EXCLUSIVE: Twilight' star Michael Welch on 'Eclipse' action, 'a new breed of vampires'
"Twilight" saga actor Michael Welch (a.k.a. Mike Newton) spills the beans exclusively to The Dish Rag about what's coming up in "Eclipse."
"'Eclipse' will be awesome," he reveals. "It's
actually my favorite book in the series. We're introducing a lot of new
characters. The vampires and the werewolves expand. There is a new
breed of vampires. I know that all-out war breaks out. It's going to be
really fun. A lot of my cast mates worked really hard in training to do
a lot of the acrobatic stuff."
We're guessing he means Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson? Safe bet.
"I don't know if I'll be in that. Not sure yet. I hope so though," he says.
Because we ran into Michael at the Valentine Romance 'Sneak Peek' Oscar Suite checking out Rocks Concrete and precious stone jewelry by Miles McNeel, we had to ask about his VD plans with his gorgeous actress girlfriend Marissa Lefton. He took her to the premiere of "New Moon."
But duh, he's not gonna spill deets, right? Not like some guys we know. Are you listening, John Mayer?
But Michael did say this is the first time they've not been working so they can celebrate together. We also suspect she may be getting some of the jewelry he was looking at.
But he did tell The Dish Rag, "My fantasy someday, is with her of course, to fly in a hot air balloon over the Eiffel tower, sprinkle roses all over Paris and drop chocolates onto people's heads."
Sounds romantic. Not sure how the Parisians will feel about being hit with thorny roses and gooey chocolates, though.

He's so fun in Twilight. I hope they use him in all of them. Comic relief he is!
What a cutie-would like to see more of him everywhere! He sounds wise too.
Hate to break the bad news but the only humans in Breaking Dawn are Bella and her father. Mike Newton's not in it.
Um...the humans are in the begining at the wedding.
Mike Newton is too in BD; you forgot about the wedding! Edward gets ticked because he can read Newton's improper thoughts about Bella at the reception
Micheal Welch (aka Mike Newton) is actually a very good actor. He caught my attention in Twilight the first movie, then in New Moon. He is a great actor! Probably even better than Pattison. Listen to the narration on the Twilight DVD, even Pattison admits that Mike Welch is a great actor!
