Did I mention that his accent is so charming it borders on dangerous? Um, anyway, on with the interview: (Dani's note-how do people form audible questions for him when that accent would have me on the floor in seconds-hummina, hummina)
From your perspective, what is the appeal of vampires right now, anyway?
I’m not entirely sure, because I was never really a vampire fan. I mean, I don't have anything against vampires [laughs]. I think in Twilight, it's something to do with having this sort of protector character who can't reveal to anyone else and has this whole commitment to Bella, which is why a lot of girls like it. But I think also it is that kind of attraction of having this incredibly powerful being. It’s the perfect template, vampires, for having any kind of mysterious creature. Every single stereotype — that they can only come out at night, they have a dark secret you can only find out if you die — it's all to do with being seduced. It's not really to do with brute force. Plus, there aren’t that many supernatural things that are attractive. You can’t really have, like, a sexy zombie.
Any thoughts on Team Edward vs. Team Jacob yet?
[Laughs] Not really. I haven’t really . . . I don’t know. My agent started wearing a Team Edward badge.
This is a huge role that you're launching into. Do you have any fear about only being seen as Edward forever more?
I haven’t so far. I've been so involved in the whole Twilight thing I haven’t really had the chance to separate that. I guess I'll have a very different perspective when the movie comes out — we'll see how it does. I mean it's definitely changed my career a lot. People take me more seriously, I guess, in the industry. I'm not particularly worried. Maybe I will be when I haven't got a job for five years!
