Alex Meraz: Martial Arts Workout
One of the New Moon hunks from the Twilight series was crowned People Magazine’s Sexy Man of the Week, and yes Alex Meraz is definitely sexy. Unlike co-stars Taylor Lautner and BooBoo Stewart who had to prepare for their roles, Alex has been in good athletic shape since he was a kid. Growing up he was involved in dance and martial arts such as karate and MMA style of fighting. While on the Rachel Ray Show last week he revealed a bit about his martial arts and how he correlates it to his character Paul in the movie New Moon.
“I’m a huge MMA fan, like cage fighting, things like that so I did a lot of that….Paul, he’s volatile, he’s scrappy he just carries his weight differently, you know he’s a fighter so I thought it was just so appropriate with my background and what I’ve been doing.”
Meraz and Rachel Ray went on to discuss how things coincidentally become aligned and it wasn’t just a fluke that he got the part as Paul. Meraz went on to say that it was his birthday the day of the audition and it was also the biggest full moon of the year, hence New Moon, and over the two weeks he was waiting to hear rather or not he got the part he often found hawks circling overhead. Hmmm, well, so Meraz may be a mystic but we can still appreciate his martial arts-masterd physique.
New Moon premieres November 20th.
