Tom Felton has expressed his admiration for the iconic blonde Barbie, stating that "blonds have more fun" is a fact of life. When asked about his favorite other school bully, the actor revealed that he identifies with Donovan from The Inbetweeners and Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons, but finds them less intimidating than his own portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series.
Felton acknowledged that Draco's backstory, including his difficult relationship with his father, may have contributed to his own struggles. However, the actor noted that he believes Draco could have found redemption by fighting Voldemort alongside Harry and Hermione in the Battle of Hogwarts, but not at the expense of his own values.
In a lighter moment, Felton shared a humorous anecdote about working with Chadwick Boseman on the film Message from the King, stating that Chadwick's ferocity was unmatched even when it came to acting out scenes. When asked about his favorite TV series past or present, Felton expressed his admiration for Mr. Bean, citing its universal appeal and the brief scripts.
Felton also spoke candidly about his experience with his pet chinchilla, Stanley, who lived in a large cage despite Felton's father not being an animal lover. The actor fondly remembered Stanley's soft fur and recalled one instance where the chinchilla nipped him, highlighting the unique bond he shared with the beloved pet.

I mean, can't he just move on from being a bad guy in his youth? And what's with the "blonds have more fun" thing? Like, isn't that just a stereotype or something? He does seem kinda relatable to The Inbetweeners and The Simpsons characters though, I guess they're all just trying to find their place in life... 
I'm loving this interview with Tom Felton! He seems so down-to-earth, you know? I mean, who wouldn't want to be friends with a chinchilla named Stanley 
. But seriously, it's cool that he's open about his struggles as Draco and how he thinks Draco could've turned out differently if he'd chosen different paths. It's like, we all have our flaws, but it's how we learn from them that matters, right? And can we talk about Chadwick Boseman for a sec? I'm still reeling from the loss 
. Tom Felton's stories about working with him are giving me all the feels 
. Anyway, Mr. Bean is my fave too! Who wouldn't love a guy who's just happy to be himself and make people laugh? 
anyway what really gets me is hes saying draco couldve found redemption by teaming up with harry and hermione but not at the expense of his values lol isnt thats like every single character arc ever lol
. I think what resonates with me about that story is how relatable it feels, you know? Like, who hasn't had a hard time dealing with their own parents or past experiences? 
It's so refreshing to see someone owning up to their struggles and not shying away from vulnerability. And can we talk about how adorable his anecdote about Stanley the chinchilla is?! 
And I'm dying over his Mr. Bean obsession! Who wouldn't want to watch more of Rowan Atkinson's genius? 
But for real, his backstory is SO relatable - struggling with family issues and feeling like you're stuck in a bad situation can be super tough. Like, I feel like Donovan from The Inbetweeners would totally vibe with Draco's awkwardness 
! I love how he shares his fave childhood inspirations 
. But omg, have you seen his Draco Malfoy transformation? 
He totally NAILED the character 
! And I'm dying over this funny anecdote about Chadwick Boseman 
...ferocity is not just for acting, lol! 
As for Mr. Bean, who else could make a show that's literally seconds long be so iconic? 
And can we talk about Stanley the chinchilla? 
It's clear Tom Felton has a heart of gold 
. He seems to have taken a more nuanced approach, considering Draco's backstory and how it influenced his character. It's nice that he's exploring the idea of redemption for Draco - maybe it shows he's grown as an actor since the Harry Potter days 
.
. And omg, Stanley the chinchilla sounds adorable 
anyway, what's up with Felton saying he identifies with other school bullies? doesn't that kinda contradict everything we thought we knew about Draco? 
Draco Malfoy was supposed to be the bad guy for a reason... but I guess that's not as interesting now that he's been humanized by Felton 
. And Mr. Bean is hilarious, don't get me wrong, but it's just a silly sitcom - does that really have universal appeal? 
anyway, i liked that he talked about his favorite characters from The Inbetweeners and The Simpsons... Donovan sounds kinda cool 
. It can have serious effects on your mental health and relationships.
. But it sounds like you have a great bond with him, Tom! 
Also, Mr. Bean is my jam, but let's not forget the rest of the Harry Potter cast - they're where it's at!
