Maybe you were one of the thousands of kids lined up overnight to get into one of the “New Moon” mall tour stops. Maybe you spent hours putting together the perfect gift for one of the stars. You should know that not only do the actors appreciate the prezzies, they think they should be the ones handing them out.
“The fans are always so loving and caring and supportive,” Kellan Lutz told MTV News at a tour stop in suburban Chicago. “It’s really interesting when they bring us gifts. We’re so thankful, we should be giving the fans gifts because they’re allowing us to continue on with the saga.”
The man who plays the vampire Emmett Cullen has apparently got a sweet tooth, because he’s happy to get sugary treats from his fans. “I got this amazing candy from this fan in Australia,” he said. “It was like a gummy bear spaceship that explodes and powder comes out. That’s one of my favorite things.”
Twilighters, take note, and adjust your gifts accordingly! Pay attention, as well, to what Ashley Greene — a.k.a vampire Alice Cullen — favors.
“I get lots of jewelry actually, because everyone knows that Alice is kind of this fashionista,” she said.
But it’s not the fan-bestowed bling that matters most to Ashley. “I’ve gotten a couple scrapbooks, and it’s the most incredible thing,” she explained. “We’re caught in this ‘Twilight’ bubble and we’re just going and going and filming and going to different cities, we don’t really get to see what’s going on. It’s all a blur. I almost get emotional when I see these scrapbooks of my career and my whole ‘Twilight’ experience.’ It’s a really cool thing.”
