Here are some highlights from Kellan Lutz’s interview:

On growing up: “I have a lot of older brothers who messed up in different ways in my mother’s eyes. So I learned from all of their mistakes… I always tried to make it a goal to relieve some of the stress my mother went through. I applied myself to school very diligently. I wanted to go out of state so I wouldn’t have to depend on my mother. And L.A., where my father lived, seemed to call to me.”

On being labeled a sex symbol: “It’s funny when people say you have sex appeal or call you the next Brad Pitt… Why? Because I played a vampire in a movie? It’s all very unearned,” he says. “If I had the best freaking abs in the world or if I looked like Brad Pitt does in Fight Club, then cool, but I’m not starving myself. I eat what I want… I don’t get it, but I appreciate it.”
