Tom Felton chatted with “Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi at the 78th Annual Tony Awards, days after it was announced that he’ll reprise his “Harry Potter” Draco Malfoy role and make his Broadway debut in “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”
“Well it’s a bit of a pinch me moment really,” he said. “I think for the first week I still woke up thinking I was dreaming that this is going to happen. I didn’t see it coming and I could not be more thrilled to step into old shoes but in a very new light in one of, if not the greatest city in the world.”
And he has tried on the wig!
“The wigs, the costumes… I won’t lie, when the wig came on I got a bit, I got a bit misty eyed… I don’t know, I just never thought I’d see my hair bleached blonde again… I couldn’t be more excited, huge fan of the show, huge fan of Broadway. It’s an actor’s dream come true and so far everyone’s been delightful so I look forward to joining the community.”
Sharing that his mom will be in the audience when he takes the stage, “Just my mom she’s standing behind me somewhere but quite ironically of course my mom was the first one to try and buy tickets online. I said ‘Mom, I’ve got you.’”
