Breaking Dawn came out on DVD February 11th. Many of you may have already had to run out and buy a copy for your teen girls (or yourself...). I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Chaske Spencer, Sam from the movie. We dished about the movie, his career, crazed Twilight fans and of course, his abs.
We've all witnessed the "Twilight craze". Fans really go crazy for these movies. Chaske says that is something that you NEVER get used to. He tries to take a break between movies and not deal with the showbiz side of things. He turns off the phone, disconnects for a while, takes a road trip and just gets away from the craze. Totally my kind of guy!

Twilight will end (the last part of Breaking Dawn is coming out later this year), but Chaske's career is just taking off. This series has become a springboard for his career. He is working on some new projects now. He really enjoyed working on the Twilight series, but he is also excited to move on. He is excited for new roles and new challenges. We definitely haven't seen the last of him.

And those abs? If you haven't seen a Twilight movie, you may not know that the werewolf characters spend quite a bit of time shirtless. They need to be buff for these movies. Is he always in that good of shape? Not at all! He was constantly working out and adding more mass just for the movies. He ate a ton of carbs and power lifted quite a bit to get in shape. It was tough to keep that discipline, but his trainer helped him stay with it.

I really enjoyed meeting Chaske. He was such a fun and laid-back guy. Not at all like his character of Sam. It is truly amazing what these actors can do for a role.

Have your say
