But, the talented 34 year old actor is hitting the theater-sorry, theatre-to star as Sam in 2:22-A Ghost Story, a supernatural thriller. West End is excited to have him.

Felton also shared a selfie with Jason Isaacs, his on screen dad from Harry Potter, Lucius Malfoy. The caption reads, “My father heard about this , play i was in @222aghoststory.” The comments section was having an absolute ball over the post.

Jason Isaacs was the one to initially post a selfie together, though. His post cracks a joke about Tom taking out the bins and calling him “my boy.” Awwwww.

Since Tom has been acting since the age of six, he will definitely crush the stage and give the audience quite a show.
