Xavier Samuel may be best known as Riley in Eclipse, but the Australian actor takes on a new challenge with a part in this month’s period piece, Anonymous. The movie explores the mystery behind Shakespeare and happens to costar one of Xavier’s Twilight saga cohorts, Jamie Campbell Bower.
During our talk, Xavier told a funny story about a case of mistaken identity involving him, his little brother, and Jamie, and also weighed in on what he’s looking forward to seeing on screen in Breaking Dawn. He even admitted to playing one of the female characters in A Midsummer’s Night Dream during his college days. Check out our interview to hear Xavier’s story, and be sure to catch Anonymous when it hits theaters on Oct. 28!

Joining young Lerman on the list isXavier Samuel, a 27-year-old Aussie who shot to the top of the Hollywood hot list when he had a primary role in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” He also stars in Roland Emmerich’s Shakespeare thriller “Anonymous,” which is set for release this fall.
A self-described nomad, when asked how he defines success, Samuel takes the Bob Dylan approach.
“I think success has something to do with living life your own way,” the Aussie actor told VMAN. Bob Dylan said: ‘A man is a success if he wakes up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.’ That sounds about right.”
But there are a few extra things–aside from complete freedom–that make being deemed a young successful heartthrob worthwhile for Samuel.

With a swag of movie roles already under his belt including ‘September’, ‘Newcastle’, ‘The Loved Ones’, ‘Twilight: Eclipse’, ‘A Few Best Men’ and the hotly contested title of Hollywood’s newest ‘it’ boy, it’s hard to believe it’s only been three years since Xavier Samuel first got one of his big breaks appearing in the 2008 winning OPTUS ONE80PROJECT flick, ‘Dream Life’.
Now, fresh off the set of Australia’s first ever big budget 3D action flick ‘Bait’, Xavier once again returns to the Optus ONE80PROJECT as a celebrity guest to announce the Public Vote Award.We sit down the Adelaide born thesp to talk shooting mechanical sharks, what makes a good drama and how he gets his kicks…
MTV: Hey Xavier, welcome back! You’ve been involved with the Optus ONE80PROJECT for a few years now, first acting in the winning entry ‘Dream Life’ and then as a judge – what keeps drawing you back to the project!?
Xavier: I first got involved with the project through 2008’s ‘Dream Life’; it was this really cool insight into the underbelly of the north shore in this dark territory. It was so unique and original and fun, and I really started becoming aware of this project which is just an awesome initiative. There are so many talented filmmakers and this gives them an opportunity to have their talent recognized and gives them that springboard. There’s so few of those opportunities, especially in Australia, and I’m really happy to be here hanging out with these talented people.
MTV: What do you think are the ingredients of a successful TV drama?
Xavier: It’s so hard isn’t it, because you’re bound by nothing. I was at Tropfest a while ago andDavid Ngo, who won an award for his animation and gave a speech, and he said that any time he’s followed his heart and he’s done something that he really loved he’s been rewarded, and so I think that’s a good way to go in, thinking, if I get kicks out of this it’s probably the right thing. So it’s about following your instinct and going hey I like it, I have faith that other people will and that’s a good starting point. • Read full story…

GQ’s Man of Style Xavier Samuel was surprised to learn we’d anointed him the most dapper chap in the land. “I’m not really a fashion enthusiast. I just wear stuff I like and feel comfortable in,” was the 26-year-old actor’s initial reaction. But, when pressed, Samuel demonstrated impressive sartorial smarts, reeling off a list of cutting-edge clothing shops he “wanders into” in Paris, New York and Sydney.
He then went on to sing the praises of Hudson shoes, All Saints jackets, Incu T-shirts, Nudie jeans, and Herringbone shirts. After that he generously shared his favourite piece of fashion advice: “Someone once told me I should never wear a black T-shirt because everyone that was cool – Paul Newman, Marlon Brando – wore a white one. The only person who ever wore a black T-shirt was Patrick Swayze. The person telling me this said, ‘So it’s your call – do you want to be Newman, or do you want to be Swayze?’”
GQ: So what’s life been like post Twilight?
XS: It’s been kind of cool actually, I’ve been hanging around in Berlin. I skipped off and did a film over there.
GQ: Was that Anonymous?
XS: Yeah. And I’ve spent a bit more time in LA and New York as well. So I’ve just been kind of enjoying it. We’ve skipped off to all these cities for the publicity for the film.
GQ: Were you caught up in the Twilight madness to the same extent as the main actors have been?
XS: Well, I certainly was not under the microscope in the same fashion that a lot of those guys were. I played the villain of the film, and they’ve been involved two films prior to that, so I kind of entered at a point when it was already severely popular. So it’s all been a bit of a whirlwind really, but a good one.
GQ: Does your girlfriend buy you clothes in the hope that you’ll wear them?
XS: Yeah, sometimes. She’s got a quite good fashion sense. • Read full story…
