Xavier Samuel - The next Twilight Star

You heard it on BuyingTwilight first. The new Twilight heartthrob will be the Australian actor Xavier Samuel who is set to play “Riley,” a newborn vampire, in Eclipse. At age 26, Xavier is a graduate of Flinders University Drama Centre program in Adelaide, where he took on Hamlet as his graduate performance. He has been recently crowned as the “hot” vampire in the insanely popular Twilight movie franchise, making his debut in its 3rd installment, Eclipse, due out this summer. Rumor has it that Xavier beat out Channing Tatum and Tom Felton of Harry Potter fame.

Oprah Winfrey exposed on Friday that the superstars of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” are going to be heading to Chicago next month to tape a much anticipated episode of her show. The statement came at the conclusion of her interview with “Twilight” celebrity Dakota Fanning, via skype. “Dakota, we’ll see you in Chicago on Thursday night, May 13,” Winfrey said. “We’ll have all the other huge ‘Twilight’ stars right here too. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner all will certainly be right here. Tune in to get a ‘Twilight’ show.” Pattinson did not advertise the franchise’s preceding film, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” in Chicago, but he did show up at the Orland Square Mall in Orland Park, Illinois. right ahead of the original “Twilight” came out. “Eclipse,” the 3rd movie within the collection, bites theaters June 30th.
