Lying for Harry Potter Audition
At the casting for the Harry Potter movie, all child actors were asked whether they had read the book and their favorite moment from the series. The same question was asked of Tom when he auditioned for the role of Draco Malfoy, but Tom hasn't read the books. Like a real Malfoy, he lied, and when asked about his favorite moment, he repeated what the previous audition said. The director realized that Tom was lying, but because he thought it was just the kind of cunning that Draco Malfoy would do, he gave the role to Tom.
