Sharing the emotional moment when Draco Malfoy came to life on screen and how his father, Lucius Malfoy, was there to see it, Jason Isaacs wrote a sweet note on Instagram. The actor shared a behind-the-scenes look at his big day with his 1 million followers on his Instagram account, writing, “I came. I saw. She won. You had your own huge shoes to fill, son, and you broke them balls like an ostrich’s egg. So brave. So proud. So happy to be there.”
In the snap, the two elder Malfoys were seen with Draco’s son, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, played by Aidan Close, with a hashtag attached, ‘Blondes have more fun’, referring to the signature mane of platinum hair that the wizard is known for throughout the wizarding world. Tom Felton commented on the dedicated post, “Thanks for visiting Dad. I’ve never been more proud to be a Malfoy ex,” continuing their reel-to-real-life relationship. They can be seen hugging tightly on the stage itself. The 62-year-old captured the moment he bowed, causing the crowd to applaud.
