Hero Fiennes Tiffin Is Ready to Shed His Harry Potter Origin Story
- 5 years ago
Hero Fiennes Tiffin—smelling faintly of cigarette smoke and gently stirring his half-finished cocktail—has been talking about love and relationships for nearly half an hour when he finally drops the bomb. “Interestingly enough,” he begins, a little reticently, “I’ve never had, like, a proper relationship. I haven’t had a girl I would call my girlfriend.”
It’s a surprising revelation coming from the 21-year-old British actor, who is, frankly, quite adept at doing the kinds of things guys who get lots of girlfriends do. To sit across from him is to bear witness to a montage of heartthrob behaviors—he’s running his fingers through his hair, flashing a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it dimply smile, licking his lips before sailing into a particularly impassioned point. Oh, and there’s also the fact that his steamy portrayal of Hardin Scott in the upcoming One Direction fan fiction–to–film adaptation After, his first leading role, seems, well, practiced.
