Tom Felton Got ‘Misty-Eyed’ Putting Draco Malfoy Wig Again on for Broadway Role (Exclusive)

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 gonna 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 yes, 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. But yeah, 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 one person who will definitely be in the audience on opening night, “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.’”

He added, "I'm sure there'll be plenty of others to come and support."
