Hometown Interview with Kellan :)

The Dikinson Press has this real cool interview with Kellan:




The “Twilight” movies have raised vampire worship to a blood sport.
And right in the middle of it all is Kellan Lutz, a Dickinson native.
The former Abercrombie & Fitch model plays Emmett Cullen, the burly but laid-back brother to Robert Pattinson’s angst-torn lover/vampire Edward.
Since he joined the “Twilight” franchise, the 24-year-old Lutz has become a regular “It” boy in the notoriously fickle world of Hollywood.
He is slated to appear in “Eclipse,” the third installment of the “Twilight” series in 2010, as well as in the “Nightmare on Elm Street” remake and an indie drama, “Meskada.”
And the muscular, 6-foot-1 Lutz is making female fanpires swoon, whether he’s gamely performing push-ups at a fan tour in Atlanta, appearing in a Self magazine photo shoot with his “Twilight” co-stars or finding himself suddenly handcuffed to an overzealous fan.
Even so, Lutz found a few minutes in his schedule to speak to The Forum.
On his early years in North Dakota:
“I was born in Dickinson. My dad grew up there; that’s where my parents (Brad and Carla) met. My mom is very charismatic; my dad is more laid-back. My dad’s family did a lot of construction in the area. They built the Ralphy’s (restaurant/bar) in Dickinson. They also built a lot of apartment complexes and gas stations.
“It was a really small town when we were all there. I remember it was very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. I fell in love with the cold there. I remember my Mom showing pictures of me running naked in the snow. We’d take trips to Bismarck and Fargo, but there was something about being in that small town. I don’t know what it was. It just made me happy. The air is clean; the people are always so nice.
“I believe I was 6 when we moved away. After my parents divorced, I went with my mother and my father went to L.A. We moved around a lot (throughout the Midwest and Arizona) and tried to find a new home, in a way. A lot of those years we moved around so much that I have very few memories of that time. I would see Dad at Christmastime in L.A., but he had his own hardships. He was on his own, too. He was trying to make his own life in L.A.”
On his grandparents in Dickinson:
“It was always fun to come back to see (his dad’s) parents, Ralph and Hazel (Lutz). They had an amazing house, with a sauna and chandeliers and mirrors on the ceiling. They were just so awesome. I could always make them laugh.
“But their health went pretty quick, probably from the hardships of trying to run a business. Grandma died two years ago, and grandpa had died a couple of years prior to that. Since Grandma passed, they sold the restaurant and the house, but I still have some uncles and cousins there. I’ve wanted to come back.”
On his canceled appearance last summer at a Mott tractor pull:
Lutz said his “Twilight” shooting schedule, which was especially heavy because he did his own stunts, kept him from attending the North Dakota event. “I wanted to do the tractor-pulling contest so bad. I loved tractors. My grandpa used to let me drive combines and one of those tractors to cut the lawn, and I thought I was so big. It’s a bummer. It’s always tough, but I was focused on doing the work (shooting for “Eclipse.”) They get fearful if you fly out. My personal appearance guy and I were hoping for the best, and it’s tough when you’re not able to make it.”
On playing a dark-haired, pale vampire when he’s a blond, Nordic type:
“The more you stay out of the sun, the less makeup they have to put on you. I tan easily, so I try to stay out of the sun so they don’t have to do so much work in makeup. It’s fascinating that some people don’t even recognize me (as Emmett). It’s cool to be an actor who can change their look, build and walk, and not be seen as Kellan, in a way. It’s fun for me.”
On the oddest thing a fan has ever said to him:
“‘Will you marry me?’ Or ‘Could I handcuff myself to you?’ — and they actually had handcuffs.”
On his relationship with his father:
“He’s just a successful, brilliant, intelligent man. He came over last night and we ordered $50 in Pizza Hut and watched the Lakers game. He came with me to Vegas for Halloween. It was so cool seeing him and hanging out with him. One of the main reasons I moved to L.A. was mainly because my father lived here. I had only seen him a couple times a year for 12 years. We never had a dad-son relationship.”
On his future plans:
“We’re working on three action movies. I want to be like Jason Bourne and take over that franchise. I love doing stunts and shooting guns and doing fight scenes. Blowing things up and doing jiujitsu and shooting guns, that’s my forte.”

And Agaain Boston ;)




“Twilight” vampire Kellan Lutz is a huge fan of Matt Damon and says he wants to be just like the Cambridge cutie when he grows up - you know, career-wise.
“I love how he’s very versatile and does romantic comedies to thrillers to action dramas,” the 24-year-old actor told the Track. “I would love to be a realistic action hero like Matt Damon in the ‘Jason Bourne’ franchise. I don’t need a fast car to drive or special weapons. I just love how Bourne has the brains to figure out his situation.”
For now, Lutz will have to settle for starring in the hottest sequel of the year, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” with Tinseltown’s are-they-or-aren’t-they twosome, Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart .
 
Lutz, who plays the role of Emmett Cullen in the vampire-book-series-turned-movies, still doesn’t have a full understanding of the “Twilight” tsunami deluging malls and movie theaters across America.
“I really don’t think I have a grasp on what this phenomenon is, just because we are kind of in this ‘Twilight’ zone,” said Lutz, who signed autographs for hundreds of screaming fans at the Natick Collection last night. “It’s been ‘Twilight’ the last two years and it’s going to be ‘Twilight’ the next three years, promoting the other movies. But it’s amazing to be part of something that has such amazing, loving fans that are supportive.”
But sometimes the Twi-hards can get out of line!
“This one fan brought her baby in and she wanted me to sign her baby’s forehead,” he laughed. “The baby was bald and she wanted me to permanent marker the baby’s forehead and I was like ‘No! Can I say no to that? There are some really bizarre things.”
Although Pattison and co-stars Taylor Lautner and Cam Gigandet get most of the female attention, Lutz’s alleged romances are also hot Hollywood gossip.
The fang-tastic blond wouldn’t say whether he is currently keeping company with “90210” vamp Annalynne McCord, but he did describe his ideal woman.
“I love confidence,” he said. “I really like a female who can hold her own and just feel comfortable in her skin and is not trying to impress anyone. I love a girl who knows how to book a flight or find movie showtimes. Someone who is a little tech-savvy. I love a girl who’s competitive. I don’t need to win all the time, but I do love someone who can give me a run for the money. I also love a girl who is just intelligent.”

Kellan Lutz Visits Boston


Kellan Lutz has a pretty good gig. In between his roles as Emmett Cullen in the vampire saga “Twilight,” he gets to travel around the country and listen to hundreds of teenage girls chant his name.


Several hundred of those teenage girls, among others, screamed themselves hoarse Thursday night when Kellan made an appearance at the Natick Collection shopping center in Natick, Mass (close to Boston). He was originally set to appear with costar Ashley Greene, however, a picture of her head on a stick served as a replacement.
“This is great,” he said about all the adoration, shouting over the squealing hordes. “I wish I could do this every day!”

Kellan’s appearance was part of the “New Moon” Mall tour. He, as well as several other cast members have traveled around the country promoting the sequel (stops we've covered here on Crush, include Hollywood, Illinois, New Jersey, Minnesota and Atlanta), which opens in just one week! In between the shrieks of joy, Kellan was able to discuss his childhood ambition to become an actor.
“I grew up in the Midwest, I didn’t realize you could just be an actor,” he said. “I thought it was like being an astronaut. But when I was a kid I used to put on plays for myself.”


Before his main appearance, Kellan took the time to get photos taken with 75 VIP fans. Another 500 fans got to have their "New Moon" posters signed. Many fans were completely undone by their proximity to the “Twilight” hunk.

“He’s just amazingly hot!” said Alexandra Foye, a 17-year-old from Millis, Mass. Alexandra and her friend Maggie Delaporta, 17, also of Millis, had been waiting at the mall since 3 p.m., four hours before the actor was slated to speak.


The band Hurricane Bells (pictured above) performed several songs, including “Monsters,” their song on the “New Moon” soundtrack. Front man Steve Schiltz said they were only told that their song would be included about two months before.
“It’s just crazy,” he said. “I mean, you just look around you. We’ve never played a mall before.”
The event also had free makeovers, giveaways and, of course, plenty of merchandise. Kellan said the tour has showed him the ardor that “Twilight” fans have for author Stephenie Meyer’s creation.
“Doing this has been a roller coaster ride,” he said. “We really are in the ‘Twilight’ zone.”

The Boston area turned into the Twilight Zone with an appearance by Twilight movie actor Kellan Lutz. Lutz plays vampire Emmett Cullen in the movie series. The latest in the series, New Moon, will be released November 20th.

"It's a different type of movie," said Lutz in an interview at a downtown Boston hotel. "It's a different tone, a darker movie, more male friendly and there's a lot more action."

Lutz is in town to promote the movie at appearances at the Natick Collection. On Halloween, the store Hot Topic sold Twilight t-shirts which came with a wrist band admission to meet Lutz.

Allison Aries, 13 years old, couldn't wait to see him.

"I'm so excited," she said. "I freaked out when I found out. He's like one of my favorite characters."

And it isn't just the teenaged girls going wild over Twilight. Camille Forziati of Medford slept in the mall overnight with her daughters, Felicia, 16 and Michelle, 23 to get the chance to meet Lutz.

"She stayed up 24 hours for us," said daughter Michelle.

Her mom chimed in, "Yeah, My back was killing me but I had a really good time."

Something you might not know about Lutz is that he's a huge Patriots fan. He had tickets for last week's game and plane reservations, but had to cancel at the last minute because of the movie promotion tour.

How does a North Dakota native become a New England fan?

"I always loved Randy Moss," he said. "He was with the Minnesota Vikings and I kind of just follow him wherever he goes. And Tom Brady, I just think he's a stud."

It's apparent, that's what the young and not so young ladies think of Lutz. As he poses for pictures and signs autographs, the 24 year old drinks in the attention, much like a vampire drinks blood. He's enjoying it and knows it's the chance of a lifetime.

"I love being part of something like this. It's every actors dream, some work 20 years to be a part of something as magical as this is."

Kellan will be honoured for his charity work!!




OMG Finally! As we already reported, Kellan loves to do Charity work. Now he will be honored in December according to E-Online!

Congrats, Kellan Lutz!
I just got word that the New Mooner will be one of just about five honorees at the upcoming Variety Power of Youth event. Mr. Lutz is being recognized for his work with abused, neglected and abandoned children at the Royal Family Kids Camp.
Power of Youth awards will be given out on Dec. 5 at the Paramount lot in Hollywood.
And you thought only Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart got all the attention!

BBC Switch Live Prom King Award

For now we've got jst a picture. We hope we can show you the video soon :))

New Interview - Robert Pattinson: “Some fans scare me”



Everywhere he appears, teenage girls start screaming. And he didn’t even bite them. A conversation with teen idol Robert Pattinson, alias the vampire Edward Cullen from Twilight.

It’s been since Leonardo DiCaprio that an actor has been so intensely worshipped as Robert Pattinson. Thousands of girls (an older women) everywhere would love to have Edward bite them – Robert Pattinson in real life, R-Pattz for his fans.

How do you deal with all the media-craziness? There are books about your life-story, and you aren’t even dead yet.

RP: Yes, I saw that there are 7 unauthorized biographies, and they all start at my 20th. I think Im dealing with it as good as possible. The past year, I have been working non-stop so the biggest Twilight craziness passed me by. My life and Twilight, it are 2 separate things.

Being famous is a lifestyle, but Im only a foetus in that celebrity-world. Im better at it than in the beginning, but I would hate it if there would be people hanging around my house for the rest of my life. It would drive me crazy. Why do people want a picture of me and them at all costs? I don’t get that. I think of myself as boring.

How different was shooting New Moon in comparison with the first part?

RP: Very different. With the first movie, there were a lot of people all pulling in a different direction. The studio wanted to create a basis for a franchise, because it had already been settled that it would be a trilogy. The bosses thought the movie had to appeal to as much people as possible. Director Catherine Hardwicke had made a lot of independent movies and she sometimes was like an unguided projectile, she had so much energy. Kristen and I had our own ideas about the characters and we both are rather stubborn.

But the mega success of the first movie has made everyone more calm. We are less insecure. The studio bosses know that we are going to make the right decisions. We also have Chris Weitz as the new director. He’s very calm and got everyone ready very fast. We have all worked so hard.

Have you seen New Moon a few times yet?

RP: Once. I still think it’s a torture to see myself on the big screen. But this time it wasn’t a punishment. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it. That hadn’t happened since the beginning of my career.

Don’t you think it’s frightening to see how obsessed some fans are?

RP: Definitely. When the Twilight hype broke out, I sometimes had visions of my getting stabbed by a crazy fan. Those crowds at premieres… Im not at ease. When we were shooting New Moon in Vancouver, some fans would be out there for 3 days in a row, good or bad weather. At times like that, your instinct tells you: that is a weirdo and your imagination runs wild. But mostly it’s not so bad when you go and talk to that person.

Twilight is just my job, but for a fan, it’s something they desperately want to be a part of. Is that wrong? Im not so sure anymore. A fan is a fan, that’s all. It just takes a while before you get used to the fact that what you do, gets appreciated by people.

Have you ever been a fan of someone?

When I first saw ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’, I was 16 and that movie has influenced me so much. I even started to dress like Jack Nicholson. That period lasted for a long time. I also had a thing for Patricia Arquette. But I don’t think that any of that has influenced my work. (laugh)

In New Moon, the young Taylor Lautner plays a wolf, Jacob. What did you think when you saw his muscles?

RP: That I needed to hit the gym stat. (laugh) No, I think it’s ok. It’s funny: for some reason, when you’re an actor in a teen movie, they expect you to have a six pack. So when I see a guy that meets every expectation of a teenage girl, I do get a complex yeah. Actually, that was perfect to get into my role. I now know the feeling of having to prove myself against someone younger than me.

You have a great connection with Kristen, that isn’t a secret. But in this movie, there’s also a lot of chemistry between her and Taylor. Were you jealous?

RP: No. In New Moon, we only have like 3 scenes with the three of us. I barely had the chance to be jealous. When I had to work, Taylor wasn’t around because Bella and Jacobs story line was developing without me. In Eclipse, the third movie, which we wrapped a while ago, it’s totally different. There’s a lot more interaction between the characters. Taylor and I were teasing each other the whole time.

This time, Taylor is the leading man. Does that take some pressure off your shoulders?

RP: Asolutely. I keep on saying this is Taylors movie. Im not the lead role. He’s fully responsible and that’s a win-win situation. If it’s a flop, I can always say that it’s because Im in it less. (laugh)

What’s next on your agenda?

RP: It has been a weird year. I have been working non-stop, with 4 days off at the most. First there was New Moon, then Eclipse. I was pretty relieved when we could wrap at the end of October. I finally got to sleep in. But we didn’t get much rest, with the promo tour for New Moon coming up. In February I will go to Budapest to shoot Bel Ami. Not with Nicole Kidman, as reported first. I can’t say who it is yet. Ive also signed on for Unbound Captives, a romantic drama with Rachel Weise. But chances are that before all that, Im expected on the set of the forth Twilight movie.

Megan Fox is the most beautiful woman in the world and she said that title has made her shy. What do you think of the fact that some magazines call you the most sexy man on the planet?

RP: God, I don’t even think I’m a real man yet (laugh)

New Cannes Interview




From Twilight Poison

This is another just-released interview of Rob in Cannes. This was for Clarin.com, an Argentinian newspaper. Lots of New Moon talk, and some nice quotes. Here is the complete translation.


Edward has a much smaller role in New Moon. How much was this changed for the movie?
It didn’t change that much. Or maybe it did. There’s a sort of new image of me that Bella sees, or creates. You’d think she went mad. She thinks she has visions. I’m not really that much in those scenes. Those scenes are mixed with memories of her, and fantasies.

The tension for preserving the virginity is a very important subject in the saga.
In many ways it is. I think this was done because Stephenie loves that kind of tension; having an unfullfilled desire the whole time, that’s the best kind of love. Makes everything more dramatic, romantic, tragic. People can see it in many different ways.

But how do you see it?
I always try to find the best in everything. Edward is a very human character, and I’m like him in many ways. He doubts himself a lot. But he wants to do the right thing. He’s a normal guy, he makes mistakes. And it’s funny how fans see him as a perfect guy. He’s not; he’s a jealous person. But he does try to be a good person while following his heart.

Why did you prefer to be an actor and not a musician? Or do you think you can be a musician as well?
I think in many ways you can do both, but it’s very hard to follow both careers seriously. And to be honest, I wasn’t very interested in making money with music. I make music for therapeutic reasons. But music can help acting, timing wise. You become less shy. It’s like when you’re with people, there’s a barrier. You feel naked. I think that helps.

Robert shares with us that he’s writing music for a movie.

“Yes I wrote music. I’m writing music for a movie, but it’s just the music. I won’t be singing in it”.

Will you ever write music for any of the Twilight films? (score)
The music I’m writing is for a movie that it might never get made.

What’s your favorite instrument to play? What you’re instrument of choice when you’re composing new music?
I play the guitar a lot because you cn’t take a piano everyhere (mimics the movements and laughs). I like the feeling that I get, I love it. But I played the piano before I played the guitar. I’m starting to play a lot again. It’s always nice to play again. I love Van Morrison and all that 70’s music.

You travel all over the world, that must take time for you to do the things you like to do. Does it bother you much, or how much are you willing to take?
I don’t mind the commercial aspect. I must say, if I could do the same things I’m doing right now without having anyone know who I am, I’d love it. When you’re very famous, you can’t lead a normal life anymore and that’s scary. You might not be able to relate to normal things again. You can’t walk into a building, you can’t sit down for coffee anymore and find inspiration to do things. People asking for my autograph, I can’t relate to that. That’s not interesting; it’s annoying. And it’s very scary to think that you’ve lost any normal life you had. I’m still new at this, but you know what? The fans love Edward, not me.

I read somewhere that you love Jack Nicholson and that he’s you role model.
Yes, in a weird way. It has to do with the decisions he made in his career. It’s strange, but I don’t think there’s another actor as coherent as he is. And with the same quality of work.

Is there any younger actors that you like?
Romain Duris. And Val Kilmer.

You’re the most talked about person on the internet, do you read what people say about you?
I did it for a few months, but I’m done with that.

Why?
It’s easy to become obsessed with it. ‘I have to change’. When everything starts, that’s what you think ‘I have to change’. Why? It’s so stupid. A bad article can really get to you. And if you keep looking…

Did you travel with friends? Did you bring anyone to Cannes?
No, I’m here by myself.

Where do you live right now?
Nowhere. I’ve been working for the past year and half. I have no home, or anything.

Do you feel like establishing somewhere? Buying a house, maybe in LA?
It doesn’t make sense, I don’t go there very often. I’m maybe there one week at a time, stay in hotels. But it would be nice to have a place wher I can out down all my things.

A place to call your home? Or just a place where you can leave all your things?
I have a lot of books, but I don’t care very much for other posessions. I only have suitcases in my hotel rooms.

Twilight-Hysteria: Vampires and Teen-Blood

Munich. He is pale, he wears worn out shirts most of the time and apparently he rarely takes a shower. His co-star hates parties and gets caught with straggly hair constantly.
Robert Pattinson (23) and Kristen Stewart (19) attach great importance to an unglamorous lifestyle. Yet they are role models for millions of teenagers all across the globe. They are the stars of the "twilight"-vampire movies - the most successful movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestseller. There is hysteria wherever these two go to. Not even a real vampire could cause worse screaming.

"It may seem so but this is not our everyday life," says Stewart after her appearing infront of the screaming crowd. She is styled ungirlie on purpose and acts shyly. Pattinson rubs his beard and clearly enjoys being a guy with edges.

We are told that personal questions are not allowed. Otherwise the press conference would be cancelled immediately. They take good care of those three. It stands open if they like it. As well as the question how it will go on after the saga gets finished. Maybe the fans have to calm down first, agrees Pattinson: "If you are in the eye of the storm, there are many things you don't notice"

The Twilight-Visit

The appearance of the young actors together with the director Chris Weitz is the highlight of the Youth-Evening of the Munich Six-Day-Run of this year. Pattinson was highly impressed by the reception: "I try to memorize this," says the 23 year-old heartthrob. But you could barley understand more of what was said onstage because of the screams.

The appearance of Pattinon, Lautner and Stewart in the Olympiahalle took only about fifteen minutes. The following press conference with the cast and director Weitz got hold under strict rules. Taking pictures got along with a dismissal. Asking private questions were taboo as well. Especially the question, if Pattinson and Stewart were dating was an important one for the tabloid press.

"You walk along the street and you see people screaming and you keep asking yourself 'why?'," says Pattinson. Especially during the shooting in Italy he felt making theatre, says director Weitz.
