Matthew Lewis has certainly come a long way since his Hogwarts days.
In Attitude magazine’s swimwear and underwear edition, the 25-year-old actor shows off his transformation from nerdy Neville Longbottom to sexy stud.
Lewis told the magazine he's been following a strict diet training regime for his up-coming role in the romantic drama, "Me Before You," in which he plays a triathlete and personal trainer. And boy does it show.
In images released by the magazine, Lewis leaves little to the imagination stripped down to his (very revealing) tighty-whities and an open cardigan that exposes his chiseled chest and abs.
"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling caught a glimpse Lewis’s steamy photos and took to Twitter to share her hilarious response:
A bashful Lewis responded to Rowling with a sweet apology, but Rowling ensured Lewis she will always support him :
Lewis told Attitude he’s relieved to be moving forward from his geeky "Harry Potter" days, and to be able to attend red carpet events as himself.
“I was excited, I guess, to go on the red carpet on the release of the last film and be me, and not to have to have the fat suit under my T-shirt. It was quite an exciting buzz.”
However, despite all the attention he's received surround his new status as sex-symbol, Lewis is remaining humble.
"I've never considered myself to be good-looking at all. Just average.”
Just average?! Whatever you say, Matthew Lewis...
