SANTA MONICA, California — How did we get this far along in our "Twilight" coverage and somehow not yet feature Edi Gathegi?
After missing the increasingly in-demand actor while on set, we've been trying to line him up for his very own "Twilight" Tuesday for a while. Finally, the same weekend he appeared at the taping for our "MTV Spoilers" special, he came into our studio for his first official interview with us.
The bad news is, it's a Monday (sorry, Edi, we had to save tomorrow for something huge!). The good news is, we're in the middle of 10 Days of "Twilight," so every day is a Tuesday around here at this point.
And boy, are we glad we finally arranged a visit with the 29-year-old actor who plays the bad-but-good Laurent in the vampire flick (out this Friday! OME!) and will play an important part in the upcoming sequels. In person, he is an affable, smart guy who does one hell of a Michael Jackson imitation. Read on for Edi's thoughts concerning the joys of teasing Cam Gigandet, the movie set he snuck onto as a teen, and why he wants Kate Beckinsale to bite him.
