Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Dolbupps, became one of the brightest actors of the Franchise "Harry Potter". He appeared in all eight filmms of religious books, but a closer acquaintance with the character had to be at the film "Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix". And in the grand final of the story earlier, a clumsy schoolboy made a real hero, having killed the last Ceremonus of Volan de Morta - his snake Nagaine.
Now Lewis, like some franchise colleagues, complains that many associate it exclusively with the role in Harry Potter. At the same time, it is grateful to the films for the opportunity to work with Alan Rickman - one of the outstanding actors of modern cinema. In a recent interview for Podcast Inside of Youu, Matthew admitted that he got a courage to conversation with Rickman only on the last day of his filming. Before that, embarrassment simply did not allow him to chat with the idol.
"I approached his trailer and just said:" I know that today your last day. I just wanted to say that it was incredible to work with you so long. I know that we really didn't speak very much, but it was because I was horrified. And you were incredible. Thank you for allowing you to work with you for 10 years, have never shouted to me and treated each of us as equal, "Lewis recalls.
Rickman answered this speech in a warm and friendly manner: he invited a young actor in his trailer and treated him with a cup of tea, and then they talked about Matthew's future career, and Alan gave him several tips. This once again confirms that, despite the screen severity, behind the scene, the star was an incredibly good man, ready to always provide support.
