Gossip Teen

Actor, model and now fashion designer.

Kellan Lutz is branching out, working his magic behind the scenes (as well as those sexy abs in front of the cameras) and the 26 year-old has launched his clothing line Abbot + Main with Dylan George founder Danny Guez.

The Twilight: Breaking Dawn vampire wants to give customers a laid back vibe that reminds him of Venice Beach, California.

“I used to live on the corner of Abbot Kinney and Main,” Lutz said. “And I just love the feeling in Venice. That’s what I was trying to capture with Abbot + Main.”

Lutz, who is also the face of the Dylan George brand of denim, isn’t satisified with just modelling the clothing – he’s giving design direction and choosing materials.

“I am a part of every decision,” he said.  “Nothing gets decided on unless it comes through me.  I put in a lot of input now like I did in the beginning.”

“We raided my closet to find out what type of shirts I usually wear and what kind of fabrics I like,” Lutz continued. “Because I didn’t just want to be the face of the campaign, but have it be my brand.”

Right now the collection is a small men’s wear line. They hope to expand to women’s wear next year.

The 25 piece collection includes henleys, t-shirts and hoodies priced between $48 and $178 and is available at Nordstroms stores and online.

We know he has an incredible six pack but it’s still always awesome to see Kellan Lutz display his hard rock abs.

The Twilight: Breaking Dawn actor grants our wish when he gets sexy and steamy (with not too much in the way of clothes on) for the Fall ad campaign of the Dylan George line and Abbot + Main by Dylan George.

Lutz is also collaborating on the Abbot + Main offshoot which will consist of 25 Venice Beach inspired separates ranging in price from $44 to $178.

Kellan is partnered with model Anne V for some of the shot. The gorgeous gal is the girlfriend of singer Adam Levine.

Twilight star Kellan Lutz was forced to answer more questions about his super sexy hot body and the infamous Calvin Klein underwear ad (photos here). You can tell Kellan is kind of tired of having every single woman on the planet lusting after him.

Kellan is glad to have more screen time in the new movie “Eclipse” and talks about the incredible Twilight fans. Girls, Kellan loves us all! Kellan Lutz’s Metro interview:

Before you began acting, you were a model. What about Calvin Klein underwear made you want to go back to modeling again?

I got into modeling because I was in a financial crisis. It was a great way to make money. I never thought I was pretty by any means.  But it was great to be a part of that world. And the pinnacle of that world is to be on a billboard. I grew up wearing Calvin Klein. As a model, I  dreamt of being Marky Mark, being on a billboard, and selling that company.

Speaking of Marky Mark, were you nervous about comparisons when shooting this campaign?

I was thrilled. I loved Marky-Mark’s campaign. And by no means was I trying to fill his britches or, uh, boxer-briefs. I was just stepping into them and doing my best to follow his footsteps. And that’s all I can hope and pray for.  I think the audience has really enjoyed the campaign, so it’s nice to be a part of it.

Any surprises in store for the next “Twilight” movie, “Eclipse”?

It’s really tough for our characters — the movies are based on the books.  So a lot of characters are like — they barely have lines, they’re barely in it.  But you can’t rewrite the books. I’m just grateful to have a line or a purpose in there. But definitely, Emmett’s character and story grow immensely in “Eclipse.”  You see the battle between the [vampire] newborns and you see the werewolves coming along.  It’s a big fighting movie and that’s Emmett’s strength. So there’s the fighting and the big brother role, which is nice.

Since you were already in production, did you really have to prepare physically for this Calvin Klein campaign?

Well, I did. You know Emmett, my character, is more of the big guy. So I don’t need the washboard abs, just the size. I did a lot of push-ups and tons of protein. But for Calvin Klein, it’s underwear. So I called up my buddy Rich McDonald, who’s a personal trainer friend of mine. He put me on a great diet that took out the candy (which I love) and the carbs past 4 o’clock (which I break here and there). And he told me a great thing, which is to drink water as much as you can. ’Cause when you don’t drink water, your body needs to hold on to it to stay hydrated. So I started training with him and he got me into the shape that I need to be for the campaign. I trained for two weeks.

Have you seen the line of fans waiting outside for you?

No, I didn’t actually. But I love the fans.  We in the “Twilight” franchise have the best fans. And it’s really cool to see them come out to something other than “Twilight,” you know? ’Cause then it feels more personal.  Then they’re Kellan’s fans.

Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz has signed a modeling contract with Calvin Klein to pose in their sexy underwear for a major advertising campaign that will be featured in huge billboards and several magazines.

“He’s going to be their new Mark Wahlberg,” the insider told Fox411.com. “Kellan has been signed to Calvin Klein for a huge campaign that will feature him in his skivvies all over billboards and in magazines.”

“The executives have a plan to model the ads very similarly after the famous Mark Wahlberg campaign in the 90’s,” the source said. “They want to recreate the look of the hugely successful ads, and who is better than Kellan Lutz to fill out those little underwear?”

Kellan over Mark any day! Kellan’s ripped abs are ridiculous – he has, without a doubt, the best six-pack in the business! But even more exciting than the pleasure of seeing those fabulous abs is the possibility of admiring the whole package! We cannot wait to see Kellan in his CK underwear!!
