Twilight star Ashley Greene was on the verge of heading back to Florida until she landed the Alice Cullen role and her life has changed dramatically. Her New Moon costar Michael Sheen (Aro Volturri) quizzed her for Interview Magazine on what it’s like to be part of this huge franchise:
SHEEN: Now there’s so much more to this whole Twilight thing than just the films, isn’t there? There’s everything that goes with it—it’s a huge sort of phenomenon. What’s it like being right at the epicenter of that whole thing?
GREENE: [sighs] It’s a really hard thing to wrap your head around. I was working at a restaurant, I booked the role in Twilight, put in my two weeks’ notice, got fitted, flew to Portland, filmed, and then it started getting hype. That helped me get my foot into certain doors before the movie even came out. I did four independent films during the break between Twilight [2008] and New Moon. I haven’t even really had time to sit back and process it all. But when you do finally sit back and think about it, it’s incredible.
The actress has lots of movies coming up: Skateland will show at the Sundance Film Festival in January and she has just found her leading man, Sebastian Stan, for the upcoming flick Apparition. Check out the rest of the interview - Sheen is quite funny with his questions.
