He seems like such a good guy. Celebs opening up about relatable things like mental health is so helpful for others.

@karismalovesglitter Год назад

Bless him. It’s refreshing how much every member of the cast embraces Harry Potter as much as they do instead of trying to hide it - it’s probably the reason they’ve all found moderate success outside of the franchise.

I've always said he was the best child actor in the franchise. It's crazy how much less he got paid compared to Radcliffe who wasn't the best actor.

One thing is sure, the cast of Harry Potter has the biggest heart. I´ve never heard anyone say a bad word about any of the people being cast in the films. Really sad to hear that Tom struggle with addiction but so brave to talk about it. It can help so many others that are going through the same thing. Love that they all keep in touch. They all seem to be the sweetest people ever!

Just finished reading Tom's book today. As silly as it is, I watched HP for the first time during the 2020 lockdown and became a huge fan. Then when Draco Tok happened, I became a huge fan of Tom. I think he is an amazing and humble individual and I am so glad he got through all his tough times. ❤

@jesustovar2549 Год назад

I'm recenlty rewatching Harry Potter and became a huge fan too, I initially thought Tom was a quiet person who didn't want to know much about his past as Draco, since Hollywood doesn't hire him much, but he's really a nice person, in contrast of Draco (as many other actos who plays villains), and is glad about having being part of Harry Potter, and also being loved by the fans.

@jess84096-m 10 месяцев назад

I'm very proud of you for writing your memoir, Tom. It takes a lot of courage for anyone to write a memoir about themselves and their lives, no matter if they're famous or not. From the moment I read your memoir for the first time, I developed a deep crush on you. You see, Tom, to me, it's not the actor on the outside that matters. It's the man you are on the inside that matters to me the most.

@alyssavega4307 Год назад

I have read the book and I have to say that I have enjoyed every bit of it. When I got to the final pages, it kind of almost broke me in a way. I deal with mental health issues, and I never realized how much his mental health was affecting him in a way. When reading the book, I think that no matter how much we admire the actor, musician, etc. we forget as humans that they are all human just like any of us. I commend Tom Felton that he showed the amount of courage he had by writing this book for all of us to understand him in a different way. I recommend the book for those who have not read it yet. I'm glad to see that he's doing a lot better, and I wish nothing but the best for him in life. Thank you again Tom and I really enjoyed reading your book.

@LordJackass Год назад

I met a guy who met him in person while volunteering for comic con. He said Tom was probably the most humble guy he met. Tom stayed after hours and had a little girl skip the line so that she could go home for bed and still get his autograph. He was also incredibly nice to the staff and asking if they needed anything.

As he said the intervention part kinda comes unexpectedly. While i was reading the book i was giggly and laughing to the point i forgot where was i but 26. Chapter comes and suddenly he talks about his struggles. To be honest,in the book he kinda wrote it with a positive attitude and it feels light but thinking about the situation it probably was super tough. I wanted to see his face and emotions during last 2 chapters so badly and this interview helped. I can see the positivity in his eyes. Apparently he was always been the sweetest boy, just an enthusiastic one. I cannot say i started my harry potter journey, i take it slowly but i am so glad i started with him. He helped me feel better with his book i might say.

I absolutely love Tom Felton. I feel so happy watching his interviews what a lovely man he is. Mental health is something I can relate too, probably like a lot of us. It’s a tough journey. I’ve just stopped taking my antidepressants after 17 years.

@ash-gl6gu Год назад

@@stephanievazquez4384 I’m not sure how it was before but I think many of them started distancing themselves from the franchise after the whole JK controversy. I think Tom had mostly only good memories of it too and the others had some struggles. Dan had issues with alcoholism in the last films and Emma struggled with some depression and stuff. Maybe they associate it with negative feelings and don’t want to go back. I wish they would embrace it more though. I’m glad at least Tom does!

@stephanievazquez4384 Год назад

@@ash-gl6gu Oh I didn’t know the other actors went through all those struggle aside from the whole JK controversy. It’s understandable to want to keep distance after that JK scandal.

I’m happy Tom looked passed that and embraced the franchise and the memories 🥰 I wish the others would embrace it too, it means the world to us that Tom does.

You are right, and i think Tom is the one who embraces his Potter past the most, and people responded wildly. Harry Potter is a classic at this point, and even gaining new fans from younger generations. So today, his appearance on social media and TV for Harry Potter-related content is truly a gift for Potter fans everywhere, and they love him for that.
