Landing the role of Emmett Cullen in The Twilight Saga movies has been a whirlwind experience for Kellan Lutz. The model-turned-actor has found himself in media frenzy for any Twilight morsel the public can get, from waiting paparzzi to fans who’ve booked rooms at the hotels the young actors stay in. Lutz recently spoke to BlackBook Magazine about how he doesn’t envy costar Robert Pattinson’s level of fame:

But what happens when the fans get to a Robert Pattinson-level where it’s just insane?
Well, it’s crazy because with all this attention, all of us are handling it extremely well. We still have our head on our shoulders and our feet on the ground. Rob’s handling it so well. I can’t fathom being in his shoes. I believe I could handle it, but being cooped up in Vancouver and not being able to leave the hotel room or the apartment without having a driver and having to hide out—especially when he was shooting Remember Me, I talked to him a lot in New York and those fans were just crazy. I can’t imagine trying to act when you have all these people yelling your name and you’re doing an emotional scene.

Even with all that intense scrutiny, Kellan says he loves attending conventions and feels it’s a great way to express his gratitude for the support from fans.

New Moon stunt scenes, being a part of the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street, going to the beach is not his thing – lots of good stuff! Read more of Kellan’s great interview here.
