While in Australia for Supernova Pop Culture Expo, Matt Lewis was on the Lewis and Lowe Podcast to chat about some of his upcoming projects and what he plans to do in Australia. Listen to the interview here.
The interview is mostly chatting about his flight over, the other guests and Supernova, his plans while he’s in Australia as well as the recent obsession with his “hotness.” Read below for a transcript of some of the more pertinent questions.
Lewis & Lowe: I was doing some research […] and this doesn’t sound real, but I was reading about when you were filming Harry Potter being Neville Longbottom, that Helena Bonham Carter put her wand in your ear and ruptured your ear drum. Is that true?
Matt Lewis: That is absolutely true. It really hurt. It was in number five, and she was sort of torturing Neville in the scene and she had this idea, as it’s quite a sinister character that she played, she thought she’d stick the wand in my ear…
Lewis & Lowe: And she actually did it?
Matt Lewis: Yea, all the way. Perforated my eardrum. But being the professional I am I just carried on. It actually was the best take, they used it in the film. I’m fine now! I can hear you perfectly.
Lewis & Lowe: What are you up to now? Doing stage stuff?
Matt Lewis: Not at the minute. I’ve done a few bits and bobs. I just finished a film with Emilia Clarke which is out in March called Me Before You.
Lewis & Lowe: Is it good?
Matt Lewis: I’ve not seem the film yet, but the book it’s based on is brilliant, by Jojo Moyes and it’s a really really great novel. So fingers crossed we’ve made a good job of the film as well. Time will tell.
