A few weeks ago we reported on a store clerk’s chance meeting with Kellan Lutz in Iowa. Now Kellan mentions what went down that weekend at his grandparent’s farm. (Kellan is pictured left with his mom and brothers)

“What does your family think?

My–my family (Laughs.) I mean, I fell into acting. I’ve always kind of been “crazy Kellan” and just full of energy and doing my own thing that once I got into acting, it kind of just escalated all that attention for them in a way. Because I like to make my own attention. I just went back to Iowa, where my grandparents live, and I try to see them as much as I can. And they love it. They watch all my movies. We’re in a small town, so it’s like everyone knows them by their first name, there’s one street light and they tell (their friends) that I’m going to come there. They’re like, “Oh, he’s just going to have his friends over,’ because last time I was there the whole town came by and I was just signing autographs. Which I fine, but you think you can get away from that by going to see your grandparents in the middle of nowhere. This time I was like, “Ok, let’s just do a big barbeque. We can have everyone come over and take pictures,” because I only had a day and a half there. I wanted to go and hang out on the farm, I wanted to see my cousins and stuff and I just didn’t have time to spend a whole day doing that again. And we decided to do a dinner and had a bunch of people come over and I stopped by the local gas station and, everyone knows each other, so their [friends] ask, “What are you doing?”

“Oh, this is my grandson, he’s from LA–from Hollywood. He’s an actor. He’s in People Magazine!” They just had this whole (thing) down and I’m just like, “Great! Throw me under the bus like that!” (Laughs.) But they’re sweethearts, and it puts such a smile on their face and if I can do that and it tacks on a couple more years to their life, (then) by all means, I want to.”

MESKADA, co-starring Kellan Lutz,  opens in theaters and premieres on Video On Demand TODAY December 3, 2010.

To celebrate the release, we are giving away full sized signed Meskada posters signed by Kellan to two lucky fans. Just reply in the comments with what you love about Kellan, and we’ll pick two random people Saturday night at 11:59pm est.

MESKADA follows a small-town detective named Noah Cordin as he struggles to solve the brutal murder of a boy in the peaceful, affluent town of Hilliard. The killers left behind no clues at the crime scene, with the exception of a scrap of paper leading Cordin back to his hometown of Caswell. Here, Cordin and county detective Leslie Spencer consult with Cordin’s old friends, all of whom are suffering from the economic troubles that have plunged Caswell into near-destitution. As their search fails to turn up a suspect, feverish tensions rise between the towns of Hilliard and Caswell, until the film reaches its shocking climax.

Meskada captures a snapshot of quintessential American small-town life. The story calls to mind our nation’s history, the brutal clashes over land and territory, the class-divides and the improbable victories for equal opportunity. Meskada portrays a vivid picture of the rift between characters in two towns, people bound by loyalty, family, community, and a battle born of circumstances beyond their control.

In reality, Kellan could probably snap half the cast like twigs. What would actually be fun would be something like a push-up contest vamps vs. wolves winner takes all. 🙂

This is one of the cuter fan encounters we’ve seen in awhile. No one can simultaneously be prouder of you and be potentially more embarrassing than your grandma.  Via the Ogden Reporter:

“When Joellen Nissen… left for work last Thursday morning, little did she know she would be meeting a movie star while checking at the Ogden Casey’s General Store.
“I often chit chat with the customers here at the counter,” said Nissen, and when I asked this older couple what brought them to Ogden, I was told they had picked up their grandson at the airport. He was visiting for a few days at their home in Pocahontas.” The grandmother couldn’t hold back and burst with, “He’s a movie star!” She pointed down the aisle. Kellan Lutz, co-star of the popular Twilight Saga movie series “Eclipse” walked to the counter and was introduced.

Nissen described him as very polite, nice and sort of quiet.” She omitted the word “sexy” which many would used to describe the 25-year-old actor who was recently featured in People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive Issue.” Proud grandma went to her car and returned with a copy of the magazine, exercising her “grandparental” right to brag.”
