This afternoon Matthew Lewis was a guest on One on One with Liz Green where he discussed getting into acting, Harry Potter, watching himself act, friendships, living in Leeds and much more. He also chooses some songs that they play during the hour. The audio is now available on the BBC iPlayer, Matthew’s segment starts at 3:10.

Of note in the interview he mentions that he starts rehearsals for his new play, Our Boys, next week. The play will run from October 3rd, with previews starting September 26th. He also teases something, possibly related to Wasteland, but says it’s a secret and he can’t share. He did say a trailer should be coming out soon, with the movie hopefully releasing by the end of this year.
He also promotes the song Our Time, by Chris Stocks, that is being sold to raise money for charity. You can purchase the song on iTunes with all proceeds after iTunes commission to CANCER RESEARCH UK. There is also an accompanying video that you can watch on YouTube. The video was directed by his brother Anthony Lewis with cinematography by Chris Lewis and starring Bill Ward, Laura Carter & Sam Cunningham.
