British actor Jason Isaacs, 62, best known for playing the Death Eater Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, and more recently, wealthy businessman Timothy Ratliff in HBO’s hit TV series The White Lotus, has revealed that he once shared a set with “the worst bully ever.”

Isaacs has appeared in numerous films over the decades, such as Armageddon, Black Hawk Down, Peter Pan, Event Horizon, Dragonheart, and, of course, several Harry Potter films. As such, he has worked with several Hollywood stars, including Sam Neill, Brad Pitt, and Bruce Willis.

“I’ve seen all the tricks now; one famous, late, knighted actor literally physically shoved me out of the shot with his elbows,” he recently told Backstage.

Speaking about the same story to Vulture, Isaacs described the unnamed co-star as “the worst bully ever and a global icon,” saying, “[They] did all the old tricks of doing a completely different performance off-camera than on.”

He added that the situation “sucked,” and that before the incident he’d have “licked the ground that this person walked on.”

Was His Co-Star a Harry Potter Actor?

Being respectful, Isaacs doesn’t name-drop the star, whom he says was “knighted” and a “global icon,” but Reddit users are already speculating as to who it is.

While many will assume it’s a Harry Potter actor, Isaacs does not make any such indication.

Will Jason Isaacs Return to the Wizarding World?

Jason Isaacs is unlikely to ever reprise his role as Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter.

Recently, the upcoming HBO reboot cast Johnny Flynn as the new version of the character. But never say never. Recently, actor Tom Felton was cast as Draco Malfoy again, this time in the upcoming Broadway version of the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

There’s no release date for HBO’s Harry Potter TV series.

The White Lotus is now streaming.
