16-year old Cameron Bright, set to play Alec in New Moon alongside Dakota Fanning as Jane, says that his celebrity status from landing a role in Twilight and other high-profile films hasn’t really changed him.
“If I didn’t live here, I think I would probably be that stereotypical actor. In Hollywood, everyone wants to be an actor and just flaunt it,” he said. “Here, they just don’t care.”
Bright, who lives with his brother Bryce, 19, and his mother, Anne, said being famous has its challenges.
“If I start a relationship with a girl and I tell one person in the morning, after lunch I get 30 e-mails: `Are you going out with so-and-so?’”
But Bright said he is ready for fame.
“When I signed up to be an actor, I knew if I want a career and to be famous, I’ll have to deal with fans – not only deal with them but they’re my lifeline. They’re the ones who are going to (see) my movies.’”
The article also says that Bright is signed on for the next three sequels of Twilight–confirming that he’ll be signed on all the way till Breaking Dawn. Check out the rest of the article at the Vancouver Sun.

What is it about vampires that makes the world so fascinated with them? 24 Hours Vancouver has a story looking at the history of vamps in culture, and why Twilight has touched such a nerve with the imagination of young and old alike–
“For some reason, Stephenie Meyer has caught on with a sort of Harlequin vampire,” said Hector Williams, a professor of classical archeology at the University of British Columbia who specializes in vampires. “It’s a new form that’s been put with an attractive group of young people. Before that, vampires tended to be middle-aged or older.”
Williams said the Twilight phenomenon doesn’t surprise him but that it’s only one of many versions of the fanged bloodsucker that have seduced the public.
“Vampires have been around for centuries,” he said. “[They’ve had an appeal] for the last 200 years.”
