Michael Gambon had special pocket sewn into his Harry Potter costume for ciggies
July 12th, 2009 - 1:54 pm ICT by ANILondon, July 12 (ANI): Actor Michael Gambon has revealed that he had a special pocket sewn into his Harry Potter costume so that he could carry his cigarettes while shooting for the film.
The actor, who plays the role of Albus Dumbledore, was so tired of having to dash off the set for a quick smoke in between takes that he got a special pocket to carry cigarettes.
“I got the wardrobe to put a little pocket inside for them,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.
Director David Yates also admitted: “Michael cleverly conceals a packet of fags below the lower part of the gown.”
Gambon said that he would miss wearing the costume once the wizard series ends.
He added: “It is made of silk, its very fine and so easy to wear. I will miss that.”
Michael was given to play the role after Richard Harris’ death who earlier performed the part. (ANI)
