Kellan To Strip Down For Calvin Klein Underwear Ads

Posted in News by Chelsa • No Comments »

Over the past dozen months or so, Twilighters have made it abundantly clear that they can’t get enough of the saga’s stars. Now, it seems, they’re about to see a whole lot more of Kellan Lutz.

The 24-year-old actor, known to “Twilight” fans worldwide as the lovable Emmett Cullen, has signed a contract with fashion giant Calvin Klein to become the brand’s newest underwear model.

In addition to being the first corporate-spokesman assignment among the “Twilight” cast (although RPattz does love Coca-Cola!), Lutz’s new gig is especially noteworthy for the cultural significance of Calvin Klein undies. Hollywood stars including Ashton Kutcher, Djimon Hounsou and Antonio Sabato Jr. have all spent time modeling the company’s wares. Most notably, a rapper by the name of “Marky” Mark Wahlberg signed on to be CK’s underwear spokesman in the early ’90s and spent the next few years appearing worldwide pairing his abs with the company’s tighty-whities. Some have credited the ads as a step in Wahlberg’s transition into the A-list, Oscar-nominated star he is today.

According to Fox News, Lutz will be featured in a “very similar” ad campaign to the one that made Wahlberg a household name. “He’s going to be their new Mark Wahlberg,” an “insider” told the site. “Kellan has been signed to Calvin Klein for a huge campaign that will feature him in his skivvies all over billboards and in magazines.”

MTV News reached out for comment to Lutz’s representative but, as of press time, had not received confirmation.

The actor, whose career prior to “Twilight” consisted of appearances on shows like “Heroes,” “CSI” and “The Comeback,” as well as recurring roles on “90210″ and “Generation Kill,” has expressed an interest in becoming a Wahlberg-like action star in the years to come.

I cant’ afford to pay my rent!

Posted in News by Chelsa • No Comments »

KELLAN Lutz might be one of the stars of 2009’s biggest film, Twilight Saga: New Moon — but the hunky star can just about afford to pay his rent!

According to a report in New York Post gossip column Page Six, the 24-year-old actor was paid so little to do the first Twilight film, he was barely able to cover his bills.

But Lutz — who has previously insisted his break in the vampire movie franchise isn’t “just about the money” — is now able to supplement his income with a string of lucrative modeling gigs and movie offers.

Lutz recently revealed he had his first kiss at the tender age of seven.

“I was playing truth or dare when I had my first kiss,” he said. “I was probably seven. I learned to hold the girl and I won as best kisser.

“They picked me because I actually held the girls when I kissed them. I loved kissing them because they had flavored lip glosses on, which was great.”

Kellan Credits Robert & Kristen for ‘New Moon’ Success

Posted in News by Chelsa • No Comments »

“New Moon” star Kellan Lutz probably shouldn’t sell himself short. A day before the opening of the “Twilight” sequel, hundreds of fans lined up in the New York City rain for a chance to snap a photo of the 24-year old actor. Still, Lutz is under no misapprehension about what — or rather who — really draws in the crowds.

“The rest of us, we could suck, probably,” Kellan told Zap2It.com. “It’s Rob and Kristen who have the amazing chemistry. Without those two keystones, ‘Twilight’ could have flopped. It really could have.”

No wonder then, that the fate of “Breaking Dawn,” the final installment in the vampire series — which could be split into two movies — rests on negotiations with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewartand that jacked-up werewolf dude, Taylor Lautner.

“They haven’t told the rest of us actors yet,” Lutz told the site. “I have read that they are talking to Rob, Taylor and Kristen to negotiate to make ‘Dawn’ into two movies. I’d love for it to be two films.”

What of those wild rumors that “Twilight” will make its way from the big screen to your living room as a TV series? “I just heard that too,” he said. “I don’t know how. You already have the books, and the story’s been told so beautifully. And there’s already ‘True Blood’ and ‘Vampire Diaries,’ and they’re both great. I don’t know how it would work. Twenty-two episodes?”

So it’s a yes to two “Breaking Dawn” flicks and a “not gonna happen!” to a “Twilight” TV show. And where does Lutz go from there? He’s looking at romantic comedies and has a couple of action film roles in mind.

“I’m making this checklist as an actor,” he said. “Right now, I just really want to be part of the ‘Bourne’ franchise, and the more I say that, maybe Matt Damon will read it and maybe I can play his brother.”

He added, “I’d love to be Captain America someday.”
