Interview: Matthew Lewis on SoccerAM

SoccerAM has posted a new interview with Matthew Lewis from this morning as well as an 8 minute video (I’m working on finding an embeddable version.) You can also see two photos here in the gallery.  In the interview he talks about Harry Potter, football and answers some fun questions about his costars.  He says he would rather score a winning goal against Manchester United than win an Oscar. You can read the full interview at the previous link or in the press archive.

Who is the best actor: Alan Rickman.

Who is the funniest off camera: Rupert Grint.

Who is the most intelligent: Daniel Radcliffe.

Who is the least intelligent: Probably me! They’re all pretty bright.

Who is the least intelligent, excluding Lewis: He’s going to kill me! Devon Murray who plays Seamus Finnigan. He’s going to kill me. I’m definitely below him.

Who was the latest on set: Either me or Emma Watson… doing her hair or something.

Who had the biggest trailer, entourage etc: Probably Rupert Grint! He had a pretty good setup; big screen TV, PlayStation, pool table, dart board – he had the whole thing going on.

And finally who is the longest in the shower… Alf Enoch… we’ll leave it at that!

SnitchSeeker Interviews Matthew

SnitchSeeker got the chance to interview Matthew Lewis recently and in the chat he talks about Neville, the series and more! You can read the full interview here or in the press archive!

SnitchSeeker: What scene in the Harry Potter series was the most demanding (physically or emotionally) to shoot?
Matt:
The scene with Ralph Fiennes was pretty intense. I remember being proper nervous about that. A lot of pressure. In those moments though everybody just sort of melts away and you’ve got to just get in the zone, become your character and get on with it and that’s what I tried to do. You’re nervous every minute before but as soon as you hear “action” all of Matt’s inhibitions fade away and you are whoever you’re supposed to be.

SnitchSeeker: If you could play any female character from the Harry Potter films, who would it be?
Matt:
What a mad question! Probably Molly Weasley because she gets some cracking lines and the final fight she has with Bellatrix looked like a right laugh.

Matthew Lewis Talks Al Pacino; On SoccerAM Tomorrow

In a new interview with The Telegraph Matthew Lewis discusses one of his favorite actors, Al Pacino, and how he helped him through one of the tough times in his career, doing Agatha Christie’s Verdict. You can read the full interview at the previous link or in the press archive.

After the Potter films, I was doing a stage play [Agatha Christie’s Verdict] and really struggling with it, thinking, “I don’t know if I can do this.” So I started watching Dog Day Afternoon, and when I was watching it for the fifth time, the director came in and I told him: “I’m just trying to draw something, anything from his performance. I know it’s not what my character is, nothing to do with it, but I’m trying to get some inspiration from the big man.” […] He’s into the Method, which is something I’d love to do, even though it’s so hard, an incredible commitment. I’ve never had any professional training, so I might try it one day – but not with the character I’m playing at the moment [in the forthcoming BBC drama The Syndicate] because he’s such an idiot.

[In] the Potter films, my character took a sort of journey, too. I was lucky because I had 10 years to do it, every year developing the character of Neville a bit more, changing him slightly while keeping the essential character. Which is the hard bit, not losing sight of who he is. Pacino had a helluva shorter time as Michael Corleone. But, looking back on it, you can’t imagine anyone else doing it.

Also, Matthew will be on Soccer AM tomorrow morning [I believe at 10AM] discussing HP and his new project, The Syndicate.
