How was your experience working on Twilight? Was there a lot of pressure to live up to the novels?
I loved every part of working on Twilight and honestly nothing about doing the movie felt like work. I mean, we shot in one of the coolest locations in the US, I worked with a lot of my friends, we had the best cast who loved to hang out on and off of set, we had the coolest most creative director and we had the best crew. There wasn't that much pressure. Yes the movie is based on the book but I loved the script and I know we will do the book justice and then some.

How did you land the part of Emmett?
Well I was actually shooting a mini series called Generation Kill in Africa when the script for Twilight was released and they began to cast the film. I really liked the script and really wanted to play Emmett and play a vampire, so I tried to put myself on tape to send to my agent in LA. Well, I had the hardest time putting myself on tape due to our shooting schedule, as well as not having all the needed resources, so time came and went and soon enough Twilight was cast. I finished shooting Generation Kill right before Christmas of 2007. I had been away from home for seven months shooting in Africa and really just wanted a vacation. That's what I told my team and they respected that. Then my agent called me and told me they re-opened the role of Emmett due to unknown reasons and said it must be fate and got me the appointment. I went to the audition and they liked what I did and wanted to fly me out to Portland to read for director Catherine Hardwicke. So off I went to Portland and once there, I met Catherine, read for her, and got the part.
Can you tell us a little bit about Emmett’s part in the story and how you approached the role?
Emmett is the loveable laughable big brother in the story. I love Emmett because he doesn’t care about most things and lives such a fun life but when trouble comes around he turns into the protective older brother and handles the threat. I feel like I am a lot like Emmett and used my experiences from growing up in the Midwest and having such a big family and I use that as I tap into Emmett.

Any funny/cool on-set stories?
It was always so much fun after a hard day of work having all of us cast members hang out in one of our hotel rooms and just play guitar, order room service, and just chill.
A really funny moment happened on set to one of the producers. We had a closed set and during the cafeteria scenes, this lady was standing by the camera and started up a conversation with one of the producers. Ten minutes into the conversation, the producer, not recognizing this person, stopped to ask who she was. The woman said she wasn’t a part of the movie, and was a Twilight Mom and a fan and just wanted to check out the set. It was just funny hearing the story from our producer because the lady just walked straight on in and acted like she was supposed to be there. Haha, good old security, huh? So we all joked about that and the producers made sure the closed set was more tightly secured from that day on.
How have you been dealing with all the fan attention? Any crazy fan stories?
Haha yeah… There have been so many funny stories! I live next to a high school and my roommates had a fun idea to go and check out the local high school football game and just hang and watch a game and eat stadium food. So a group of us went to the game and as soon as I bought my ticket, my buddy got the feeling that someone was following us. He was right. As soon as we got to the hot dog stand, this girl said “ Kellan I love you. Can I have a picture?” She was shaking so much which I thought it was very cute and of course we talked for a bit and took some pictures and we said goodbye. We finally got our food and found seats and all of a sudden groups of kids kept coming up to our seats asking for pictures and autographs and wanting me to sign everything from their jeans to their shoes. It was funny and very flattering; I was barely able to watch the game. I guess I should have thought twice about it being a high school football game … but still, it was a fun night.
The fan attention's fun and I'm very flattered. Everyone I have met has been so kind and sweet. We know what big fans of Twilight they are so we just want to please them as much as we can.

Why should college kids go see Twilight?
Twilight is an action packed romance movie. It definitely will appeal to college guys with all the action and stunts that we hurt ourselves doing, as well as to the college girls with the great Romeo and Juliet type romance between Edward and Bella. It’s a great movie for any and all ages and gender, plus the cast is extremely talented and fun to watch on screen. The chemistry between everyone is amazing.
What are some of your favorite movies?
I am obsessed with Fight Club and can’t wait to do a movie like that one day.
What’s your favorite thing to do or place to go on a Saturday Night?
Well my roommates and I have Saturday nights as our game nights, so we usually try and go bowling or to the arcade or play Putt Putt or we just hang at home and play Taboo or Pictionary Man or Phase 10 or Life or Risk… the list goes on and on… Saturday nights are our FUN NIGHTS!

the only way he'd actually consider u is if u stop idolizing HIM as yr great white knight savior-hero and make yoself a HEROINE who don't need no savin'. then he'll respect U, then he'll phantasize bout U & be thinking bout how hot R U. if he'z super yang, u've got 2 B super yin, no way round that. it's the balance of the uneeverse that's talkin here. that trick takes focus. discipline. unplugging from this 'other-regarding' chatter. stilling the mind and training the body to listen to your inner self. let your u-neek self flower into full self. if u little sister tweens & teensters do that, in ten year's time the kellan lutz's of this world will come begging for UR fon no. & then, U may not wish to give it to them, too bizzy and havin 2 much fun chasin ur own dreams and slaying yr own dragons; then it B ladeez choice who she marries, or don't.

But there all great so....its no point saying ones grose and ones amazing.
1. Taylor Lautner
2. Kellan Lutz
no comment on robert i think he is ugly
Well, i...i'm just a huge fan i guess. I absolutely KNEW i would never love an actor so much that i'd blush and scream every time i heard their name, i never UNDERSTOOD how anyone could get that effect from someone, your just normal people. But here i am, this big stupid crush on this guy who is EXACTLY 10 years older than me. my B-day is march 14 1995. Ah, how low I've sunk, all the way to fandom.
The moment i see you act yourself, i get this huge grin on my face. some people fall in love with actors because they play such great parts in movies, they fall in love with the character. i think i just love you fun personality and just YOU. ugh! i am so bad at explanations. I'm sad to say that as much as i love you, i seem to know nothing about you. I'm a horrible fan :(. but that's fine with me, you give me a reason to smile, a reason to laugh. you fill an empty space in my lonely days. and that's enough for me.
I just wish i could see you one, in flesh and blood. but i know that's amazingly far from happening, maybe someday you'll plan a trip to lethbridge, Alberta, even Edmonton? *batts eyelashes, puppy dog face* Then i could see just exactly how obsessed i really am. The even sadder part? i think i might cry. haha!
*sigh* i guess that's all. i sincerely wish you would read this or i knew how to get a hold of you, but both seem very far from happening.

And seriously, how can someone not adore such a nice person? Haha, I think I might end up liking him more than I do Robert by the time Twilight the movie comes out. His boy-next-door attitude is very endearing and his pretty features are awfully cute. What's not to like about him?
This interview and the pictures were lovely; thanks!
after this i will probably have the biggest crush on him =]]
i love emmet so much and i think Kellan is soo perfect for the role
plus he seems really down to earth and nice
i think emmets character can bring so much to the movie

But damn is he hot.
OME!!! He's soooooo cute!!! Definitely Emmett!
