The objectification of former child stars is always a little weird. “Hooray! We can want to bone you without guilt!” However, everyone loves hot people, and that’s not to be denied, regardless of whether or not you watched them grow up on screen. Perhaps the most famous case of this is Matthew Lewis, of Harry Potter fame, who kicked puberty’s ass so well that “Longbottoming” became a culturally acceptable term for winning the war against your young body.
Earlier this summer, Lewis broke the internet (and J.K. Rowling’s brain) with a provocative photoshoot with Attitude magazine, and the photographer, Joseph Sinclair, posted an outtake to his Instagram account yesterday, and the Internet collectively lost their sh*t.
You win this round, nerds. You knew a good thing when you saw it long before the rest of the world caught on.
