"The Volturi are the closest thing my world has to royalty" "They Enforce the law." "Vampires have laws?" Veronica Delfino: New cast members in the Twilight saga, New Moon include the legendary Volturi, those in-charge of governing the vampire world. Hi, I'm Veronica with watchmojo.com and today we’re speaking with Christopher Heyerdahl who play as the apathetic Marcus. Marcus is a very apathetic man with his heartbroken, was it hard to paly that role? Christopher Herdahl: No, I've got my heart broken before. It's a wonderful counterpoint to—you know, Aros and Caias who are so hardcore, and they just love what they do. Whereas Marcus, he’s in his state of broken heartedness for thousands and thousands of years, the poor guy. And he sees these two young people walking in with absolute passion and adoration and unquestioning support for each other, and it's a bitter sweet experience for him, I think, that love that he had and lost, to see it and realized in front of him, in these young people. Veronica Delfino: Now, is it true that there is a scene where you do full frontal nudity with Carlisle Christopher Herdahl: Jamie Campbell Bower, he’s a very, very, very naughty boy. He had an interview at Comecon and he was asked, first asked a question about whether he took his shirt off, and told this great story how there's a nude scene, and he was asked, oh is there nudity? He said, oh yes, it's full frontal. Veronica Delfino: So you want to play it straight right now that rumors, you're not doing nudity? Christopher Herdahl: Of course we’re not doing nudity. That is very funny. Veronica Delfino: All the men in Twilight are heartthrob, so who’s your celebrity crush? Christopher Herdahl: Oh that would be Jamie, for sure, specially the nude scene. No, I knew where to look. Veronica Delfino: Now, that’s maybe the hardest question you ever had to answer, but team Jacob or team Edward? Christopher Herdahl: Where’s the team Volturi, so I'm going to be the one to start the little tags, everything that says team Volturi, the t-shirts, team Volturi, the paraphernalia the team V. Veronica Delfino: I'm Veronica, we could be each team V. Christopher Herdahl: I'm definitely team V. I was team V at first sight. Veronica Delfino: Well, it's great to have you, thank you very much. Christopher Herdahl: Oh you're welcome, it's been a pleasure. I got a crush on you now.
