LOS ANGELES, Calif. – When the stars of “Lord of the Rings” wrapped up filming their trilogy, they commemorated their time together with matching tattoos, something Tom Felton recently proposed to his own “Harry Potter” cast.
“I wasn’t supposed to say anything, but we’ve all got lightning bolts on our a****. No, I’m joking,” 22-year-old Tom, who grew up playing Draco Melfoy, told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “But I did try and talk them into it.”
Tom said he almost got his co-stars, who include Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, to sign on for some permanent ink.
“I thought it was a nice idea. Maybe not on the a** — but a little something,” he said. “We talked about it, but all wimped out.”
Tom also revealed to the paper that before they parted ways on the set, he, Daniel and Emma sat down and discussed their potential futures — in jest, of course.
“We did the whole thing of where we thought each other would be in five years,” he said. “There were some shocking answers. There were some in rehab, drama teachers, Harry Potter convention runners.”
In related “Potter” news, earlier this week, the stars gathered in Florida for the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in honor of the beloved British wizard series. There, on the red carpet, Daniel told Access Hollywood about how sad he was over finishing up shooting the big screen versions of the books.
“We wrapped up like a week ago and it was bizarre,” he told Access. “I cried like a baby. It was very upsetting, but, you know, a new chapter now begins, I suppose in my life and, hopefully, in my career as well.”
