ACTOR Xavier Samuel is in demand. Tudor earl, vampire, shopper beset by man-eating sharks … he has been all these and more. But whatever his role, he is a man with innate style
Xavier Samuel has a face that you might not immediately recognise – unless you’re a teenage girl or an aficionado of the Twilight movies – and it could be argued that this is what has set him on a sure path to superstardom. This year Samuel has three feature films due for release. And at just 27 years old, his CV is pretty impressive, with roles in movies such as September, Newcastle, The Loved Ones and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
There’s no doubt the Adelaide-raised actor has the right looks to be a Hollywood leading man but, unlike some other rising Aussie stars, he hasn’t had the pressure of being labelled the next Mel Gibson or the next Russell Crowe. Samuel has just been getting on with the job and, as his hectic work schedule attests, Hollywood’s power players have sat up and noticed.
WISH chose Samuel to be the cover star of our annual Best Dressed issue because, along with fellow actors Chris Hemsworth, Ryan Kwanten and Jesse Spencer, he represents a new breed of Aussie male: one who isn’t afraid to look good on the red carpet for movie premieres and awards shows and who recognises that it’s Hollywood after all. Forget Gibson and Crowe, these guys are the next Errol Flynns.
Samuel seems to be enjoying his itinerant lifestyle, going from one film set to the next. “There is some endurance involved with travelling and not having a permanent base and that’s part of the nomadic, gypsy excitement that comes with that,” says Samuel about his prolific, back-to-back film schedule – a rarity in the entertainment industry – that has been non-stop since he graduated from the Flinders University Drama Centre in 2005.
