Peter Facinelli Talks About The Training For ‘Eclipse’

Peter Facinelli (aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen) spoke with New York Magazine about the training they did for the fight scenes in Eclipse.

Ever since Taylor Lautner miraculously went from total weakling to strapping, eight-abbed man-beast during the short break between the shooting of the first two Twilight movies, his male co-stars have been inspired to play catch-up. Last night we ran into Peter Facinelli, who plays Carlisle Cullen (Robert Pattinson’s dad) in the series, at an absurdly long-named event in Los Angeles (Calvin Klein Collection & L.A. Nomadic Division Event in Support of L.A. Arts Month and ALAC, in case you were wondering). “I’m really excited about Eclipse — we did a lot of training for that movie, like six weeks of fight training,” he told us. “It was funny because it became almost like an in-house competition and everyone was always in the gym or working out. Sometimes we’d work out like three times a day. One time, I was in my apartment and I was going down to do my workout, and the elevator doors opened and Kellan Lutz was [in there] doing push-ups. I was like, ‘Okay, Kellan, you win! You win the competition!’”

Kellan looks like he’d be so competitive!  LOL! 

Hi Peter!! Hope you’re reading this again!  Retweet!  Retweet!

We’re all excited to see Eclipse!  GAH!  How much longer?!!  150 days!!!  ACK!!
