Kellan Lutz Interviewed in the Advocate

Kellan Lutz has a great new interview in the Advocate where he talks about his new projects, as well as his gay fans.

It’s sort of impossible not to take note when Kellan poses in Calvin Klein undies, and looks like thison the cover of Men’s Fitness, but it’s good to see him sticking up for his gay fans publicly-

You star as Poseidon in Immortals. Has playing a god gone to your head?Nah. I’ve been playing a pale vampire for years, so I’m just glad to finally have a tan in a movie. I love that our director, Tarsem, saw the gods as youthful. If you were a god, wouldn’t you rather be in your 20s or 30s as opposed to old and gray with a beard down to your ankles?

Your gay fans will appreciate the sexier vision.Oh, they’re the best. I love them. When I meet gay fans out and about, they’re so great to talk to — and I’m big on hugging, because I’m from the Midwest. They’re just so energetic and loving. I’m proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me. I don’t want just girls coming to my movies; I want guys to come too.

 What about your shirtless photo shoots? It seems like you’d have more control over those.

Yeah, I have to be conscious of that too. I’ve done a lot of photo shoots lately for the press coming up with Immortals and Breaking Dawn, and every photographer wants to get the topless shot. We’ve really had to be choosy and not do that for every magazine. I’ve actually been trying to keep my clothes on more.

I didn’t realize this till recently when Jack Morrissey, Bill Condon’s partner, started hitting up Twitter on a regular basis–the director ofBreaking Dawn is a fellow that likes fellows. (duh, Dreamgirls andKinsey…) The Advocate asked Kellan if there will be “gay undertones” to the movie, and happily Kellan responded with something allviewers will applaud-

Oh, definitely. I mean, there’s a lot more skin, first of all. It’s for a more mature audience. Our audience has grown up with us, and we have to grow along with them. The original high school fans are in college now, and they want to see more skin. Bill has Taylor Lautner topless all the time, so there’s some great eye-candy. Bill did such an amazing job, and it was so much fun to work with him.
