Dose.ca has posted a new interview with Matthew Lewis where he discusses his “hotness” and more. Read the full interview at the previous link or in the press archive.
Lewis was in Toronto Tuesday, taking questions from reporters before working Deathly Hallows Part 2’s Canadian premiere. And when Dose.ca asked how he’s reacted to the fuss over his newly noticed hotness, the actor couldn’t have been more stunned if you’d zapped him with a Stupefy spell. Or, at the very least, he was initially speechless — shrugging, then blushing, while the gathered reporters giggled in turn.
“Um — I’m very uncomfortable with all that, to be honest,” said Lewis, occasionally squirming while hiding his face with his hand. “Everyone’s very, very nice, it’s lovely, it’s very kind. But I’m — um — very awkward with it. It’s not something, again, that I’m used to. I mean — looks aside, for a moment — yeah, I’m so pleased to have the positive responses from reviewers and fans and stuff. Because this [Deathly Hallows Part 2] is the one that I really want to get right — for Neville, and the moments that Neville has in this film were kind of crucial. … And I wanted to make sure we nailed them. So to hear the critical responses, it’s lovely, and it’s very overwhelming. I don’t hear nice things often, so it’s very good.”
