Harry Potter's Neville Longbottom Looks Unrecognisable... Again

Is it Movember already? No?

Well, somebody tell Matthew Lewis, the actor formerly known as Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter movies.

Once geeky and awkward, the star is not only now a rippled hunk of beefcake, he’s now also busting a bristling moustache.

A moustache, we might add, which has set the internet alight.

Lewis, who was most recently seen in the BBC army-based comedy drama ‘Bluestone 42’, says that he’s growing it for work, though he doesn’t reveal what it is.

Must be either a 70s car dealer or a wartime spiv, though this shot below gives the illusion of the handlebar moustache, a fine thing if you can pull it off.

He took to Twitter to broach the chat about his facial furniture.

“I love being told to shave my moustache on a daily basis as if I’m somehow blissfully unaware that it makes me repellant to women. #itsmyjob,” he said.

It’s not the first time that Lewis has caused the internet to implode thanks to a brave new look.

Earlier this year, a photoshoot for Attitude magazine revealed that Mr Longbottom had suddenly become a pants-wearing thing of sculpted male beauty.

The revelation arrived with much consternation from Potter fans, who seemed to think that he would remain the same toad-carrying child from the movies.

Next up, he’s starring in the drama 'Me Before You’, alongside 'Game of Thrones’ star Emilia Clarke, Jenna Coleman, Sam Claflin and Charles Dance.
