Any tattoos?
Matthew Lewis. The “11” number on my arm. It was my number when I played sports. And I have a feather tattooed on the other arm. Everyone thinks it’s a reference to ‘Harry Potter’, but it’s not. I was just very drunk one evening in Germany. I followed a friend, and the next morning, I woke up with this tattoo!

The biggest star you met?
Matthew Lewis. Paul MCCARTNEY! That was in 2010, on my birthday. I went to his concert in Hyde Park, and I was invited to the after-party. It was a very intimate evening. I spoke for a long time with his drummer, and suddenly, out of nowhere, he asked where the toilet was. No sound came out of my mouth. When he came out of the toilet, he wished me a happy birthday. It was during the World Cup and England had just lost against Germany, so we drank and drowned our sorrow together.

Are you very connected?
Matthew Lewis. I’m on Twitter a lot, and I’m gradually starting to use Instagram. I just bought an Apple Watch. I do not have a lot of apps on it, just simple ones, like a calendar. I forget everything, I am much worse than Neville, I’m a nightmare.
People often ask you to take selfies?

Between us, do you use your popularity to your advantage?
Matthew Lewis. No, the idea makes me uncomfortable. I feel that no one knows who I am, then I would never use my name. For example, everyone wondered if Apple offered me the Apple Watch. No, I bought it myself! I would be too afraid to go to Apple to ask for one and nobody knows who I am!
It seems that it is torture to watch the movies …
Matthew Lewis. It’s unbearable, it is a very painful experience. I saw all the “Harry Potter” at the premieres but I re-look on forever. I hate to see myself on screen!
