Vanity Fair's Twilight Watch—Attack of the Wolves, Part One: Meet Alex Meraz

Haha, I found this a little funny while reading this. Here some of the questions and answers I liked best. ; )


What was your favorite scene to shoot?







The cliff diving scene was the most fun because the whole Wolf Pack was there and we were jumping off these 50-foot scaffolding things onto an air mattress. It was pretty exciting to be able to do our own stunts.






You didn't have stunt doubles at all?






No! They were pushing for it, we were pushing against; we wanted to do our own stuff. We had to train for a good two days, eight hours each day just practicing jumping, making sure we were landing safely. On the day [of shooting], we were actually jumping from a green screen cliff but it was actually taller and a little bit more dangerous because there was foliage and grass on top of it—it was a little slippery. We were fine, and it was really fun.






What was it like having to come together and bond as the Wolf Pack?






We were entirely new, and it was a lot easier. We relied on each other to get through everything. There was so much to learn, but it was organic. We spent a lot of time together at the gym, and that's what helped. As far as the original cast from Twilight, they were really cool. We didn't spend much time with them because all of our scenes were really just with the Wolf Pack. It was easy.






Taylor [Lautner] did have some experience from the first film …






His bigger role was coming in New Moon, so he was new to it, too. We kind of all learned together. Taylor's an amazing person. He really knows how to even everything out for himself—the work, the play, the socializing. He's a really smart guy. I look at him as being a little man.
  
Are you up for some wordplay? Please give me one word that describes some of the New Moon actors starting with the Wolf Pack. OK, Bronson Pelletier [who plays “Jared”] …







Aw, man. [Laughs] Jokester!






Kiowa Gordon [aka “Embry Call”].






Bewilderment. [Laughs] He's always thrust in these crazy situations that … he's pretty young. At 19, I didn't have these crazy things. I mean, I'm 24—I consider myself a man. I have a wife, a son, and I've had some practical life experience. This kid just got thrown into it, so it's new to him. To me he always has this bewilderment about him.






Tyson Houseman [“Quil Ateara”].






He'll know what this means. Vespa. Scooter.






Taylor Lautner [“Jacob Black”]






Taylor! Loyal.






Gil Birmingham [“Billy Black”].






One word is really hard. I would say … intuitive.






Chaske Spencer [“Sam Uley”].






Aw man, love him. Wisdom.






Kristen Stewart [“Bella Swan”].






Aw, she's awesome. I would say badass.






Rob Pattinson [“Edward Cullen’].






Patient.
