wilight star Kellan Lutz says he turned down his chance to land Robert Pattinson's role in the series of movies that has helped make him a household name. But why?
There are tons of young, struggling actors in Hollywood that would have loved to get the chance to audition for the role of Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies. However, Kellan said he turned down the opportunity multiple times because he thought the part was "too depressing," telling his agent that he wanted "to do something where I smile."
However, his agent knew that Twilight was going to be big and pushed him to read for the more comedic role of Emmett, and Kellan Lutz was lucky that he fell in love with that character. So you hear that, Robert Pattinson? The only reason you ended up playing Edward Cullen was because Kellan Lutz didn't want to.
It's funny that Kellan found the world's most desirable man (vampire?) depressing, but hopefully he doesn't let a lack of smiles ruin his movie career -- he's best-suited for action-packed movie roles, and they don't usually call for a lot of hamming it up on camera.
