Jason Isaacs thinks acting is 'silly'.

The 'Harry Potter' actor - who plays Lucius Malfoy in the movie adaptations of J. K. Rowling's popular books - has blasted his profession, branding it a "ridiculous" way to earn money.

He said: "Along the way, the idea that I get dressed up and pretend to be other people for a living has seemed sillier and sillier to me. Acting is an inherently narcissistic thing to do a lot of the time."

The 45-year-old British star says fame is "bizarre", and finds it strange that fans scream for him at movie premieres but treat him like a normal person the rest of the time.

He added: "It's rather bizarre for me that when I arrive at these events in a black tie, people are screaming as if I'm some amazingly in-demand person - and then when the thing is over, I wander out into Leicester Square, have a bowl of soup in Chinatown and get a cab home."
