Harry Potter star Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the popular film franchise, has recalled how he had an awkward audition with Welsh legend Anthony Hopkins. The actor, now 35, was hoping to land a role in the 2012 film Hitchcock, which was a biographical drama about filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.
Speaking about the mortifying experience, Tom shared: "This was not my finest hour when it came to auditioning. I got the sides (scripts) very last minute. I knew I wasn't right for the role. I've never seen Psycho — the film was about the making of Psycho — I didn't know anything particularly well, but I knew I wasn't right for this."
He added: "I've very rarely called my agent before going into an audition and said, 'I really don't think this is for me,' but I did on that occasion," before describing how Anthony Hopkins "knew he didn't know what he was doing".
