Kirsten Prout recently sat down with PopEater to chat about all things Eclipse, Tae Kwon Do and the Vatican. Check out what the 19-year-old actress had to say:

On how she won the role of Lucy: “I just got the call. I went for one of the other vampires, Bree, and the vampire Bree is supposed to be thirteen years old with very short brown hair. So physically I was absolutely wrong for the part. But I went in, and the casting director and the director liked me so much that they said, ‘OK, you know what? We have another part.’ So they fit me in through that audition, into Lucy, who is also a newborn vampire, and she actually is the one who turns Jasper, which is interesting. The thing about Lucy is that she has long blond hair and very very pale blue eyes and skin, so physically I was a big match for Lucy. I went in for one more audition for Lucy and I ended up showing up on set a few days later.”

On finishing her tae kwon do training while filming Elektra: “I did tae kwon do for a very long time, and I made it to recommended black. I consider myself a black belt just because…(laughs) I got recommended black belt, and then I got Elektra and I couldn’t go to class anymore, but I had four personal trainers, who were all trained in tae kwon do and various martial arts. I did all my own stunts. (laughs) I pretty much finished my training there.”

On the Vatican condemning the Twilight franchise: “As for the Vatican…the Vatican pretty much condemns everything. It condemned Harry Potter. (laughs) Anything bigger than the actual church is condemned a lot of the time. To have attention, and that kind of fandom and that dedication, I think that’s unattractive to them. And it’s kind of expected. Vampires, mythical creatures of the night. I mean, look at the witch hunts and all these things that have happened with the Vatican. It’s a topic that they don’t really like to discuss a lot. It is what it is. And everyone is going to have their different reactions and everyone is entitled to say what they want….And it’s just a movie at the end of the day…just go in and enjoy the movie! Take it for what it is. It’s make-believe. It’s a teenage franchise. It’s a lot of fun.”

Kirsten Prout keeps it flirty in a midnight blue and pink dress as she attends The Bleeding premiere held at the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theater in West Hollywood on Monday night (November 2).

The 19-year-old actress caught up with Movieline at last week’s Fresh Faces in Fashion event and dished that she’s ready for the mania that comes with the Twilight phenomenon.

Kirsten shared, “I’m relatively ready. I try not to read the message boards. I get e-mails about them from my friends, some strange, strange stuff. I was at the GAP the other day, and there was a teller who literally was like, ‘You’re Lucy in Twilight.’ I can’t believe the fan base is so big and underground that people would recognize me from a movie that didn’t come out. I said ‘thank you’ and started blushing.”

She continued, “I got a taste of it when I was 13, and I was in Elektra. But coming onto Twilight? It’s a different kind of magnitude.”

Kirsten Prout is excited to play a vampire from the usual roles she gets offered.

The 19-year-old actress chatted with Limelife about whose team she’s on, being Lucy and playing a vampire. Check it:

On switching up roles from being the girl next door: “[It's] a good change because for a long time it was that little dimpled girl next door, and everyone’s going to be like ’she’s biting someone!’”

On if she’s Team Edward or Team Jacob: “Okay, I am team Edward, I am sorry Jacob fans but it’s Edward, they [Bella and Edward] are meant to be together.”

On her character, Lucy the vampire: “The character is extremely predatory and what’s amazing about playing a vampire is you are a predator and you lure in your pray and then you turn on them.”

Kirsten Prout is pretty in purple as she arrives at Gen Art’s 2009 Fresh Faces in Fashion event held at the Petersen Automovite Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday night (October 29).
