BlackBook: Kellan Talks Stunt Work
Blackbook.com has a breif interview with Kellan where he talks about doing his own stunts, especially for Eclipse.
When Kellan Lutz found himself locked in a death grip with a diaper-clad baby chimpanzee on a photo shoot, he knew he had stumbled into the right business. “He was pretty strong, but I still came out victorious,” says the 24-year-old actor, best known for playing Emmett Cullen, the bulky big brother to Robert Pattinson’s Edward, in the much-obsessed-over Twilight films.
In order to get into fighting shape for the combat-heavy Eclipse, the third film in the series, Lutz spent much of the summer getting his body into full beat-down mode. The aspiring action hero even tussled with the movie’s producers over performing his own stunts. “I want to be the guy who actually gets shot and gets his leg broken but keeps on fighting,” Lutz insists. “I want that to be my face on the screen.” (Lutz admits that his character in next year’s A Nightmare On Elm Street remake won’t keep fighting—it’s hard to make it past Freddy Krueger alive.)

He gave up a scholarship in chemical engineering to pursue a modeling career?! I think I love him even more–not because he chose school over modeling, but because he’s a fellow science geek. :]
