The Daily Mail has posted a new interview with Tom Felton.  He talks about the freedom he has now that Potter is over, being “famous”, debt, auditions and lots more.

Everyone wonders why none of the Potter cast made an even vague nod towards going off the rails ­having had immense fame and wealth thrust upon them at such a young age. Tom credits the very special working relationship with the Potter crew which keeps all the cast, even the Sirs and Dames who play the adults, on their feet.

‘We all feel pretty normal because most of us pretty much are, other than having to do this job and speak to the Press and promote films,’ he says. ‘If you have enough smoke going up your backside, eventually you will start to breathe it. But none of us put ourselves around people who are going to blow smoke.

‘The crew especially are the first people to whip us into shape and tell us that we are no one special. The banter is thick on Harry Potter and that has been crucial in keeping us down-to-earth.

‘If someone tried to take the hierarchy thing too seriously — for example, being lovely to producers but moaning to runners about the tea — that would not be accepted on Harry Potter; someone would pull you aside and have a word.’

Despite the cream of British ­talent working on the films, he says none of them pull rank. ‘We have been taught by the best in the business. Not only about acting but how to act with the crew.
