Twilight Saga: New Moon stars Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson may have some competition for screen hunk as the New Moon movie (opens at midnight on Thursday in many theaters) welcomes newcomer Chaske Spencer and Charlie Bewley. Life & Style has an interview with the werewolf named Sam Uley in New Moon, and he plays down the hunk role, going with the older brother or even father figure. Still, many ask, have you seen him with his shirt off?

The report notes that like his New Moon character, Sam Uley, Chaske (pronounced Chess-kay) Spencer proved to be leader of the pack on set in Vancouver, British Columbia.

“I was the older brother or father figure,” he told Life & Style during an exclusive photo shoot with costar Charlie Bewley on Nov. 4 in LA. “I’m very protective of Taylor Lautner, Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon. We can get on each other’s nerves, but it’s just like a family.”

British export Charlie Bewley, who plays Volturi vampire Demetri, crossed the pond to make his big-screen debut in New Moon — and life will never be the same! “I haven’t really absorbed the whole thing,” he admitted during Life & Style’s exclusive New Moon shoot. “But I’m working out a rapid autograph style now. It’s coming along nicely.”


Questions and Answers below courtesy Life & Style:

L&S: You and Taylor both gained 30 pounds of muscle. Did you hold weight-lifting contests?

Chaske Spencer: We were all really competitive and supportive of one another. One time, I had the highest score on this rowing machine, and the next day I came in and Rob [Pattinson] had beaten me — he worked out at night, and the wolves came in during the day. I beat him again, but on the last day of shooting, I came in and he’d beaten me by a second.

L&S: Do people ever ask you to take off your shirt?

Chaske Spencer: All the time! Just seeing myself shirtless on the posters makes me very self-conscious. When the Twilight saga’s over, I’m not going to the gym for a while.



L&S: This is your first movie. What was it like working with veteran Dakota Fanning?

Charlie Bewley: She’s wonderful. The most impressive thing is the way she works the camera with her eyes. Dakota has a wonderful stillness for a 15-yearold actress. It’s something most people don’t master in a lifetime.


L&S: Do girls swoon over your accent, or are they unable to understand you?

Charlie Bewley: It’s a bit of both. I’ve never been asked out by an American woman, though. The one physical commonality my girlfriends have had is that they have disproportionately large heads. It’s kind of weird.
