Kellan Lutz, the vampire star of the hugely popular ‘Twilight’ saga is pretty thrilled coz he has earned himself the lead role in the remake of the action flick ‘Conan The Barbarian’. The protagonist’s role that was earlier played by the big man Arnold Schwarzenegger, is, now, almost certain to go into his kitty.
And he’s over the moon, as the role would not only be a challenging one but also help him showcase his versatility and shed off the ‘vampire’ tag.
“It’s something that I’ve been actively going after because I’d die to put the weight back on… I want to be the big guy that I was,” he quips in ecstasy.
“I’ve been waiting for a while, doing screen tests. There are just so many cooks in the kitchen. If it happens, it happens… I’m just excited, because the script is great,” Kellan adds unable to conceal his glee.
However, besides being super-excited, he’s also a tad anxious as the final confirmation is yet to arrive. Plus, actor Jason Momoa has also been approached for the same role.
But, given a chance, he’d put his best foot forward and even his fans, especially the fairer sex, would love to ogle at a beefier and muscular Kellan Lutz.
