He loans his voice to the role of
Tarzan in his latest film, but it was his prodigious muscles that took
centre stage as he promoted his latest film on ITV breakfast
show Daybreak.
Taking to the sofa on Wednesday
morning, Kellan’s hulking frame was hard to miss as he eulogised about
the forthcoming film from German director Reinhard Klooss, in which he
takes a starring role as the boy raised by apes from infancy.
Sporting a tight fitting shirt that
appeared to accentuate his well-defined upper-body, the 29-year-old hunk
admitted his appearance in e movie added another tick to his
wish-list.
‘For me growing up I loved Disney movies so little boys dream come true playing Tarzan as well as Hercules,’ he told hosts Aled Jones and Ranvir Singh.
The animated adventure sees Tarzan
and Jane – voiced by Spencer Locke – go head to head with merciless
Greystoke Energies CEO William Clayton, the man charged with managing
the company following the death of Tarzan’s parents in a plane crash.
Shot primarily in Munich, the film
took more than four-years to make – and Kellan admitted he signed up
half-way through its development.
‘I got brought into it about two
years down the road – so Reinhardt, the director, writer, producer of
it, this has been his passion project for the last ten years.
‘He just fell in love with the gorilla world and really just wanted to retell this story in more of a contemporary, modern way.’
He added: "When I got brought
onto it he had his storyboards, and I’ve never done anything in the form
of motion capture or in that sort of animation and you see how much
work goes into pre-production, and then post with the animation, so it’s
a big process.’
While the actor loans his voice to
the film, the motion capture process required Lutz, best known for his
role as Emmett Cullen in the Twilight franchise, to adopt ape-like
mannerisms.
‘The hardest thing for me was learning how to walk Tarzan style,’ he said. "Twilight
is playing a vampire, you’re dead essentially... not like Tarzan. I
shot the movie for a month and half and it’s the best experience I’ve
ever had.’
The actor later showed his playful
side by beating his chest Tarzan style before opening up about two of
his four patents, admitting they reflect his passion for personal
fitness.
'For me I travel the world a lot,
I love what I do and I have a healthy, active lifestyle, so a lot of
the hotels I stay at don’t have gym facilities, or I like to get active
on the aeroplane – I get a bit fidgety, so I’ve created a couple of
workout devices, just to help with the training I guess,' he said.
Tarzan is released in the UK on May 2.
