35-year-old Felton suffered from depression after the end of the ‘Harry Potter’ film series. Family and friends called for surgery as his drinking got out of hand and he was treated. “Part of the root cause was a genetic predisposition and a feeling that something wasn’t quite right in my life, something that I think we all experience from time to time,” the actor says of the addiction.
He received treatment and this taught Felton that there is a “resource”. “Recently I voluntarily returned to another clinic,” says the actor, without going into details. This has helped, but Felton also has a lot to do with swimming and walking his dog. “And if the weather is as bad as it was then, I know what to do. Saying I’m not okay has really empowered me.
