Edi Gathegi Laurent New MoonNew Moon villain Edi Gathegi spoke at the Twilight convention last weekend, and MTV has a recap on some of the interest things he touched on, including a few words about how his showdown with wolves was filmed–

When asked whether his character’s penultimate showdown was more of a fight or a chase, Gathegi remained mostly mum, but did concede that it was hard acting with something that wasn’t there. “We basically acted with a man holding a piece of cardboard shaped like a cow. So when you see the movie, look at my eyes and [decide], is he seeing a cow or is he seeing a wolf?”

  • he had me dying during this part of the convention! he kept going back to it with everything he said... he was like when your watching let me know cow or wolf in his eyes... and he did this skit with two women talking during the movie about how they want their money back cause they saw a cow in his eyes lol
  • Green_Twilight

  • Like your avi too! One of my fav parts of Twilight is when they do that close up shot of Edward's eyes/mouth during the Biology scene when he's gawking at Bella. That one pretty much kills me.

    Headline:

    Laurent runs scared from a cardboard cow
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    About Laurent............... something has always puzzled me...................

    Anyone?

    Laurent is a French name; however, Edi's Laurent seems to have a slight Irish accent.

    Would love to hear theories....................

  • What Obsession?
    It might take a couple of viewings for me to even see if he seeing a cow or wolves. I'll be excited the first couple of watching it till I actually start breaking down the movie.
  • TeamVampiresWearGucciSuits
    A COW? !!!! I hope that doesn't mean the pack's wolf howls sounded like Moooooooooooooooh???!
  • 4thewolf
    ROTFL.. This guy is great.. .. and that just ruined that shot because as he's running I'm going to be envisioning mooing cows running towards him..

    *Laurent watches horrified as a tall white guy waddles towards him menacingly and blurplodes into a rabid cow*
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    haha wouldn't it be more like moosplodes? and LMAO @ "rabid cow" hahaha! that's quite a mental image! how the heck would it moo and snarl at the same time?
  • 4thewolf
    Hey, Miss.. left the door open last night, so I assumed you didn't get kicked out for singing. LOL



    Yeah.. the more I think about it , the scarier the cows sound.. I mean you EXPECT wolves.. but cows running clutzily through the woods with an evil moo? *shudders*



    and unfortunately that just completely killed the sex appeal, too..



    "Bella. .I need to tell you something.. but I can't tell you... THINK... "



    *Bella dreams about Edward beckoning her, looking evil and Jake shaking on the ground, and suddenly.. a dairy cow appears in the forest*



    *Bella wakes up, suddenly wondering if the reason the Quileutes are so tall is because they drink a WhOLE Lotta milk*



    LOL LOL LOL .. *wilts* okay.. I need a Tay fix to wipe out that image. ;)
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    ROFLMAOHAHAHAHAHA!!! OH GOODNESS.... we need to put the werecow to rest, i think!
  • 4thewolf
    PLEASE!!!!



    *tosses blonde ponytail and walks away, thoroughly revolted *



    LOL
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    hahaha!

    dearly beloved, we gather here today to mourn, no- to celebrate- the passing of the werecow. may it rest in peace.
  • 4thewolf
    *werecow rises as a ghost and hovers in air*



    *snapcracklepop and 4TW scream and run like crazy for LaPUsh, laughing and tripping*



    IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHH!!!
  • 4thewolf
    PLEASE!!!!



    *tosses blonde ponytail and walks away, thoroughly revolted *



    LOL
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    ROFL!!

    NOOOO! There's already enough of the undead in this town, now it's the ghost of the werecow????


    *helps 4TW up and books it for the beach*
  • TeamRotation (Meg1)
    LoL - moosplodes. Did you ever see a cow run? I find it rather entertaining. LOL

    The farm across from my house used to have cows.. they're so placid, but omg, so damn funny when something startles them.

    ::pictures a startled cow running after laurent:: ::dies laughing::
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    LOL yeah, some people a couple of miles down the road had some dairy cows and one easter they busted the fence and were literally running pell mell down the road with the cops chasing after them!


    i can just imagine laurent's terrified face as he runs full speed away from a ravenous cow!!
  • TeamRotation (Meg1)
    LOL - that must've been entertaining! We've had them in our yard (jail break from the pasture!), but I've only seen them run in the field. Though the one day my mom and I went on a mini-trip.. we were coming home through an area with lots of fields and farms.. and we were both quiet. And we both just happened to glance toward the left to see one cow sniffing another cow's bum right there at the fence. We nearly died laughing. lol

    I think cows are funny doing this stuff because they don't normally DO anything that interesting.
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    So, when they had to shoot the pack going after him was it more like a stampede?
  • kerbear585
    haha that's funny. Vampire killed by dairy cow!! lol. well that makes sense cuz they would have had to hold us something and make it attack him so he would have known where to fight off and stuff. good idea. can't wait to see it!
  • PhoenixMP3 ~ Mrs. Cudmore
    ha ha ha ha ha this guy kills me I am so sorry we won't see him in Eclipse, sheer entertainment value is priceless!!!!

    Is is a mountain lion? Is is a horse? Is it a wolf? Nope no it's ... it's a COW!!!

    Run for your life Laurant or the cow is going to get you..........

    Crap that scene is now totally ruined for me I'll be thinking black and white cows running after him............lol
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    Feel the cow, Edi. Breathe the cow!

    I don't understand why Summit is forcing all the actors to keep mum about so many things. It's not the end of the world if Edi speaks about his experiences behind the scenes on New Moon. My God, this is not Fort Knox.

    Or Robert Pattinson's underwear.
  • ScarletI *Team Pea Coat!!!*
    Aren't those words synonymous?

    ROTFLOL!!!

    I'm SORRY wolf-girls! I just COULDN'T resist! I mean...he left it WIDE open!

    *giggles and prepares for attempted Scarlet slaughter*

    You KNOW I love you all!
  • IloveyouEdward
    LMAAAAAAO
    omg he is soo funny
    ah i love you edi :)!
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    LOL I was there when he said this! Then someone left him a COW piggy bank on his seat the next day. It was hilarious. Edi is a comedian. So So FUNNY! When I went up to get my autograph I told him if the acting doesn't work out he can always do stand up!
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    He said they had Cow on a cardboard stick and they would chase them LOL he was so funny!
  • SiempreCrepusculo
    LMAO!
    I love Edi. He's highlarious!
  • HuskyLove123
    "MOOO"
    lmao
  • JMtoCullen
    Ugh I hate school!!! I miss all the news!! :(

    i love cows!! Lol
  • MrsSpunkRansom
    LMAO Edi is friggin hilarious.


    "mooo!"
  • cutesweetiezzz
    I agree with Edi, "God bless Chris Weitz,"

    I'm really going to miss Edi in Eclipse. He was always really funny and got along well with the cast. I'm sure he is going to have a bright future.
  • JazzyGirl
    Lolz I remember this! I was at that convention, awesome time.
    I remember later on someone had asked "If you were a vegetarian vampire what animal would you eat?"
    And Edi's like "As some of you recall I did try being a vegitarian vampire for a while... I ate cows! *Does 1 Woman's Voice* There's cows in his eyes! *Does Another Woman's Voice* That's because he ate them! He ATE THEM! *Does Woman #1 Again* Well then that's worth the price of admission!"
    Edi is such a freaking hilarious guy.
  • iappy
    OMG! I was at the convention and I'm the one who asked him this question. He is just amazing/hilarious!!!
  • riza ♥ vamps(teamEDWARD_4ever)
    haha! got to love edi. xD hes a crack up! ;))
