It’s been 18 years since this star first graced our screens, and.
Nope, it’s not Neville Longbottom. Nor is it some random Hufflepuff, or a rogue Ravenclaw.
In fact, this burly actor is Stan Yanevski. If you’re still not sure, he was Hermione Granger’s love interest in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
That’s right, he in a big boat with Bulgarian Durmstrang to compete in the Triwizard Tournament against Beauxbaton Academy’s Fleur Delacour (Clémence Poésy), Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), and the ill-fated Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson).
It’s none other than Viktor Krum, who in the fictional wizarding world is also a Bulgarian Quidditch player. He’s also totally smitten with, Hermione. And even Ron Weasley, the titular character’s impressionable bestie, has a big old soft spot for this magical heartthrob.,
‘There’s no one like Krum! He’s like a bird the way he flies. He’s more than an athlete! He’s an artist,’ says Ron, in one memorable scene at the beginning of the 2005 film.
Now it appears the actor behind Krum, Stan, is into fitness – just like his sporty character – almost 20 years on.
Quite apart from his on-screen buzzcut, Stan wears his brunette hair quite long, and has a healthy dose of facial hair, as well as many tattoos down his arm.
He’s now open for Cameos – a video messaging site for celebrities to share personalised recordings for fans – and he’s only charging £29 per clip. Meanwhile, his.
‘Actor and influencer, fitness motivator, YouTuber and Instagrammer all round peoples kind of guy loving to see people smile and be happy,’ his Cameo biography reads.
His Instagram – on which he has 232,000 followers – is littered with outdoorsy adventures, and words of wisdom, like: ‘All our dreams can become reality if we have the courage to chase them.’
Stan also hung out with Potter co-star Tom Felton a few months ago, as he shared snaps of them together.
As well as being a motivator, Stan has also worked on a number of films since Harry Potter wrapped up all those years ago.
He also paid tribute to co-star Robbie Coltrane – who played Hagrid – when he died nearly a year ago aged 72.
‘I am deeply saddened to have heard the news of the passing of Robbie Coltrane,’ he began on social media.
‘I had the chance of meeting and working with him for the first time on Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire where I had the pleasure of discovering what a giant of a man, funny, kind and always taking care of others he was.
‘Robbie will be missed by many from around the globe but shall live on as the beloved Giant Hagrid in all the pumping Harry Potter Hearts from around the world.
‘Rest in peace, Robbie. Condolences to the family.’
