Matt Lanter jumped at the chance to star as the Edward Cullen character in the new Twilight parody, Vampires Suck.

"I just had to get on board," Lanter tells me. "Let's face it, Twilight is kind of an easy thing to make fun of."

Yup, Twi-hards, he said "easy thing to make fun of"…

"Bring it on, bring it on," Lanter cracked about the possible Twilight fan backlash. "But honestly what's been cool though is on Twitter and things like that, a lot of people have been really into it. A lot of Twilight fans have a good sense of humor about it and are saying they're going to see it."

But he does want everyone to know that he is not poking fun at RPattz. "I'm making fun of Edward, not Rob Pattinson," he said. "Rob seems like a cool guy and I'm sure he's got a sense of humor about it."

As for the dude who's spoofing on Taylor Lautner Jacob, Lanter said, "Our guy is actually really ripped and worked really hard on it , too. It's all real. There's no makeup abs or anything like that."
