The Honolulu Advertiser presents a very funny interview with Jason Isaccs, the man better known as Lucius Malfoy in the Potter movies.&br;&br;"Short hair? Pinstripe suits? For the snotty wizard Lucius Malfoy?&br;&br;No way, says British actor Jason Isaacs, who plays the devious Malfoy in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.'&br;&br;'The original idea was for him to have short, dark hair with blond tips,' Isaacs says by telephone. 'There was also talk of pinstripe suits. I said, 'Absolutely not.' '&br;&br;Instead, Isaacs sweeps onto the screen with shoulder-length white hair, sneering at Harry Potter and the Weasleys from behind rich, flowing capes. Now that's what a wizard should look like, Isaacs says.&br;&br;'It's not often you get to play a wizard,' says Isaacs, 39.&br;&br;So it's the long, blond hairdo and the sweeping robes for Malfoy. Who does Isaacs think he resembles in all that hair?&br;&br;'I look like Iggy Pop or Jerry Hall," he says, "or perhaps early Cher.'"&br;&br;HonoluluAdvertiser.com
