Felton

Tom Felton and Jason Isaacs, who played platinum blond duo Draco Malfoy and father Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, reunited remotely via a video call in support of the British Red Cross. The two, like millions of people worldwide, are remaining at home and practicing social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic. During their chat, they discussed keeping busy, giving back and…Tiger King. Obviously.

Isaacs, 56, posted the video of their conversation on Instagram on Friday night, writing, “Malfoy Family Reunion. Sharing lockdown life. Draco and Lucius connect as part of @BritishRedCross #PowerOfKindness #PhoneAFriend. Try it. #HarryPotter #StayHomeSaveLives @t22Felton #TomFelton.”

“That doesn’t look like somebody in quarantine. That looks like somebody out in the beautiful Los Angeles countryside,” the OA actor said to Felton, 32, who was chilling in the backyard of his California home, where he lives with his dog, Willow, and a roommate.

“That kinda is our quarantine, really. We’re just hanging out in the garden,” the actor replied.

Everyone on social media might be freaking out about Netflix’s wildest documentary, Tiger King, but one Harry Potter star knew all about Joe Exotic before he became an online phenomenon. During a mini-reunion with his onscreen father, Jason Isaacs, Tom Felton revealed he once met Tiger King Joe Exotic — whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage — while filming the movie Braking for Whales.

Isaacs shared a video of the mini reunion on his social media account in order to promote the British Red Cross campaign to encourage people to stay home during the new coronavirus crisis. While the pair were discussing how they’ve been passing the time in self-isolation, both Isaacs and Felton mentioned that they had recently watched Tiger King, the outrageous series that profiles Maldonado-Passage and his years-long feud with Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin. It was then that Felton revealed he actually ran into the man known as Joe Exotic long before the rest of us.

“Weirdly, I did a film a year or so ago where we did a cross country trip and one of the stops was Oklahoma,” Felton recalled, referencing Braking for Whales. “We filmed in this bar and the owner of the bar was this nutter who walked in with the full-on mullet and the hat and … two guns, I think he had. We were all like, ‘Who the hell is this guy?’ And lo and behold, two years later, he’s got a documentary on Netflix.”
