SANTA MONICA, California — How much do Twilighters love Michael Welch? So much that when MTV News missed the 20-year-old actor during our set visit, fans began online petitions for us to give him the proper Twilight Tuesday treatment. Spider monkeys, consider your wish granted.
We had always hoped to catch up with "Mike/Mike" (as he has called himself ever since landing the role of Bella Swan admirer Mike Newton), so we were thrilled when he showed up at our studio all by himself, eager to hang out and even pose with the "Twilight Dad" sign that a Twilight Mom made for yours truly. Once we got down to business, we dished about superfans, his audition for the role of Edward Cullen and what it's like to be the Shia LaBeouf of this winter's "Twilight" movie.Read what Welch thinks about one particularly enthusiastic online admirer in the MTV Movies blog.
