Kellan Lutz Is Glad He’s Not ‘Edward’ But Wants To Kiss Kristen Stewart

Kellan Lutz was in Africa, shooting for the HBO’s “Generation Kill”, when he was first sent the Twilight script. The original intent was for Kellan to audition for the role of Edward! After he finally read the script, he decided that it wasn’t right for him.

I said, ‘I don’t want to play Edward. He’s too complex, too depressing for me.’”

He was then asked if he’d be interested in trying for the role of Edward’s older brother, Emmett Cullen. Kellan immediately liked the idea. He described the character:

“one of those fun-loving characters that I like to play”

When asked if he regrets not trying for the part of Edward:

“I’m so happy with Emmett,” he says. “I don’t care to be famous.”

I think Kellan makes a perfect Emmett and I’m looking forward to his longer screen time in the upcoming movies.

Kellan also shared that he was never actually dating AnnaLynne McCord.

“Oh. No. Never have been,” he said. “I’ve known her for six years, and we met again on the set [of 90210], but we shot Abercrombie [catalogs] way back in the day.” “she’s single, and I’m very much single.”

Kellan also shares that he could never date his co-star, Kristen Stewart:

“I think she’s too independent for my blood,” Lutz said of Stewart, 19. “She’s so spicy.”

But that doesn’t rule out that he’d like to maybe have something going with her onscreen:

Still, he said that he “would love to kiss her” on screen

That’s so funny that he describes her as “spicy”. That could be taken many different ways.

Don’t forget – tonight is the Hollywood premiere for the Twilight Saga: New Moon. Watch it live right here. (at the link location..not HERE as in imnotobsessed.com LOL!)
