Movie: Exclusive Interviews: Christian Serratos
BellaAndEdward.com: Had you heard of Twilight before the movie?
Christian Serratos: Yes. Originally, I had seen the book and wanted to read it because I thought the cover was really interesting. Later I kept hearing more and more about it. It was on my list. Then I got the call for Twilight, I was so excited. This was the same book on my list. I ran out and picked it up and read it pretty much straight through.
BAE: After reading all three books, which scene(s) are you looking forward to being able to see on the big screen?
Christian: The New Moon scene: the cliff diving and bike scene. Those to me seem the most adventuresome.
BAE: If you weren't playing Angela, which character would you like to portray in the movie?
Christian: Jane or Emily. Jane has the fun power. She seems to truly get away with murder. Emily seems like the character with the juiciest background. It would be great fun to play that out.
BAE: Were there any memorable/funny moments on the set that you would like to share?
Christian: As far as memorable: the day at the beach was one of those unforgettable days. It was fiercely cold and windy. We were in rain mostly and yet it was so pretty there. The ride there looked like a painting with the mossy trees that looked like they didn't end. It was a long drive curvy and all. It was well worth it.
BAE: Which scene in the movie do you think fans will be most amazed by?
Christian: The ballet studio. I'm going to say only because from the clip that I saw I was amazed.
BAE: Are you anything like Angela?
Christian: I have my quite/shy days. Interviews are probably the one thing that always make me feel little shy and bit nervous.
BAE: Can you describe what your prom dress in the movie looked like?
Christian: It was a baby pink strapless dress. It was very cute and it looked like candy.
BAE: What are some of your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
Christian: I had tried to knit. I started years ago and tried to pick it up again recently. I have mastered the braid. So now I just have this long braid as long as Rapunzel's hair. Someday I will do something with it. My goal is to learn to make a sweater.
BAE: Are there any actors/actresses/singers you look up to or would like to meet?
Christian: Actors: Today I saw Blue Sky with Jessica Lange and Tommy Lee Jones. They were fantastic. So now I want to see all the movies made with them. Right before leaving for Twilight I had a Catherine Hardwicke weekend - where my family/friends and I all watched every movie that Catherine directed and/or produced. Singers: Christina Aguilera
BAE: I know this must be hard, but do you enjoy acting or singing more?
Christian: They are both so different. I enjoy acting because I can play another person and let go in that way. I truly couldn't say.
BAE: Out of everyone one set, who do you think was most like their character?
Christian: We met for one short day but I would have to say that the "Quillete" boys are definitely very interesting and fun.
BAE: What do you think of the Twilight fandom and the whole Twilight phenomenon?
Christian: The fans are amazing. It’s cool to be apart of something so loved.
BAE: Breaking Dawn is coming out soon, do you have any predictions?
Christian: I do have wishes. Of course I'm anxious to see what happens to all of the characters.
BAE: Have you met Stephenie yet? If so, what was she like?
Christian: She was fantastic. She is a great writer. Anything she writes I now have this need to be the first one in and get it. I wanted to tell her a mess of things about how exciting this was for me and how great I thought she was and well I think I just said "hi" or something like that. I'm not sure. I truly wish I remembered what I said. She was sweet.
BAE: How did you get the part as Angela?
Christian: I was called in for Jessica but I really couldn't see much without my glasses on and I wanted to nail the audition, so out of the need to see I threw on my glasses and I came out with the the part of Angela!
BAE: Have you been bombarded by obsessive Twilight fans yet (lol)?
Christian: Everyone has been really nice. For me I just hope everyone enjoys the movie and my portrayal of Angela.
Thank you Christian for the lovely interview!
