The Boy Who Almost Wasn't Draco
A piece of glass in his mother's foot changed everything. No grand ambitions, no stage-parent dreams-just a random injury that led seven-year-old Tom to a drama teacher who dramatically declared he "belonged in the arts." One reading from *The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe* at an agency, and suddenly he was flying to America for commercials. His early roles were wonderfully absurd: playing Peagreen in *The Borrowers* meant escaping algebra for Olympic gym training, wearing a ridiculous orange wig, and sporting a "ginger mullet" that earned merciless teasing at football practice. He spent days in harnesses, dodging giant hammers and doing thirty-foot falls. When Potter auditions arrived, Tom was possibly the only kid who'd never heard of the books. His cluelessness showed when director Chris Columbus asked what scene he most wanted to see on screen. Tom pointed at another kid and said, "Same as him!"-even flapping his arms, thinking Gringotts might be some flying creature. During a "break" with cameras secretly rolling, he brushed off a curious frizzy-haired girl asking about the boom mic. "It means they're recording us. Obviously," he sneered before walking away. That girl was Emma Watson. That natural arrogance? Pure Draco. After weeks of silence and seeing the cast announced in newspapers, Tom pretended not to care and returned to his yoyo. Then came the callback-not for Harry or Ron, but for Draco Malfoy. His reaction when he finally got the part? "Cool. This should be fun." Then he asked to return to his football game where he was losing 2-1.
