Fans were quick to realise the link in his tweet led to the UK voter registration website. Lewis has been using his social media presence to spread awareness about the general elections set to take place on 12 December.
Here is his tweet

Other celebrities like Hugh Grant, musician Stormzy, Riz Ahmed, Rob Delaney, and rapper MIA have been actively encouraging their UK fans, especially the youth, to register for voting.
Fans have been eagerly hoping for a reunion but Warner Bros is currently concentrating on the making of a third instalment of the Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts. It was recently reported the upcoming film will be set in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamandar, Jude Law, who appeared as Album Dumbledore, and Johnny Depp, as Gellert Grindelwald, will be joined by Ezra Miller as Credence Barebone aka Aurelius Dumbledore, Alison Sudol as Queenie Goldstein, Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski, and Katherine Waterston as Tina Goldstein. Jessica Williams' character Professor Eulalie "Lally" Hicks, who made a brief appearance in The Crimes of Grindelwald, will have a larger role to play in the upcoming feature.
In a recent interview, Tom Felton, better recognised as the antagonist Draco Malfoy, was asked whether the original cast would ever reprise their roles. Felton dismissed the possibility, and told Red Carpet News TV, "How much you offering? I’m joking. I don’t think it will be reprised, to be honest with you. I think it was a wonderful eight chapters, and everything that needed to be done was done."
