Earlier this year it was announced that Matthew Lewis would be an ambassador to Eureka!, The National Children’s Museum, for their 25th anniversary. Matthew had the following to say about the museum, “As well as having fun, there’s a huge educational element. You’re let loose effectively, to discover. So kids have freedom, they feel much more in control and autonomous. That’s where I think Eureka! stands above the rest of museums, for children.”

Eureka! have shared a video where Matt talks about why Eureka! was so important to him growing up but why he still loves it today. Learn more about Matt’s story, and the stories of other ambassadors, on the Eureka! Stories website. A few photos from his latest visit can also be seen in the gallery.

Matthew announced via Instagram and Twitter that he designed a Neville Longbottom themed t-shirt to support children’s charities. It is available as a t-shirt, tank top, hoodie or sweatshirt! The products are available through Represent for 2 weeks, get yours before they’re gone!

Matthew started ‘from the bottom’ acting at the age of 5 and since then we have watched him change from geek to magazine-ready chic.

Whether he’s playing lovable, cheeky types or “dick heads” (his words, not ours), Matthew Lewis has always been on top of his game pushing his acting boundaries.

Regardless of where you and your dreams are in life, remember we’ve all got to start from the bottom.

So, I kind of designed this shirt and it’s got my 12 year old face on it. It’s a limited edition “Started from the Bottom” t-shirt. A portion of proceeds from every shirt sold will be donated to children’s charities. They’re only available for 2 weeks so get yours now. @represent link in bio to buy. #StartedFromTheBottom

Yesterday Matt Lewis visited Heathrow Airport to send off 200 children on their Dreamflight vacation. The young passengers had been hand-picked to go on the ten-day holiday by doctors and medical experts, having battled with serious illness, disability and trauma. They will visit a host of attractions, including SeaWorld, Disney World and Universal Studios.

Matthew had this to say about the day: “I read about what Dreamflight was and how amazing it was going to be for these kids that I jumped at the chance to be here. It’s been the most amazing day, it’s been a pleasure. All these kids have been looking forward to this for a really long time. It just takes me back to when I was a kid and went over to Orlando and saw some amazing things.”

The Press Association also released a video from the day. You can also view some photos in the gallery.
