Twilight Lexicon Interview with Edi Gathegi

Leandra — Mon, 10 May 2010 18:29:55 +0000

The girls over at Twilight Lexicon got to interview Edi Gathegi at creation Entertainment Official Twilight convention in Arlington.

Check out their interview with him here.

Here is a little excerpt:

Laura: That’s great. What about your fellow cast mates, the actors in the movie? Like you said, how do you pick a favorite out of all these guys you worked with? [On stage Edi had been asked who his favorite actor in the Twilight film was and his response was, "Well whose your favorite child? You can't pick!"]Sometimes when you’re on set with somebody, you just kind of have the moment where you click as an actor and you can’t predict that. It’s just chemistry. Anybody with Twilight you feel like you had that moment where you clicked and you like to work with them again?

Edi: Well, off the bat, the first that comes to mind is Rachelle. But I think just generally when you’re working in the television and film industry – and this is a gross generalization – but generally you connect with a lot of people, because you guys speak the same language. It’s the common vocabulary of what it is to be an artist in this business. So you all have sort of a commonality where you’re gonna connect with a lot of people. But with Rachelle it was like, “Oh, we’ve got the same sense of humor! Oh, we have the same interests. Oh, you’re like the female version of me! Let’s freaking party! Let’s hang out!” So we became friends.

But then again, everyone in the cast got along very well. I still hang out with Taylor. I see Kellan every now and again with my friends. I see Nikki a lot. Peter and I always make plans and then fall apart. Like last night, he’s here and I’m like, “Uh, I’m too tired Peter, and we reschedule for LA?” “I never see you in LA!” “That’s cause you’ve got kids… and a wife. Let’s set a night. Go hang out.” He has poker nights every now and then, and I do that.

But a lot of the casts are friends. But Rachelle was the first person that came to mind because, naturally I was doing most of my scenes with her.

J-14: What’s an oddest thing that a Twilight fan has done for you so far?
Christian Serratos: My name was sent in to space.
J-14: Wow, really, how so?
Christian: I don’t know. One day I was just chilling at home and I got this big envelope and there were NASA certificates inside of it.
Justin Chon: Oh, I got that too.
Christian: Yeah!
J-14: Oh so you’re both literally out of this world.
Justin: Yeah, we’re groovy.

J-14 also has a short chat with Edi Gathegi and Alex Meraz talking Twitter which you can read below:

J-14: Edi, you’re so active on Twitter. How do you use it to rally New Moon fans?
Edi Gathegi: Am I SO active on Twitter?
J-14: Pretty much! We know what you’re doing right now — 7 1/2 hours of interviews!
Edi: That means you’re a Twitter junkie!
J-14: Okay, you’re onto me.
Edi: I think I only have 100 Tweets.
Alex Meraz: But Peter [Facinelli] has a lot — I call him “Tweeter.”

Edi and Alex Interview

Leandra — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:24:50 +0000

J-14 continues their New Moon Countdown with an interview with Alex Meraz and Edi Gathegi.

J-14: Edi, how do people react when they see you without Laurent’s dreads?

Alex Meraz: And accent.

Edi Gathegi: Well, if they recognize me, right? If they recognize me, then they’ll be like, you’re an amazing actor because you’re able to transform and make yourself completely different. Because we’re doing a lot of interviews and putting ourselves out there, now people are starting to make the connection that I’m the actor in the movie. I’m getting almost as much recognition for the dreadless Edi as the Edi that’s ready to rock.

Alex: Which I’ve got to say — I’ve watched the trailer a lot now because of doing these publicity events and when I see Edi doing Laurent I’m always blown away by his acting chops. Man he’s like a completely different person from the Edi I know. Edi’s a beast!

Edi: It’s an act, dude! You heard it here first, J-14!

J-14: Edi, so what do you have to say about Alex?

Alex: He don’t have nothing to say about me because he apparently fast forwarded the scenes that he wasn’t in the movie when he watched the film.

Edi: Get out of here!

Alex: No, he fast-forwarded through everything but his own scenes, so he hasn’t seen the whole movie!

Edi: Alex under my tutelage is going to be a great actor.
