Tom Felton’s had a middle-aged female fan following him around the world for nine years.
The 27-year-old actor, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise, admits it is “strange” having such a keen supporter, but he appreciates that the woman is a huge fan of the movie series and is pleased that she can get so much “joy” out of meeting the cast.
He said: “It’s strange and if the genders were reversed, with a 50-year-old man supporting an 18-year-old girl, it would put up some warning signs.
“But for her, being a Harry Potter fan and meeting the cast has given her a sense of purpose and joy – and that’s not to be looked down on.”
Tom admits his mother “worries” about him having such enthusiastic supporters, but he has managed to turn it into a positive by making a new documentary, Tom Felton Meets the Superfans, in which he gets to know the female fan.
