For years, Matthew Lewis the actor ONLY known for portraying the unfamous Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films, has shared a charming anecdote: that he wore prosthetic teeth and specially designed "sticky-out" ears to match the awkward, shy persona of Neville. According to him, these accessories were essential to transforming him into the character fans came to know. But behind the scenes, the story never did quite add up. In early interviews, Lewis emphasized the extent of the transformation, suggesting that once the props were removed, he barely resembled Neville at all. However, photographic evidence and earlier behind-the-scenes footage reveal that much of what audiences saw, including his famously misaligned teeth, may not have been prosthetics at all. In fact, Lewis didn’t appear to undergo any significant dental work until after the film series wrapped. The so-called “fake teeth” narrative began circulating in later interviews, leading some to question: was it a case of revisionist storytelling to create distance from his "unattractive" child-star image? This thread investigates the inconsistencies, because sometimes, the real magic trick… is misdirection.
>>214292712oh no
You niggas will make threads about literally anything. And then post it over and over again, for years
Got a long bottom bitch, call the hoe Neville
>>214292712Give it a rest, eh? Every day with this pointless shit.
>>214292712Matthew Lewis knowingly fabricated a transformation story, repeatedly told it for years, and used it to manipulate public perception to reshape his career, and feels no guilt or need to clarify the truth, that proves his sociopathic tendencies. Why does he feel the need to lie so much about his childhood? We all saw it
>>214292930Because it benefits him. Rewriting the past helps him control how fans see him today: attractive, confident, desirable. It’s manipulation, not just of image, but of truth. This pattern, lying to gain admiration, twisting facts without guilt, maintaining a charming public mask, reflects textbook sociopathic behavior.He’s not just rebranding. He’s deceiving millions. And if we excuse this in celebrities, we risk teaching kids that truth doesn’t matter.
>>214292930The far more pertinent question: why do you feel the need to create this shitty thread, over and over and over? Did he humiliate you as a child? What is this shit?
>>214292999Lying affects everyone around him. When Matthew tells the world that his “ugly” Neville Longbottom appearance was fake, that it was all prosthetics and not really him, it sends a message about how being awkward, different, or not traditionally attractive is something to hide or lie about.” That’s dishonest. It’s disrespectful to the people who accepted him for who he really was like Emma Watson who spent years growing up with Matthew. She watched his journey firsthand. Imagine how Emma might feel, hearing him pretend it was all just makeup, as if he was never truly that person.
>>214292712Matthew Lewis claimed Alan Rickman privately praised his acting shortly before Rickman’s death. But this story is completely made up.Lewis never mentioned it while Rickman was alive, and no one else saw or heard of it.He invented this tale after Rickman died to gain sympathy and boost his own image. Why is Lewis such a manipulative asshole?
>>214292712Really trying to push this one, aren’t you
>>214293245I legitimately think that this is the same guy who was pushing "Werner Herzog is le killing animals on the set"
>>214293097Not true though. He got taller and lost some weight after the first couple and they did mess with his appearance in Azkaban which he didn’t like though it meant he kept playing the role, you can see the teeth are different even to his naturally bad teeth
>>214292733You, however, will never make anything.*spits on you*
>>214293346its actually an improvement compared to his fucked up teeth, so why pretend he had to wear those to make his teeth worse? the fat suit is actually a lie, Ekow Quartey already said so
>>214292712In an episode of Michael Rosenbaum's Inside Of You Podcast, Lewis complained that Neville Longbottom has given him a reputation that is hard to shake in the film industry. Despite continuing to get surgeries to improved his appearance, Lewis revealed that it is frustrating to be viewed by the media as a character that he has not played in years and is viewed as an ugly ducking (which lewis insist that he isnt, he always was a swan).
>>214293097Maybe not the best analogy, but this is like fixating on a patient having a splinter when he's dying of a gunshot wound. Hollywood actors are pieces of shit, but on a list of their crimes, this would be on page 4,000 or something. This has to be something personal with you. Or maybe this is some weird performative lefty thing, where you're looking to gain attention for being the first to muscle in on some situation where X group (in this case, ugly people?) is being victimised? If so, then I think you'd be better off picking something else, mate. This is comparatively very trivial shit. Hollywood is full of pedo groomers, and your prime concern is that some bong actor (apparently) lied about wearing prosthetic teeth? How the fuck do you expect people to respond?

>>214292712please stop, despite years in harry potter, Matthew Lewis isnt as a standout actor. His performances have been serviceable, but never award-worthy and lets be frank without Harry Potter, he might not be remembered at all. hate other actor instead but not a complete nobody
>>214293469I get where you're coming from, in the grand scale of Hollywood’s problems, yes, this might seem minor. But the point of my thread isn’t to compare evils or pretend this is the worst thing happening. It’s about honesty, image manipulation, and how even “small lies” from famous popular public figures shape the way young people think about themselves. Matthew Lewis’s case is a focused example to explore a broader issue: how rewriting your past for attention, especially when it erases vulnerability or reality, sends the wrong message to kids and fans. It says: “If you were awkward or different, lie about it later.”That’s not trivial to me. It’s not about hating an actor. It’s about using one public example to show how lies, even “harmless” ones, contribute to the toxic culture of shame, insecurity, and image-obsession especially for young people.You might see it as page 4,000 material. That’s fine. But I’m not pretending this is page 1. I’m just not ignoring the pages others skip over.
>>214292712After Alan Rickman died, Matthew Lewis claimed Rickman privately praised his acting at the end of Harry Potter. But he never mentioned this story while Rickman was alive, and there’s no evidence it ever happened. It appeared only after Rickman’s death, when it couldn’t be confirmed or denied. It looks like a lie designed to boost Lewis’s image by attaching himself to a respected actor, using sympathy and nostalgia for attention.
>>2142935691. Pretending some kids/people aren't just ugly - and that, like it or not, humans are wired to recognise and prefer beauty - is denying reality, and isn't going to help them. 2. I might believe you if you didn't keep posting this thread over and over, and replying to yourself. This is about you.
>>214292733OH NOOOO WE COULD’VE HAD A FISHTANK THREAD HERE INSTEAD!!!!! OHHH GOD OHHHH THE HUMANITY
>>214293466>viewed as an ugly ducking (which lewis insist that he isnt, he always was a swan)Yeah he sounds so arrogant here
>>214293670(Got tangled up in my negatives there, but you know what I mean. Some people are good-looking; some people are ugly. Occasionally someone can grow into their looks, but regardless, people appreciate beauty, and that's just how it is.)
>>214293670No one’s denying that beauty impacts how people are treated, that’s exactly the problem. We’re taught to value image over character, and when public figures lie to erase their own past awkwardness like Lewis, it reinforces that harmful message. I’m not pretending ugliness doesn’t exist (we all saw Lewis in the movies); I’m saying we shouldn’t shame people for it or encourage dishonesty as a solution (like Lewis did).I keep posting because the message matters. When people shrug off manipulation and image-driven lies as harmless, it teaches kids that faking who you are is better than being honest. This isn’t about me, it’s about what we normalize and we ignored and tried to let go
>>214293158he was actually pretty good though, especially compared to grunt and runtcliffe
>>214292733Shut up, Longbottom
>>214293740he sure sounded arrogant when he called out Air Canada for having the worst service after he travelled to Toronto all over Twitter. Or when he complained that people still say "thats the kid from harry potter" and pretty got angry at his fans over it.in a few years, he is gonna do a Ellen Page and the truth will come out.
finally another real schizo at this board to replace the garaffalo one
The only notable thing about this guys career and the only narrative surrounding him is how he went from comically unattractive to presentable and hes trying to re-write that because its probably all he gets asked about
>>214293934I heard he got jealous of Emma Watson popularity after she had puberty, so he spend a good chunk of his harry potter movie to get several surgeries and dental work done. at least its not like Tom Felton which blew it all on BMW, Skateboard and cocaine
>>214292712do the roar
>>214293772>No one’s denying that beauty impacts how people are treated, that’s exactly the problemNo, you're denying the fact that humans are inherently wired to appreciate beauty/favour good-looking people, and acting like it's some culturally imposed behaviour that can be "unlearned". So this is a weird performative lefty thing. One has to wonder why you wouldn't focus on actresses bogging themselves rather than some C-list actor's teeth (fear of criticising women, maybe?), but regardless - fuck this; I'm out.
>>214293969Im glad you are out because you are the only one talking about politic in my thread exposing Matthew Lewis for his lies. It need to be said, it need to be talked about, if people were talking about it on other media, i would go there and read their shit, but i believe he might have used a lot of his money to push a certain narrative (i wont go as far as saying he is doing censorship yet)
>>214293929Oh no! Not Air Canada! They’re not allowed to be criticised eh
Why are British people so ugly when they're white people?
>>214293969also i hate women but /tv/ like every reasonable human being, but /tv/ isn't the place for that. I feel it belong in real life instead, in the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk.
>>214292712Matthew Lewis is like pirate software.At first, it looks polished, impressive like the real deal. But behind the surface, it’s built on something fake, unauthorized, and misleading.He took his real, awkward past the version fans connected with and replaced it with a cleaner, more flattering version of himself. Just like pirated software replaces authenticity with a hacked illusion, Lewis replaced truth with a lie to sell a better image.In both cases, the user gets tricked and trust breaks down.So why is it okay to hate pirate software, make hateful videos on him DAILY on the youtube, but making 1 single thread on /tv/ is such a bad deal.
>>214293969All I want, all a lot of us want, is for him to come clean. To admit that he lied. Because being honest after a lie takes more courage than pretending it never happened. And maybe if he does that, it’ll teach young people that the truth still matters.
>>214292712>>214294108Literal chatGPT slop
>>214293929>>214294032Canadian actress Sarah Gadon often has trouble with Air Canada
>>214292712It's funny how the worst looking child actor turned into the best looking adult.
>>214292712One day in London I saw Matthew Lewis scurry out of a natural hole ensconced within the galled branches of a tall oak, the gnawed and frothy corpse of a half-eaten infant child clamped firmly between his squirrel-like chops. There were several kind and very polite female policemen at the base of the tree, dithering about the grand roots, who were loudly attempting to negotiate with the former child star and and now kind of balding but still getting away with his receded-hairline actor. Neville unfortunately wasn't hearing any of it, he just kept scooping out bits of the gelatinous scarlet brain-slurry of his pilfered child and posing for two-bit men's fitness magazine shots. I don't even think he has any upcoming roles. He kept taking his fake Neville Longbottom teeth out of his mouth and putting them back in with this strange gormless smile like we were supposed to be startled by his transformation. After the Dailymail refused to run an article on their website, Lewis became visibly sullen and retreated partially back into his arboreal lair in a sort of worm-like slithering motion, refusing any further bartering. Anyway, eventually Tom Felton turned up after someone Cameo'd him for five dollars, and managed to wrangle Lewis down by promising him the role of Frank Longbottom in the upcoming Harry Potter tv series. Felton, after signing several autographs to the milling crowd of thirty-five year-old female fanfiction writers that trailed his every step, apologised for the entirety of the matter to the officers. Apparently, the child was simply one of thousands left in the surrounding park by teenage Nigerian mothers over the course of several years, and Lewis had been subsisting entirely on the ripe and nutritious jelly of their intracranial viscera for some time. Indeed, the remains of many more ragamuffins were soon found in the vacant cavity of Lewis's maggoty bore-hole, heaped for the coming winter.
>>214294566thank you for sharing my sentimentat first i doubted your story but when you mentioned the felton did a cameo for 5$ i knew it was true (you know he want to play again in the series right? you know he blew all his 14 million, right?)
>>214292712>awkward, shy persona of NevilleReally?
The True Chosen One
Don't listen to them, OP. This is the first time I've read one of your threads and this is MESSED. UP. I won't believe anything this dude says for the rest of his life.
>>214295082Thanks, liar should be held accountable. I also have a problem with the journalist going with his lies and promoted them also. They repeat all his lies, no question asked. But that is journalism in 2025.He should be held accountable for his lies, and the worst part is why couldnt he wait UNTIL the end of production? Mmmm its because like Maisie William (she forced the production to give a sex scene because Cercei, Daenarys, the blakc girl, missandre, HELL EVEN SANSA had sex scene but not her), he wanted to be taken seriously but he lied
>>214295164How do you know Maisie Williams lied?
>>214293961>BMW, Skateboard and cocainethat sounds infinitely better than plastic surgery
>>214295223the sex scene made 0 sense for her character, you can argue it was fan service but arya was still viewed as a child (still act like one) and actually still a child in the book. The new meta for young actress since Miley Cyrus is to turn into a slut in hope of being taking seriously and staying relevant (latest case in jojo siwa)i have huge doubt that production approached maisie to do the sex scene even though she claim that is the case (who the hell right mind would say otherwise, ya i wanted to get a sex scene so the audience would view me as more mature). Did Rickon and Bran had a sex scene? or the the 2 kids that brought bran north of the wall? did myrcella had a sex scene, joffrey and marg? what about tommen and marg sex scene (ya POST sex scene covered by sheets). the truth is she wanted that sex scene so badly that was about to sue them if she didnt get what she wanted. she is the only child who had a sex scene, and sansa was a rape and she didnt force any nudity on the audience because she didnt want to do it unlike the whore maisie williamsshe should date lewis, they are both liar, im sure if the movie were released later, lewis would have forced production to have a sex scene with emma watson
>>214294384>thread by autist obsessed with an actor nobody cares about attracts a second autist obsessed with an actress nobody cares aboutmany such cases
>>214296063Can’t blame him, Maisie doesnt deserve her own thread
>>214293381I've made 500+ YouTube videos which have provided me actual income for my shit posting. What have you done with your time?
What a fucking psycho
>>214296820Indeed he is, and he got away for far too long but I decided to start a documentary exposing his lies and sociopathic nature. I got the idea after watching Linda Binda on the Youtubes
