Twi/Tour Convention Day Two
July 12th, 2009 || Fandom, Pictures || 4 Comments » ||
Another fantastic day at the con!
Although there was a lot of sitting around today, I had fun hanging out with Alison from Awesome Twilight Musings and GiGi from Twilighters Anonymous! We also went out to Starbucks with Laura, Lori, and Shelley from the Lexicon – they’re so lovely! Laura and I swapped stories about how much we hate the paparazzi and gossip sites, and how they make our jobs so much harder…
Anyway, the day’s highlights were quite obviously Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene! Kellan is the master of the double entendre – he had the girls in fangirl spasms! – and Ashley is so unbelievably gorgeous. A recap of Kellan’s session:
» Kellan would love to play Captain America in a film!
» He originally went to university for chemical engineering before getting into acting!
» “Who Emmett is is what made me be drawn to Twilight.”
» Emmett is his favorite character of all that he’s done… He wants to be someone who “is charismatic, smiles, and eats bears.”
» Emmett is “me in real life.”
» He loves to “mess with” the paparazzi just for fun!
» He has “arm wrestling parties” with his roommates!
» What does he want for Emmett in the next few films? “More dialogue” and “bigger wheels on the jeep”!
» The last book he bought? “The dictionary… I’m reading that slowly.”
» He loves to play games and is “obsessed with dice”!
» When asked about the bag of eggs Emmett carries around, he replied, “You don’t carry sixteen boiled eggs with you?”
» Did it hurt when he and Rob crashed into each other during the baseball scene? “It hurt Rob!” followed by “he’s fragile!”
» He confirmed that this picture of him isn’t real! “I wish it was me, cuz that guy’s ripped!”
» What did he call Rob on set to make Rob flip him off? “I called him another name for a cat.”
» He loves hanging out with Rob and pulling pranks on him!
» He completely faked out the entire crowd: “I’m not doing Eclipse.” We all gasped!
» When they read out my question (!!!) and said it was from Pattinson Online, he quipped, “Is she online right now?”
» He made so many innuendos that I can’t repeat (because I know my mom is reading this!), and the fans just ate it up!
» He actually did some very impressive push-ups on the stage – I’m now deaf from all the screaming!
Ashley seemed like Kellan’s polar opposite – instead of wandering around the stage, winking at fangirls and doing impressive physical feats, Ashley was calm and poised and so incredibly lovely.
» Ashley would love to play Audrey Hepburn in a film and is “obsessed with Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
» Does she feel any added pressure to be a role model for girls? “I’ve embraced it!”
» She is very excited about the upcoming fight scene in Eclipse and has talked extensively to the director about it. “It’s going to be really really cool!”
» Did she get to drive Alice’s yellow Porsche? “Yes, I did!”
» What superpowers would she wish for? “I think I’d want to fly… and make my car fly!” Also, “being invisible would be rad!”
» She called Rob a “phenomenal actor” and said he even gave her acting tips!
» She said that director Chris Weitz gave the cast a 20-page packet about his vision for New Moon, which really helped her prepare for the role!
» What was it like kissing Kellan in Warrior? “Kind of weird kissing your friend!”
I have TONS of pictures from the day, so check them out here!
I’m headed off to meet Alison for dinner, and then we’re going to the Vampire Ball to get pictures of everyone’s awesome costumes!
