Tana Lee Alves/Getty Images, Charley Gallay/Getty ImagesEclipse has cast newcomer and Aussie hunk Xavier Samuel in what's sure to be a star-making role. He's Riley, a college student turned vampire who gets all kinds of seduced in order to kill our girl Kristen Stewart.
He's a twentysomething stud who's relatively unknown, extremely attractive and equipped with a heart-melting accent.
Sound familiar?
I bet you're wondering whether we're worried if supreme stud Robert Pattinson will finally get some babe competition on set...
Just a smidgen.
That's why we plan to keep an eye on this accented Aussie. Xavier's the inaugural subject of our Tornado Watch, where we predict who will shake things up behind the scenes and bring some stormy weather to the rarely calm Hollywood playing field.
The overseas hottie is the perf first example, as he may seem like the sweet boy next door right now, but we know that the minute he steps foot on that Eclipse set, all hell is bound to break loose.
He's barely been in the headlines for a week, and he's already stealing the scenes off-camera. We can't wait to see what happens when he and Rob meet face-to-face!
We're def not saying (or even hinting) at anything remotely tragic for Robsten, but there's something worrisome about the idea of a delish Aussie joining the third Twilight flick.
Australian men are sexy, sweaty, hunky and delicious. They might get in a bar fight or a bedroom brawl, or they might even strut around with vulgar language or drunken Aussie antics. Eric Bana, Russell Crowe...even Hollywood sweetheart Hugh Jackman has his own dirty secrets that nobody (well, almost nobody) knows.
They're real bad boys, and we love them. What's the most bad-boy thing Rob has done? Having a few too many brews, texting the wrong girl or leaving a questionable tip? That's kids stuff, honey pies.
What do you think? Ought we be worried about one Mr. Samuel?
