Every once in a while there comes a project that the fans are extremely hyped out. The film becomes a hot topic in the media even before its release and the internet cannot seem to get enough of it. Fitting the bill is Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. The Ryan Gosling Margot Robbie starrer is perhaps one of the most awaited releases of the year. Moreover, the hype around the film remains the same following its release. And recently, Harry Potter’s Tom Felton fame joined the bandwagon as he expressed a peculiar wish.

Not long ago, one of the most anticipated releases of the year finally made its way to our screens. While movie lovers from around the world are talking about the film, it seems like Tom Felton is not that happy. The Harry Potter fame took to Instagram as he sarcastically compared his character Draco Malfoy from the movie to Ryan Gosling’s Ken. Felton surely knows what it feels like to dye one’s hair blonde for a character like he did in Harry Potter. The actor even penned down a hilarious caption as he wrote, “Kind of pissed I never got a call back #sLYTHERKen.
