New Moon was a very relaxed film to work on and it all starts with how easy going director Chris Wietz is. That vibe rolls down to the crew and actors. It makes it so easy when we've all worked together before. Everything was so well organized, making it easy for the actors to do our job. We had más time to just laugh and make jokes and hang out; it's important to have a cast that gels the way we do and you'll see that más in the segundo film.
The entire cast of Twilight and New Moon has gone from Hollywood new faces to overnight international sensations – has that been a bonding experience for all of you?
It's amazing what Twilight has done for the cast! It has opened up so many doors for us all. It is such a blessing to be a part of the phenomenon that is Twilight. It's a dream come true! We are all very close and stay close on set as well as off. We play board games, go out to cena and just hang out. It's amazing to be able to work with such a talented group of actors.
How did tu prepare to play Emmett in New Moon?
I prepared a lot por delving into the back-story for my character, Emmett, that I created while shooting the first movie so I just picked up that same notebook again for New Moon and added a little más to what I thought embodied this character. I find it easy to get in the role; Emmett is the perfect match for me. I do amor creating a back-story for characters; it helps tu transform into the role and it makes it yours.
Where do tu see yourself in five o ten years?
I'd like to continue actuación for as long as possible. I truly amor it and I am lucky that not only is it my career but it's something I really enjoy doing so it doesn't feel like work. Hopefully in ten years, I'll have an amazing family with a beautiful wife and little Kellan's running around to play football with.
With your physique having garnered so much attention, can tu give our readers some tips on keeping fit?
There's a lot of consejos that I could give but what works for one person might not work for another. I just exercise regularly and try to eat healthy. There's no method to my madness. High protein meals are important and I amor eggs and chicken so I try to eat that almost every día that I can. I amor fruits so I always have frutas in my cocina to snack on. I would suggest finding some sort of cardio that tu enjoy. I hate running so for me it's swimming. Stay as active as possible and don't just sit in front of the television; do push ups o sit ups during the commercials. Even a little hard work goes a long way.
