Lutz will join Lautner, who is up for Favorite Breakout Movie Actor. “Twilight” snagged nods for Favorite Movie and On-Screen Team for Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

Kellan Lutz tells Daily News that although he plays a vampire in The Twilight Saga, he identifies more with the werewolves.

“I’m definitely more of a ‘Jacob,’ ” he says of the character, who has an unrequited love for protagonist Bella. “A girl once broke up with me 11 times, and I just kept right at it. I’d sent her candy, flowers, everything. I’m really persistent.”

The Twilight Saga: New Moon and A Nightmare On Elm Street star Kellan Lutz recently did an interview with Life Magazine for their July 4th issue. Thanks to OK Magazine, we now have a snippet of that interview.

Candid, honest, and assertive as always Lutz discusses the set of New Moon and his future without holding back.

What is your typical day like on the set of New Moon, the sequel to Twilight?

New Moon was a very relaxed film to work on and it all starts with how easy going director Chris Wietz is. That vibe rolls down to the crew and actors. It makes it so easy when we’ve all worked together before. Everything was so well organized, making it easy for the actors to do our job. We had more time to just laugh and make jokes and hang out; it’s important to have a cast that gels the way we do and you’ll see that more in the second film.

The entire cast of Twilight and New Moon has gone from Hollywood new faces to overnight international sensations – has that been a bonding experience for all of you?

It’s amazing what Twilight has done for the cast! It has opened up so many doors for us all. It is such a blessing to be a part of the phenomenon that is Twilight. It’s a dream come true! We are all very close and stay close on set as well as off. We play board games, go out to dinner and just hang out. It’s amazing to be able to work with such a talented group of actors.

…

Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?

I’d like to continue acting for as long as possible. I truly love it and I am lucky that not only is it my career but it’s something I really enjoy doing so it doesn’t feel like work. Hopefully in ten years, I’ll have an amazing family with a beautiful wife and little Kellan’s running around to play football with.
