The Yorkshire Post has a new interview with Matt where he talks about Harry Potter, his teeth, girls and more!
During that time the studio bosses not only made him wear a fat suit, they went so far as to push his ears forward with stuck-on bits of plastic. As for the teeth, they practically begged him not to get them bleached.
“It just helps with the whole image of Neville.” says Lewis. “He’s not supposed to look like Brad Pitt, the character is described in the book as being very round-faced.
“But from the third film onwards they started sticking the fat suit on because I just grew up. I simply grew taller and thinned out. As for the teeth, it was something I’d always wanted to do but it would have meant me wearing a brace for two years, which I just couldn’t do.
“In fact Warner Brothers said if I put it off until we’d finished filming they’d pay for it – and they did. But they were always keen for me to look less than perfect.”
So does he think he looks perfect now?
“Well…” laughs Lewis, clearly joking. “I don’t want to blow my own trumpet or anything…”
