iVillage: Peter Facinelli Talks Holidays, Family and ‘Eclipse’

What can fans expect from the next film, Eclipse?
Every one of these has had a different director [David Slade directs The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, opening in June] so the feel’s been a little bit different. Each one of the books progressively has more action. New Moon has some really cool action with the werewolves and the Volturi and it builds from there into the third one where the Cullens get to do some really great action stuff. And that’s fun for me, because as a Cullen we’re very reserved and always trying to fit in and look humanlike. But in Eclipse, you get to see what we’re capable of as vampires.How about any holiday traditions?
We have a little village set that we put underneath the Christmas tree, and this year the kids got to build it themselves because I was out of town. Usually I help, but this year they kind of surprised me and did the whole village under the tree. It was kind of fun to come home and see that they had done it by themselves.What vampire superpower do you wish you had in real life?
I’d love to be able to fly — that would be cool. But I don’t know if that’s a vampire power. I mean, Carlisle’s power is compassion, and I think I got the short end of the stick. I was like, “Can’t I be compassionate and fly?” You can’t really [be] like, “Stand back! I’m going to smite you with my compassion!”Are your three daughters Twilight fans?
They all are. I’ve got a 12-year-old [Luca Bella], a 7-year-old [Lola Ray] and a 3-year-old [Fiona Eve], and they’ve all seen Twilight. The 12-year-old and the 7-year-old have seen New Moon, and it’s exciting to be a part of a movie that my family can actually be a part of and see.

OMG I want Peters shirt!!!!!! I’m sooo jealous that he has an Obama shirt!!!!

Obama fan? My respect for him just plummeted. Yecch. How that creature manged to become our president, I have no idea.
That was probably out of line, but at this point I don’t care.

OMG I love Peter’s shirt! I want it too
Anna, you shouldn’t be surprised because Most of Hollywood supports Obama. Just look at his endorsments list.
December 24th, 2009 at 2:18 AM
So, Ariana, we’re all suppose to love Obama because a bunch of Hollywood actors do? How is his endorsement list supposed to help the country?
December 24th, 2009 at 9:56 AM
Hell yeah!!!! I love Peter much more!! Obama!!!! btw..his daughters are sooo adorable. he has a nice family, good for him!!

I never said that you are supposed to love Obama because Hollywood does. I am just stating the facts. But I think that you shouldn’t lose respect for someone that’s in favor of a president you don’t like. It’s stupid. I know plenty of friends who supported McCain, and I never lost respect for them because they are entitled to their own preferences.

I wish I could burn peter’s shirt!! Obama SUCKS!!
December 24th, 2009 at 7:26 PM
I agree Anna. My respect for him plummeted as well.

Boo! lol
Obama DOES suck your right Alissa. haaa
December 24th, 2009 at 9:58 PM
I agree with Ariana. It doesn’t make sense that your respect for a person has decreased because they like a president you don’t like. That’s ridiculous.
December 24th, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Well thats how people are. Don’t tell them what to feel. If I said my respect for him lowered, then it lowered. Deal with it. Simple as that. I’m not saying you have to HATE Obama, lol let’s not even talk about Obama anymore. This is a Twilight Fan site, and I love me some Twilight!!
December 25th, 2009 at 1:28 AM
Heather, it isn’t ridiculous. It goes to show which people you admire. It’s like if one of your friends said they really admired Hitler or Mao. I would say that your respect for them would lower. It’s kind of like the saying “Your intelligence is measured by your friends”.

sad ):, anything Twilight is my escape from the world and I just got pulled back into the real world with that awful mug on Peter’s shirt!!
December 26th, 2009 at 3:44 PM
agreed. Peter’s cool points just dropped like a stone. Don’t drink the kool-aid! All politicians are the same, liars!
