J. K. Rowling cannot handle her babies aka Daniel Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis growing up and posing sexy. When the famed author recently spotted a cover of the new-hot Lewis, who played quite pudgy Neville Longbottom, in a sexy cover for a gay magazine, she almost got the shock of her life and cannot help but tease the actor about it.

J.K Rowling saw Lewis wearing nothing but his underwear on the gay magazine, Attitude and tweeted directly Lewis about it, saying that she should have been warned first even though seeing the photo was not as bad as seeing Dan (Radcliffe) in Equus. Lewis replied and said the whole thing is certainly “awkward.”

Rowling however was quick to say that everything is all good. She tweeted that she would support Lewis in all the things that he wants to do. But could not resist another jibe by asking him to wear some clothes.

Inside the British magazine, Lewis touched on the topic of his transformation. After all, he did not look anywhere near what he looks now when he was still playing Neville Longbottom in the “Harry Potter” series. A lot of it has to do with the intense preparation he engaged in for his role as a triathlete in the firlm “Me Before You,” which has a release date of around a year from now -- June 2016. He said he transformed mainly because he did not touch alcohol anymore for quite a time.

"I spoke to the director and I said it'd be nice to get into the mind-set of someone like that, because he's not drinking alcohol, he's just eating salads all the time and I was very interested to know where you go to in your mind to have that level of commitment," Lewis told the magazine. "So I sort of gave up alcohol -- I say sort of, I have given up alcohol."

Lewis shared that he personally wanted to try such a “strict regime” so it was no big deal. Doing something like would make him really understand how it is to have a goal and then push for it “110%.” He added that good thing he has always been a sports lover.
