Kellan Lutz interview with Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair chatted with Kellan Lutz about hanging out with the cast, what he is reading, dealing with the hype, and his next film Nightmare on Elm Street.

What’s the one thing that has changed in your life since Twilight came out?

I’ve never been so busy in my life. I’ve never gotten my frequent flyer miles so high that I feel like I can travel around the world for free. I’ve been on a plane every weekend trying to come back to L.A. to see my dog. I feel like I’ve been so blessed to be working, but everything I shoot is out of L.A., so I don’t really have too much time to spend with my number one love: my puppy. (She’s not really a puppy—she’s five—but she’s close to my heart.) We have so much press stuff that we get to do—I love doing the conventions and meeting the fans. November’s going to be pretty crazy, what with being on a plane every day, landing, appearances, flying to another city that night … It’s a roller coaster.

What scenes have been the most fun to shoot?

Well, the scenes that the Cullens are in are very crucial and epic. The scenes in New Moon are very close to the book. What we Cullens deal with—like the birthday scene—are very crucial for the audience; they’re going to be there with us. They’re all my favorites, but particularly Jackson, when he turns bloodthirsty in the birthday scene.

So, before you go, let’s do some wordplay. I’m going to give you the name of one of your fellow actors, and I need you to give me one word to describe them, starting with Jackson Rathbone [“Jasper Hale”].

Ah, mysterious.

Nikki Reed [“Rosalie Hale”].Spicy.
Elizabeth Reaser [“Esme Cullen”].Beautiful.
Peter Facinelli [“Dr. Carlisle Cullen”].Jokester.
Do you want to guess what word Peter chose for you?Meathead. Something to do with working out or playing jokes.
He chose “goofy.”Goofy. (Laughs)
Ok, Ashley Greene [“Alice Cullen”].Best friend.
Kristen Stewart [“Bella Swan”].Adventurous.
Taylor Lautner [“Jacob Black”].Brother-like.
Rob Pattinson [“Edward Cullen”].Immensely blessed and talented. If you can just hyphen those into one word.
