Tim, who contemplates which of his family members might go down with him, is certainly a shocking character for many. But for <em>Harry Potter<\/em> fans, it might just feel like a familiar face\u2014Lucius Malfoy, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because both characters are played by Jason Isaacs, who brings that same intense, dark energy to each role. In a recent interview, Tom Felton, who played Isaacs\u2019 on-screen son Draco Malfoy in the <em>Harry Potter<\/em> series, shared insights into his enduring friendship with the actor. During the grand opening of a new <em>Harry Potter<\/em> shop in Chicago, Felton caught up with <em>People<\/em> magazine and revealed just how close he remains to Isaacs. \u201cI still call him \u2018Dad,'\u201d Felton said, noting their strong bond. The two last met when Felton was about to head off to Thailand to shoot <em>The White Lotus<\/em>. Felton said he was \u201cthrilled\u201d to watch Isaacs\u2019 performance in the show, clearly proud of his friend\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>As for <em>The White Lotus<\/em> itself, Felton had nothing but praise. He\u2019s a huge fan of the show, and he couldn\u2019t help but admire its beautiful cinematography and \u201cwickedly complex character storylines.\u201d He also mentioned how much fun it\u2019s been to watch and expressed his admiration for Mike White, the show\u2019s creator.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Isaacs, who\u2019s been receiving a lot of praise for his portrayal of the unhinged Tim, took to <em>Late Night with Jimmy Fallon<\/em> to respond to criticism about his North Carolina accent in the show. Some viewers weren\u2019t too impressed, but Isaacs, ever the comedian, poked fun at the backlash. He jokingly said, \u201cI was wearing a prosthetic tongue to do the accent. Durham, North Carolina, is hard to get your lips around. My real tongue is small, green, shriveled, and shaped like a pretzel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looks like Isaacs is handling the criticism with a sense of humor, proving once again that he\u2019s just as entertaining off-screen as he is on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White Lotus recently introduced viewers to Tim Ratliff, a deeply troubled father who\u2019s grappling with his crumbling wealth due\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":68868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[1317],"class_list":["post-68867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-tom-felton"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
