| | |  Great Ormond Street Hospital interviews Tom Felton (UPDATED)
Just before Christmas last year Rupert Grint and Tom Felton (Draco) visited the children at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, England. Tom has now been interviewed by them, talking about fitness, illness and health. The article also includes a new photo of Tom which can be seen here.  Quote: Do you have to be fit for your job? If so, how do you do it?
Yes, I suppose you do in many senses. You have to be physically fit to concentrate for long periods of time. And we have to be able to snap into it very quickly – so I can’t be sitting around and falling asleep!
Quote: Have you ever had to stay in hospital? How was it?
I have. It’s a very powerful time in your life. I spent four nights in hospital about three years ago for a collapsed lung.
I actually found out about it on a medical for the fourth Harry Potter film. They said I wasn’t fit for work and there was a large pocket of air in my lungs.
I have never been in hospital except for visiting friends and family so I was scared but it gives you insight into what life is all about.
Credit to the nurses for being light-hearted. They treated me best by having some banter. Luckily my mum and friends were there too.
I was there about four nights and in that time I made very good friends with a blind man who was next to me. He told me all his stories.
Source: FeltBeats UPDATE: For those interested, here is a VIDEO explaining how a lung can collapse.  | |

Aww that's a really sweet story, and he has a nice view about spending time in hospital. Obviously not a nice thing but he seems like he found something out from it.

Hey love the article like the rest of you I never knew Tom had a collapsed lung and was in hospital. Luckily I have only had to stay in hospital once and it can be scarey at any age

Yeah, I've been in the hospital before, and I know what it's like to be the patient instead of the visitor

that's sad to hear about the collasped lung, good interview. It's great that they visit hopsitals. I was in the Shriner's hospital in St. Louis for a disigrated hip. I havent' been back for four or so years. Those things like that really get you thinking into perspective about things. Hope Tom's doing alright with his lung!!

Maybe that's why he wasn't seen so much in the fourth one. =[
Granted, his character didn't play a big part in GoF...still.

I had no idea Tom had suffered a collapsed lung
It's great that they take the time to visit hospitals - it must make a real difference to the children
Great interview!

Hmm I never knew,either,that he'd had a collapsed lung.That must have been scary when they told him.
I've been in hospital once...to have my tonsils out.
