Matthew Lewis: My Happy Valley facial hair is scaring fans
Matthew Lewis has revealed his new facial hair is scaring fans.
Lewis, 26 – who grew a moustache for Ripper Street before bosses at Happy Valley told him to keep the facial hair to play Sean Balmforth – said that the look is proving to be a “repellent”.
Speaking on This Morning Lewis said: “Funnily enough, no one comes near me when I’ve got this and I don’t know whether they don't recognise me or because they are terrified of me! I’m not sure which it is, but it’s quite the repellent!”
The former Harry Potter actor also teased fans about what they can expect from the finale of Happy Valley, saying it "doesn't look good" for his character who is a suspect for the murder of three women.
“We've got two episodes to go,” Lewis said. “We're going to have quite a lot of revelations in the next episode in regards to Sean and what he's been up to and why he's there.
“The problem with him is he's not quite an alcoholic but he's well on his way to becoming one and because of that he simply can't remember a lot of stuff and there are a lot of blackouts in his memory - that's why we have to piece together this jigsaw.”
The actor also explained how his former Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint (Ronald Weasley) has been running up restaurant bills in his name.
Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield he said: “I saw Rupert last month - and I’d not seen him for a few years - and we were in Orlando together for the new Harry Potter Wizarding World thing and he told me that he’d been going to this restaurant and I said ‘oh that’s one of my favourite restaurants’ and he said, ‘I know… because I’ve been putting all my food on your tab for the past several months!’.
“Apparently when he came in the manager was like ‘oh you’re Matthew’s friend’ and he was like ‘yeah’ and [the manager] said ‘is Matthew picking this up?’ and Rupert said ‘yeah, he told me to come down and said he was covering it’ and it’s been going on my bill ever since!”
