Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis sent pulses racing when he ‘regrammed’ a photo from his Attitude shoot.

In the shot, the Bluestone 42 actor can be seen striking a pose wearing nothing but a pair of tracksuit trousers and leaving his very defined abs on full display.

After Sinclair posted the heart racing image, Lewis regrammed it alongside the caption: "A "regram" (is that what they call it?) from the one and only @josephsinclair. That boy got mad skillz with the camera."

The actor proved once again that he is nothing like his Harry Potter alter ego Neville Longbottom which prompted one fan to question: “What happened to Neville Longbottom.”

One follower posted “Dear god” alongside a string of flame emojis while another commented: “Excuse me while I go pick my jaw off the floor.”

Others questioned how the image was deemed not good enough to feature in the spread, with one fan writing: “That's an "outtake "???? Blimey!!!”

Lewis recently revealed that he was forced to switch his phone off after the magazine cover went viral.

Speaking to the Evening Standard he said: “It was a good thing to do, the only thing is that it went a little bit more high-profile than I anticipated.

“The reaction was crazy – I turned my phone off for a couple of days, it was just a bit weird. It’s all nice stuff being said, I can't complain about it, it’s very flattering. It’s just weird to have people talking about that.”
