Breaking Dawn Dad On The Move...And On Twitter

This Breaking Dawn hottie keeps his Twitter followers up-to-date on his daily travels, and boy is he busy!

Peter Facinelli is not only the dreamiest vampire daddy doctor on the big-screen, but he's also a hunky doctor on the small screen, and that can get a little hectic.

The "on-call doctor," as he calls himself, spent a day filming Nurse Jackie in New York and then jet off to Louisana for Breaking Dawn rehearsals the next day!

He tweets: "I've left La. and am now in LA. Confused? Me 2. Bright side- my kid has a Halloween party 2night. Think I'll go as a weary traveller."

AND he's an active Halloween dad?!
He's just full of surprises. (source)

Peter At LAX

Peter Facinelli was rolling solo yesterday when he touched down at LAX. He's home in California again after his latest traveling adventures, which included stops in Dubuque, IA, Chicago, and even Monroe, MI. Now Peter's looking forward to spending time around home with his wife, Jennie Garth, and their three daughters. He'll soon head off to film Breaking Dawn and has already gotten his wardrobe for the film fitted. As soon as production on the next installment of the Twilight series starts, there's sure to be renewed interest in Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's romance — Peter, though, isn't one to discuss their situation. Costar Kellan Lutz also won't touch on their private lives, and he recently told fans in Israel that he won't comment. (popsugar)

Peter Clears - Up Nude Volturi Rumor

In all the "Twilight" fandom, there are few actors as beloved as Peter Facinelli, and for good reason. Whether he's attending celebrity softball games, taking phone calls from his wife or making a grown man dance in a bikini for their entertainment, the veteran actor is every bit as caring and compassionate to Twilighters as Dr. Carlisle Cullen himself.

While at TwiCon this past weekend, we caught up with Peter to discuss the nude-Volturi scandal, "New Moon" and why he wants to dress like a giant banana.

MTV: So, Peter, are you going to head over to the convention floor here at TwiCon and buy any "Twilight" merchandise?

Peter Facinelli: No, I don't buy them. Because it's like, if you live in the state, you don't go to the local tourist attractions. I mean, I'm in that world of "Twilight," so I don't walk around with a Carlisle T-shirt. But it is pretty fantastic when you see these fans that have the tattoos of the Cullen crest and words from the books tattooed on them. ... Their dedication is beyond anything I've ever seen.

MTV: There was a vicious storm Friday night here in Dallas, thunder and everything. Did the Cullens bring the rain with them?

Facinelli: Yeah, I noticed that. I got here and it was sunny, and then I looked out the window again, and it was pouring. I thought, "Oh, what a great day for vampires!"

MTV: We saw two awesome "New Moon" clips at Comic-Con. So what did you think of Edward as an apparition?

Facinelli: I don't know; I haven't seen it.

MTV: You were in San Diego, but you didn't see the footage?

Facinelli: No, I didn't get to see it. Some of the fans have seen more than I have. It's so surreal.

MTV: Wow! Well, speaking of what you've seen: We interviewed Jamie Campbell Bower recently, and he was talking about a scene that you guys filmed for "New Moon."

Facinelli: Right, I read that. The flashback where they're all bathing in the Roman bath.

MTV: Chris Weitz says the scene doesn't exist. Can you set the record straight?

Facinelli: No, they were naked. It was really weird! I mean, I come in and I'm in full 18th-century garb, and they're in the Roman bath. Maybe it's a surprise or something ...

MTV: Are you messing with me?

Facinelli: [Laughs.] Yeah, I was. I thought [Bower's joke] was really funny, so I was gonna try and roll with it. But no, there are no nude Volturi in "New Moon."

MTV: OK, we can appreciate a joke. But can you at least tell us: Did you really film a scene for Carlisle where he's meeting the Volturi?

Facinelli: We did film a flashback scene, but we're fully clothed in our garb from that era. It's pretty cool. I think people are going to dig that. I like doing the flashback scenes, because you get to dress up in different time periods. It's set in a time, I think the 1800s, where I have traveled to Italy and I was living with the Volturi.

MTV: How is it set up?

Facinelli: Edward is basically telling Bella the story of who the Volturi are, and then it flashes to scenes of me and the Volturi ... in the Roman bath. [Laughs.] No, we're not in the Roman bath. We're playing cards.

MTV: Playing cards?

Facinelli: [Laughs.] It's a secret, because it's not in the book. We can't give away all the secrets — you'll have to go and see the movie.

MTV: Your co-star Jackson Rathbone has been playing with his band all throughout TwiCon. Would you ever be willing to join him onstage and make it 101 Monkeys?

Facinelli: [Laughs.] You know, I keep telling him I want to dance in the banana suit. He has a guy that dances in a banana suit, and I said, "Can I come to your concert and dance in the banana suit?" I have no musical inclination at all — but I can dance in a banana suit like nobody's business.

MTV: I just hope we're there to film it.

Facinelli: Yes. [Laughs.] I hope so too.

Peter Facinelli Talks 'Eclipse' Rehearsals


After an exhaustingly long flight from Hawaii, and a long day signing autographs, taking pictures, and speaking at the question and answer panel at TwiCon 2009, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Nurse Jackie star Peter Facinelli was so kind as to speak about The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, whose rehearsals begin tomorrow, he says.

AB: Rehearsals start in about a week, is that right?

PF: Tuesday.

AB: And are you looking forward to it?

PF: Oh yeah, I re-read Eclipse on my Hawaiian vacation, and then I read the script right after.

AB: How is it?

PF: It’s great. You know, it’s hard to cram a whole book into a movie and some of the details get lost in areas and in some areas they get heightened. The story’s the same, and I’m happy with it.

AB: What was your favorite part of Eclipse?

PF: I actually like that, in the book, a lot of the family members are talked about, and in the movie they’re in it a lot more. The books are all told from Bella’s perspective, so a lot of times, when she’s not in the scene and things are happening, you don’t actually get to see them, like the battle scene, for instance. In Eclipse when the whole family and the werewolves are fighting the newborn vampires, it’s talked about and through Edward you kind of get something, but in the movie you actually get to see it, you know, so I like that in the interpretations of the movies, it’s not always about Bella’s perspective. She isn’t always in the scene, and so that opens up the story a little bit. The Cullens are in it a lot more throughout.

AB: So, in that case are you doing stunt work?

PF: Yeah, we’re going up there and we’re going to have fight training. I’m excited about that. I mean, I’m a guy, so I like the action stuff, and I’m excited because it’s fun for me to have Carlisle be part of the action stuff – get in there and roll up his sleeves. For an actor, it’s fun, but for playing the character too there’s a whole other side.

AB: It’d be interesting to see … have they told you at all how they’re going to fight because in the mythological world, it’s kind of an attack and bite system between vampires and werewolves … is that what they’re going for?

PF: I have no idea. I’ll know more when I get up there, and I’m sure David [Slade] has a better idea of how we’re going to play all that. You know, Catherine [Hardwicke] had certain ideas of how we were going to play it. Chris had his ideas how we move. I know that when we did Twilight, you know Catherine actually had us do cat classes because she wanted us to be more cat-like and like the whole world of vampires more like a feline family, and werewolves more like the canine family, and so the way we moved was more cat-like. And then Chris [Weitz] came and he was like, you know what, I kind of want it to be not so feline/canine and their movements be a little more stealthy, so the way he showed vampires was a little bit different in New Moon. Like if I had to get from here to across the room, you know, he’ll have a camera on me and then whip-pan than then I’ll be over there. So, it’s not like all of a sudden, I’m doing some kind of weird Fab Four run to the other side of the room which is interesting. There’s a lot of in-camera to express the vampire movement, and I don’t know what David has in store for that. So, that’s the interesting thing about having different directors. They have different interpretations for the same story.
