Following the tradition it set in January when Michael Sheen interviewed Ashley Greene to promote "New Moon" in Interview magazine, this latest issue features Bryce Dallas Howard interviewing Xavier Samuel to promote "Eclipse."

Kristen Stewart apparently missed out on getting interviewed by one of her "Twilight" costars when she had her issue back in October, but she did get the pleasure of being interviewed by Dennis Hopper.


We really love that it was Bryce who interviewed Xavier, because — by playing bad girl vampire Victoria — she was the one who got to spend the most time with him while filming. Their interview is peppered with personal anecdotes (make sure you read about that time she photographed him with a raccoon) and Bryce's interesting assessment of Australian actors, though it doesn't give us the most interesting look into Xavier as a person.

"It’s kind of bizarre, isn’t it?" he said about all the attention he has been receiving by being the newest attractive male addition to the "Twilight Saga" cast. "I’m not under the microscope in the same fashion that a lot of the other cast members are, so I think I can slide under the radar a little bit more, but getting any attention at all is completely new for me."

"Eclipse" is Xavier's first American film, and he's mostly known for his "introspective boy-next-door" characters in Australian indies. He explained that in Australia, just getting an audition is hard, let alone getting a film role, while in Hollywood he gets numerous auditions a week. That is what sets him apart as an Australian actor, he said: his desire to always do his absolute best.

"It was juicy to get to play a villain who’s being manipulated in this bloody 'Macbeth' scenario. But it’s also kind of intimidating, in a way, to step onto a big set like that for the first time. There was no real frame of reference for me, because most of the films I’ve been involved with in Australia have been smaller in scale," Xavier said.
