It\u2019s been 18 years since this Harry Potter star first graced our screens, and he\u2019s now absolutely ripped. <\/p>\n
Nope, it\u2019s not Neville Longbottom. Nor is it some random Hufflepuff, or a rogue Ravenclaw. <\/p>\n
In fact, this burly actor is Stan Yanevski. If you\u2019re still not sure, he was Hermione Granger\u2019s love interest in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s right, he rocked up to Hogwarts in a big boat with Bulgarian school Durmstrang to compete in the Triwizard Tournament against Beauxbaton Academy\u2019s Fleur Delacour (Cl\u00e9mence Po\u00e9sy), Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), and the ill-fated Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson). <\/p>\n
It\u2019s none other than Viktor Krum, who in the fictional wizarding world is also a Bulgarian Quidditch player. He\u2019s also totally smitten with Emma Watson\u2019s character, Hermione. And even Ron Weasley, the titular character\u2019s impressionable bestie, has a big old soft spot for this magical heartthrob., <\/p>\n
\u2018There\u2019s no one like\u00a0Krum!\u00a0He\u2019s like a bird the way he\u00a0flies.\u00a0He\u2019s\u00a0more than an athlete!\u00a0He\u2019s\u00a0an artist,\u2019 says Ron, in one memorable scene at the beginning of the 2005 film. <\/p>\n

Now it appears the actor behind Krum, Stan, is into fitness \u2013 just like his sporty character \u2013 almost 20 years on. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s now open for Cameos \u2013 a video messaging site for celebrities to share personalised recordings for fans \u2013 and he\u2019s only charging \u00a329 per clip. Meanwhile, his co-star Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe in the films) is charging \u00a3164. <\/p>\n
\u2018Actor and influencer, fitness motivator, YouTuber and Instagrammer all round peoples kind of guy loving to see people smile and be happy,\u2019 his Cameo biography reads. <\/p>\n
His Instagram \u2013 on which he has 232,000 followers \u2013 is littered with outdoorsy adventures, and words of wisdom, like: \u2018All our dreams can become reality if we have the courage to chase them.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Stan also hung out with Potter co-star Tom Felton a few months ago, as he shared snaps of them together. <\/p>\n
As well as being a motivator, Stan has also worked on a number of films since Harry Potter wrapped up all those years ago. <\/p>\n
He also paid tribute to co-star Robbie Coltrane \u2013 who played Hagrid \u2013 when he died nearly a year ago aged 72. <\/p>\n
\u2018I am deeply saddened to have heard the news of the passing of Robbie Coltrane,\u2019 he began on social media. <\/p>\n
\u2018I 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. <\/p>\n
\u2018Robbie 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.<\/p>\n
\u2018Rest in peace, Robbie. Condolences to the family.\u2019 <\/p>\n
