200904151215.jpgAlex Meraz, Paul in New Moon, gets us up to speed on his progress in filming New Moon in this new video interview from Access Hollywood. He talks about transforming into a werewolf and working with Chris Weitz, among other topics. I’m sure I’m not the only one waiting to see his shirtless scenes!

  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    This is the first time I've seen him speak and I'm now quite obsessed with his mouth/lips. Is that weird?

    I nearly died when he starting talking about showing Chris Weitz how to work out. You can give me a demonstration any day, Alex! ;)

    **Imagination runs wild**
  • Not weird at all Bean i agree;]
    He has a very appaling voice.
  • Elloo
    hahah It's okay bean I know exactly what you mean!
    And seriously I can't wait for the "no shirt" werewolves :D :D
  • nomesters
    I like how seems really new to the fame thing. I mean, I know that he is, but you can even tell from the way he talks in the interview that he isn't used to it. It's cute.
    Team....team paul?
  • karolinaTJ82
    Exactly what i was thinking.
    anyone down for a Team Paul?

  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    LOL! is this the way our beloved Zac wants to win over Twilight fans? ROTFL
  • twifan89
    in his defense, i thought zac was really good in hairspray! it was such a great musical and i love it!
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    well... imo that's true, but thanks to the infamous GQ cover nobody cares :D
  • TeamEDWARD#1
    lol
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Yea, He was pretty good. But I don't see the huge appeal for Zac, I think that he has a very unusual face...I don't know, I just don't see it.


    HAHHAHA!! Surprise!! lol
    That totally just felt like I jumped out of a bush or something and attempted to scare the crap out of you. LMAO
  • twifan89
    bahahahhahahahaha!!!! OMG LMAO that is a great analogy because this post is from soooo long ago..your such an entertainer =)
  • Syra
    Haha well if it is, he should know he isn't really making an impression. LOL
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    LMAO, that's so funny!
  • FranCullen
    LOL that's what I was thinking!
    Is this Zac kid everywhere? agg!
  • Destined
    I know right. Man I'm so excited. I cannot wait to see all this on screen. Really look like it is going to be something else. Love that wolfpack baby!
  • i love rob
    I'm likin' that wolf "six-pack"...YUMMY!
  • TeamEDWARD#1
    lol
  • rachel
    yay transformations scene!
  • RobRocks
    his HOT and I am soooo looking forward to seeing it.
  • bina209
    he has a cuteness about him :)
    I cant wait to see the transformation scene! thats one of the main things i want 2 see..
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    OH MY GAWD...I'd have his babies! Running around in a pair off cut off, I'm drooling already!
  • IndiesR
    LMAO. You'll need a new computer soon with all the drooling you've been doing in the last couple of days. LOL
    I say you bill NMM.org for that. LMAO
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    And as for the cold weather, it's the way we like it Alex, it's keeps the raspberry ripples all tight and pointy! LMAO
  • IndiesR
    Exactly, we wouldnt want it any other way. LOL
  • FranCullen
    LMAO!
    I want soooo much to see that!! :D.....
  • honey bee
    ROFL IndiesR, you're too funny.

    But yeah, deedee. You might want to look into a drool guard for the keyboard. I recently purchased a screen guard for the monitor...ya know with all of that screen licking I've been doing for the past few weeks. Mmm hmm.
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    I have invested in a big bucket to keep beside me at all times when I'm on this site, I'll be bringing it to the cinema with me as well, It'll do a double job for catching the tears and the drool, I'll just sit with it under my chin LMAO
  • honey bee
    OOhh, what a visual! ROFLMAO. I think it's a fab idea; very practical! :P
  • you might start something there. i'll keep my eye out for girls with buckets @ the theatre when new moon comes out. :P
  • quamquam
    Seriously, you should sell small, New Moon themed buckets. You could have "Team ____" ones and let people write a name in (give out washable markers in case they, you know, change their minds wtih all those smokin' hot wolves on screen).
    PS~ Alex Meraz gives really cute interviews. I love it when people are pumped about what they do, even if it is phasing. Ok, especially if it's phasing. Naked phasing. Naked in the rain phasing.
    Maybe also sell small buckets filled with ice water to dump over the heads of those who get all hot & bothered. I may very well need it.
  • IndiesR
    LMAO.

    No one can blame us for these reactions though, look at what we have to work with...1/2 nakkid (hawt) wolfpack, and the cullen boys (everyone of them)...not to mention "Rob Pattison" (in a class by himself) Its a wonder we able to do other things than drool on and/or lick things. It's good to be a Twilight Fan!
  • i love rob
    My thoughts exactly!!!! You know what else I love about this site....I don't really have to make many comments....cause you girls say exactly what I'm thinking!!!!!

    The drooling, the licking...it is great to be a Twilight fan!!!!
  • IndiesR
    LOL.

    I'll say again, great (dirty) minds think alike. LOL
  • i love rob
    You got that right, my friend!!!
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    I haven't stopped, I am starting to keep a bucket beside me at all times when I'm on this site! Between the drooling and the tiny orgasms I'm having a ball...who needs a man eh? LMAO
  • IndiesR
    It's good to be a Twilight fan!!! LOL
  • i love rob
    Well, if that man happens to be Rob.....then, ME!!!!
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    With the exceptions off Rob, and I would not like to think he could cause tiny orgasms, but big massive multiple ones!! LMAO
  • i love rob
    Definitely no tiny orgasms!!!! Big massive ones...yes!!!

    Ohhhh, i bet he has a big massive something else! *WINK, WINK* And I'm not talking his feet...although those are pretty big!!!
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    Well you know what they say..Big feet =....BIG SOCKS!!! hahah LMAO

    I'd definitely say Little Rob ain't so little, when you see him scratching his knee..well thats what he's really scratching LMAO
  • twilover112
    ome guys! stop it
    you are seriously killing me here
    hahaha
  • LMAO! Can you imagine when him when "Paul" gets angry? Exploding clothes and all!

    Forget it. I'll just rip the clothes off myself no need to explode.
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    LMAO too true LOL,

    I don't know if you have these over there, but in the uk you can get these novelty pens that have a man/woman on them, you click the top and their clothes fall off, poof they are gone! LOL Now they should so make them for the wolves, they would make a fortune! LOL
  • honey bee
    :XXX

    ROFLMFAO

    I have to stop reading the site comments. You ladies are just TOO funny.
    I actually snorted from laughing out loud and tried to play it off as my chair squeaking . *RED FACED*
  • Look I was so distracted before I forgot to double check my comment. haha! Bad Alex! Bad! Look what he does to my brain. LeSigh!

    LOL! I haven't seen anything like that here. However if they made those for the wolves I would buy them! In bulk quantities! I'd be happier than a kid in a toy store.
  • i love rob
    Bad Alex is right!!! I bet he can be a bad, bad boy!!!! Oh no....there goes those naughty thoughts again!!!

    His wife is one lucky, lucky woman!!!!
  • Chris10
    OMG you are killing me LMAO!!!!!
  • FranCullen
    LMAO!!
    I'm at the "study room" of my college, and everybody is staring at me, oops?
    But what can I do? I just can't stop laughing at your comments!!
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    LMAO...I just can't help myself, my thoughts just leak from my brain.

    My poor laptop has been been nearly killed today from water damage, I've tortured the poor thing LOL
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    Hey TeamWolfPack, I'm surprised you were able to comment on this - thought you would have passed out in a dead faint after watching this! ;)

    Love your new pic BTW...
  • Oh I still have my keyboard keys imprinted on my face lmao!

    Thank you! I still can't see the new pic but I'm glad it's there!
  • i love rob
    Hmmmm....nice visual!!!
  • KINALuvzWolves
    Girl, your sentences don't even make sense anymore. Breathe.

    The thought of him running around in nothing but cut-offs. Wow. I totally deserve to be punched in the face by his wife right now.
  • lol! I know! I'm embarrassed for not double checking that comment before hitting post. haha! So sad.
  • Deejay
    I love his voice, ugh he is soooo dreamy. lol.
  • regi
    i was thinking just that when i first heard his voice! its so deep an sexy. lol
  • quamquam
    Yeah, I've been wondering what his voice sounded like... and now I know. Quite sexy and a slight accent (obviously everybody has one, but his is pretty noticeable to me).
  • IndiesR
    This makes it even harder to wait for November. Bring on the 1/2 nakkid boys....NM is going to be AWESOME!!!
  • MCJesus
    I know right?!?!

    haha I'm so excited for it!
  • bxbaby8827
    HAHAHA..I KNOW RIGHT...SOMEONE'S GONNA HAVE TO RESTRAIN ME IN THE THEATRES...
  • IndiesR
    Me too! LOL

    I'll probably do myself a favor and wear a "straight jacket"- hands already tied behind my back, and a muzzle over my mouth to hold back the screams. LOL
  • honey bee
    LOL I think we will have to watch New Moon in a padded cell. That's what it has come down to. Yup. :D LOL
  • IndiesR
    Padded cell...defiantely, we wont survive any other way. LOL
  • JenJen81
    He's a manly man! GRRRRR!
  • honey bee
    Good heavens.

    THANK YOU LORD!!!

    :x
  • i love rob
    And thank his parents!!!! They made an absoutely beautiful man!!!
  • honey bee
    ROFL, ilr! It's only right!
    Yes, THANK YOU, Mr. and Mrs. Meraz!! No, really..THANK YOU!!! :P
  • Chris10
    So true. He definitely okay in the genetic lottery!
  • ya i think he won the man prize in the genetic lottery just like rob taylor kellan and jackson lol
  • Chris10
    We sure did get a good looking cast!!
  • Tiffany
    Its really not that cold up here... suck it up buddy ;)
  • Hales
    Pshh, I know... wuss. It's like 15 degrees today (that's 60 F)! ! Oh, unless he's talking about that freak half-snow-fall a little while ago. But whatever, he is yummy and scrumptious and I want to just eat him up.
  • beeee2222
    Yumm shirtless... Im definately going to have to bring a drool bag with me to the movies when this comes out. There will be no way of controlling me! I think they are trying to kill me with all these good looking boys.
  • Pardon me while I pick the Y and O keys off of my face. Lack of oxygen again. Sheesh!

    That man is ugh.
  • IndiesR
    LMAO.
  • nena
    I'm from arizona too and it's warm over here he's not use to the coldness up there hahaha "it keeps the raspberry ripples all tight and pointy!" LMAO deedee81 I'm cracking up ;)
  • RustyHalo
    Oh man, I don't know how much more of this I can take and still keep my sanity in check until November. It's getting harder and harder. Bursting outta clothes, sexy/mean facial expressions, hard nips from the cold,etc...Oh my Paul! *passes out*
  • IndiesR
    LMAO....I'm sending a brown paper bag your way. Keep breathing, just think it gets better when he's shirtless....dont panic, your reaction is normal. LOL
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    :) lol......You might have send out a few of those :)

    I'm trying to get my husband to buy me a lap top so i can surf newmoonorg in bed :) Think it might be safer to do it lying down :)

    He's a bit hostile to the ide tho......... lol
  • IndiesR
    LOL. That's funny, that's what I requested for my birtday from my husband. I told him I needed it so I can be on here at all times, and I got one -hot pink from Dell. He's the best. Your's will come around, give him time. LOL
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    Wow, your husband rocks! :)

    My boyfriend bought me a huge new flatscreen for my b-day a few weeks ago and all weekend when I was moaning I was bored he was encouraging me to watch Twilight on it. Bless him!

    He still refuses to watch it with me though. He watched the beginning once, but when Edward walks into the cafeteria, he insisted he was CGI and not a real person, and wouldn't watch any more. LOL! He obviously thought no real person could be that handsome!
  • IndiesR
    Your boyfriend sounds like a keeper.

    LOL. I can totally understand where he's coming from. Rob's an angel, only angels are that georgous, cant say i blame your boyfriend for being a little skeptical. LOL
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    Hot pink lap top :) I need one of those!!!!!!

    I hope he comes around soon :) He's reading the series for the second time so that might be a good sign :) He's turning into quite the little Bella fan lol

    *crosses fingers and toes* lol
  • RustyHalo
    Lol, phew! Thanks for the bag I needed that, but pretty soon we are ALL going to need blood pressure and heart meds thanks to NMM!!!! Haha I Love it! =-D
  • IndiesR
    LOL. Well, thanks to NMM.Org and all us women fan of the Twilight men, I just found my new investment! Paper Bags! LOL
  • Daniela23
    I can't even get away from my computer for a few minutes...news are just coming and coming hah..

    I just can't wait to see that transformation. That part was always worrying me, and how will the wolves look like. I think I was afraid about that most of all.
    I am so excited, because it seems they will make it look original.
  • honey bee
    No, you really can't. Hahaha. I am constantly checking this website throughout the day too. :x I swear I've turned into an addict! This site has become my "own personal brand of heroin". :D
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI

  • Chris10
    He really is hot and will definitely be easy on the eyes with no clothes on BUT... he's also just too sweet. He seems to be handeling the attention very well. Yay Alex!!
  • tia_jb10 (Team Wet&Shirtless)
    "easy on the eyes"? i think not. he'll be too hard to look at when i've fainted but ill be tryin to come back for more lol
  • Chris10
    LMAO! I was trying to pay him a compliment that wasn't making hima piece of meat but I guess that's useless on here hahahahahaha!!! It's hard not to ooggle at all these pictures of all these hot men. I guess I should just give it up!
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    I'm sure they don't mind. If they don't like it, they shouldn't be so darn good looking.
  • tia_jb10 (Team Wet&Shirtless)
    lol ikr its all there fault lol
  • lovevampolves
    meh
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel

  • Jakeward

  • TrulyDazzled
    "I have no shirt...on." OMG ALEX IS HOT!
    This is the first time ive seen/heard him talk. :)
    I watched it the first time and I got excited and started at him.. I had to watch it again to udnerstand what they were talking about. That was still difficult so I watched it a 3rd time.. I might have to watch it again :D

    I was hoping he was gonna take his shirt off during the interview...
  • twiligthrox
    hes soo cute!
  • anen
    <3 Wow he's adorable seems like a nice guy & down to earth he's all hyped for the film which makes me excited looking forward to it
  • anen
    hahah Lol Chris Weitz frail body xD had to teach him some technics xD
    I'm already picturing the wolf pack flexing working out btw takes hehehe
    I hope that makes it in the bonus material of the dvd release...
  • BAM6AM88
    god he reminds of my ex boyfriend. same facial features LMAO. buhhh mannnn hearing him talk! hes pretty down to earth, love that!
  • ahbeeLautner
    ok so when he was talking about the transformation scene, did he mean when him and jacob<3 fight and like jacob legit burst out of his clothes(!!!!!!!) and becomes a werewolf to protect bella?
    oh and shirtless= :)
  • emma
    yup that's it
  • Team~Edward~96
    si, i'm pretty sure that's what he was talking about.
  • ahbeeLautner
    OH BOYY!!!!!
  • The transformation scene
    that sure is something im looking for
    just imagine it
    THEIR CLOTHES RIPPING OFF AND THEN.....
    better calm down
    no but when i think about it i think its the opposite.......i mean its better when they turn from wolves to humans.....because thats when they are humans and dont have clothes on
    AHH CANT WAIT FOR NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
  • emma
    hahaha yeah it's wolf to human = naked
    human to wolf = clothes ripping + fur
  • i know lol
    AHH TAYLOR AND PAUL GIVING ME THESE WILD THOUGHTS!!!!!
  • cutesweetiezzz
    Yes! The transformation scene, that was one of my favourite parts in New Moon. Can't wait to see it. It's not really that cold in Vancouver. It's April so the weather is getting warmer here.
  • emma
    he's from Arizona that's Desert Hot place. What canadians would call not that cold must be really cold for him
  • adriana
    they cant bee fliming eclipsee alreadyy,cuz in those pictures of jacob he has long hair and in the 2nd and 3rd book i dont think he has long hair.....
    but i cant wait for NEW M00n.hahahahaa♥♥♥
  • TeamJB
    Ok Alex with only shorts on!!!!...Where the HELL were those Set pics????
  • Team~Edward~96
    i was watching "Apologize" the other day, and i was thinking the whole time "Man, they have 2 have this song in New Moon!" so if i was the director, this is how i would do it. Bella has figured out that Jacob is part of the "gang" in La Push, and she's gone 2 talk 2 him. she's home again and thinking bout him, while the song is playing. then he comes and scares the crap out of her when he knocks on her window. that's how i would do it if i were chris weitz.
  • Hannah
    Seriously, if they make the werewolves have a Lupin-esque transformation, I'll shoot someone.

    I was NOT expecting that voice to come from him! It's so deep and... *tingles* Team Paul!!!
  • rpatzlove
    pshh it is not cold here in Vancouver lol
    well this week it has started to warm up and get sunny (it been around 12 degress :P)
    haha thats good that he likes Canadains :)
    I met him and he is even dreamer in person
  • SeXy_Team_Switzerland
    Cant wait to see him without his shirt...Also to see taylor!!!
  • totally rite
  • OnceBitten
    Come on...only because we're twi-addicts doesn't mean we have to bash every other male actor that isn't involved in these movies. I think Zac is hot and talented. He's gonna make it big now that the whole HSM movies are behind him...just as Rob and Taylor are doing. There are so many finger lickin' male actors right now...so we just have to share the love...not that I prefer Zac over Rob. I mean, Zac's cute in the "boy-next-door" type of way...while Rob is hot in the I-will-do-anything-you-want-me-to-just-as-long-as-we-are-lying-down type of way. Hell, every damn guy is hot in the movie....even Charlie!
  • Lia
    Yeah, his lips and voice they are very attracting... His body language and attitude are very sexy !!
