Lewis still makes a lot of Harry Potter-related appearances, but when he appeared on the ‘Inside of You’ podcast hosted by Michael Rosenbaum, he said sometimes people ignore the journey it took the actor to get from Harry Potter to get down to where he is now.
Speaking on the podcast, he said: ‘I’ve been in dramas that have won BAFTAs and done all these kinds of things.
‘And I’m not bragging; it’s just like I’ve done all this stuff, and like 10 years later, it’s still like people are making the claim that I kind of Harry Potter jumped into this and completely ignored the journey it took to get there.’
