Today we have two little bits of news. The first is a new promotional photo of Matthew Lewis from The Syndicate which you can view in the gallery.
Second, thanks to Kerstin, we have the full transcript from Matthew’s radio appearance on the Sara Cox show on BBC Radio One. You can read the full interview in the press archive! In the interview he talks about The Syndicate, Harry Potter, Rugby, his “lucky number” and more.
Sara: Now do you have season ticket with rugby? Can you get season tickets for these?
Matt: Yeah, you can indeed yeah. Longstanding at Headingly stadium yeah
Sara: Oh lovely. Do you ever get recognized? Was it tricky because you were in all eight Harry Potter films, so did you get recognized when you used to go to rugby?
Matt: Yeah a little bit. To be honest with you, the last couple of weeks it’s been more about The Syndicate, which has been a bit different. Um, you know sort of people don’t even mention Harry Potter, which is quite strange.
Sara: Oh, beautifully and subtly brought on to your new show that your plugging there.
Matt: Yeah, put that in there
Sara: I must say were looking at pictures of you here, we will definitely get on to The Syndicate in a moment. When you were Neville Longbottom, how should I put this, well I bet your mother loved your face, but you were a little bit porkier, you were a little, especially when you were very young. Then is it true when you were in the latter film they had to ugly you up a little bit because you had gone to darn handsome.
Matt: Um, well I certainly had to have quite a bit of makeup on in the last film or so, for whatever reason, I have no idea why. But um.
Sara: I bet when you walk on set they go, “oh no.” Because it probably happened with all the stars, I mean with Emma and with all of them where they just walk on set and suddenly they look a bit more chiseled and grown up and a bit like they’ve grown. Because kids take time to grow into their faces don’t they?
Matt: Yeah absolutely
Sara: And they were all “oh no Matthew’s gone all handsome on us.”
Matt: Well we all started at the ages of sort of nine, ten, eleven, and then finished when we were about twenty so
Don’t forget to catch the final episode of The Syndicate tonight at 9pm on BBC One!
