Kellan Lutz YRB Magazine on Playing Emmett and More

Kellan Lutz talked with YRB Magazine about how he started out modeling and then fell into acting. He then goes into his key roles and plans for the future. One thing that Kellan has said so many times is just how much he loves the character of Emmett because it’s as close as he ever gets to playing himself.

“Even though there’s no hesitation when he declares that Emmett Cullen is the closest character he’s played to the real life Kellan Lutz, the actor admits that his most noted role to date almost didn’t happen. Back when he was filming HBO’s Generation Kill in Africa, Lutz had the Twilight script thrown his way for consideration of the lead, Edward Cullen. Not feeling he was in the right mindset at the time to play another depressing role so soon, and being unfamiliar with the book series that preceded the films, there was no problem turning down the auditions. But a persistent agent and a quick look into Emmett’s personality and Lutz felt the connection.

“It’s one of those things where I look at Emmett and I see me. I just see this jovial person, and he can be the protector, and I was with my family growing up. I have a lot of brothers, so you gotta stand up for your family. But, then again, I don’t let a lot of stuff faze me; I don’t like being stressed out in life I don’t think I would have played a great Edward. I think what Rob [Pattinson] does with it is mind-blowing. They need someone like Rob to really give Edward so many layers without doing much. And I love my character to death. I would never want to give up Emmett – it doesn’t matter how many lines, it doesn’t matter if I’m number one on the call sheet – I love him to death, and I’d play him for 10 more movies.”

Lexicon reader Allison recently got a chance to meet Kellan at a surprise screening. Here’s what she wrote in to tell us:

“I just wanted to share an experience I had with people I know would be just as excited as me!  Today I went to a screening of the movie Love, Marriage, Wedding starring Kellan Lutz.  I was beyond excited I was able to go to this because I love Kellan and couldn’t wait to see him in a leading role!  After waiting in line for a while and finally getting seating Kellan and the director came out and surprised everyone! Kellan mentioned he hadn’t seen the movie yet either and hoped we all enjoyed it.  After the movie Kellan very graciously signed autographs, gave hugs, and took pictures with those lucky and sneaky enough to sneak their camera phones in.  He was just as nice as he seems in all his interviews and I am beyond happy I was able to get to see/meet him!”

Kellan Lutz Joins MTV’s Love is Louder Campaign

According to MTV:

“Kellan Lutz and Stephen Baldwin are the latest celebrities to lend their voices to MTV and Brittany Snow’s Love Is Louder campaign. The actors posted videos on Your.MTV.com letting young people know that no matter what, there is always someone or something to rely on in the face of adversity…In light of recent teen suicides linked to anti-gay bullying — specifically the death of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi — MTV partnered with Snow and the Jed Foundation (with support from DoSomething.org, the Trevor Project, Reach Out, Active Minds and the Ad Council) to create Love Is Louder and help spread messages of love and hope to teens who feel they might have run out of options.”

Here is the video that Kellan posted.
