’

“Naturally, before we started filming, Alan turned around in his very sinister way and said, ‘don’t step on my cloak.’ And we all sort of didn’t know whether he was joking or not.

“On the second take I dug my heel well and truly on it, which ripped his neck back in a hilarious fashion in my eyes but at the time it didn’t go down well. There was a rather awkward silence afterwards.

“Saying that, Alan is an incredibly nice guy and one of the funniest people on the set. There’s a lot of confusion there, people think that he’s a very sinister guy, but he’s hilarious really.”

On the great advice of Michael Gambon:

“There was actually a bit in there when I messed up a line of some nature and I was so nervous and embarrassed to do it in front of Michael [Gambon] and I was so apologetic for like 20 minutes afterwards and he was like, ‘do you know how much I’m on a week? We can do this all day.’ He was like, ‘keep messing them up if you can!’

On knowing his fans so well:

That’s really him on Twitter, and while he was in Toronto, he posted a special picture for his fans.

“There’s a car that’s taking us ’round which has actually got all the Harry Potter logos and stuff on it so I took some pictures of that and put it on Twitter. Straight away, as soon as I saw it, I thought oh this is hilarious, they’ll love this.”

This is a short clip from the interview he gave them at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. It was posted with the article and was quite handily embeddable. They discuss the one thing the article doesn’t – his hair.

You can read the rest of the article here, and/or if you are so inclined, CityNews also did an article compiling quotes from the New York HBP press conference of Tom and his cast-mates Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Michael Gambon. The quotes chosen are just brilliant and good for a great laugh. You can read it here.
