I was once sent an adoption request: Felton

A fan once tried to adopt Harry Potter actor Tom Felton and even sent him the official legal papers to begin the process.
The 23-year-old actor who plays evil Draco Malfoy in the wizard franchise, once received a “disturbing” request for him to divorce his biological parents and move from his native England to the US to start a new life with an unknown man, reported Femalefirst online.
“An American once tried to adopt me. It was the most disturbing fan mail I received. He was very serious. It wasn’t just a letter. He sent a binder of official documents that he’d filled out for me, so I just had to sign, change my name to Draco, then divorce my parents and go over to America to live with him,” Felton said. The actor who was just 13 when he first appeared in Harry Potter alongside Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe — said that when he started off in the movie industry he was merely a “rank amateur” who was picked for the role because he looked like his alter-ego.

For most women, life begins at 50
London: For women, life begins at 50. Yes, a survey has revealed that the best years of a woman’s life start once she is over 50, with 92 per cent of female respondents saying they are “happier than ever”.
Four in five feel as sexy as they did in their 20s and 86 per cent of those women with a partner say “sex is better than in their 20s”, the poll found.
The poll of 2,000 older women by Yours magazine also found almost three in four women over 50 thought that “being a happy, footloose gran is more fun than being a frazzled parent”, the Daily Express reported.
Fewer than a quarter “worry about looking old”, while 70 per cent would “turn down cosmetic surgery if it was offered”.
The survey also found the average woman over 50 “feels a whopping 21 years younger”, with women aged 60 feeling they are 39.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
