Peter Facinelli on ‘Twilight: Eclipse’ training. Peter Facinelli plays the character of Dr. Carlisle Cullen in Summit Entertainment’s wildly popular and extremely successful “Twilight” franchise. Recently, he revealed some information regarding the intense training that took place behind-the-scenes of “Twilight Saga: Eclipse”. According to NY Magazine, Peter said he was extremely excited about the third installment and they had workout competitions on the set of the film.

He stated, “I’m really excited about Eclipse, we did a lot of training for that movie, like six weeks of fight traning. It was funny because it became almost like an in-house competition and everyone was always in the gym or working out. Sometimes we’d work out three times a day. Once time, I was in my apartment and I was going down to do my workout and the elevator doors opened and Kellan Lutz was in there doing push-ups. I was like, “Okay, Kellan, you win! You win the competition!”

Peter Facinelli spilled some details about Twilight Saga: Eclipse recently.  Facinelli gave Entertainment Tonight the scoop on Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the upcoming Eclipse movie.

We are going to see Dr. Carlisle Cullen in a new light when Eclipse rolls around. You get to see a side of Carlisle you haven’t seen before. There are some great battle sequences.

The fan base has been so phenomenal. When you go to an event, people have flown in from other countries just to take a picture with you. That is a loyal fan base that you can’t even imagine having. I am thankful for all of them. That is why I try to give back in connecting with them on Twitter.

Twilight star Peter Facinelli has described the fanbase behind the franchise as “phenomenal”.

The actor, who plays Dr Carlisle Cullen in the vampire saga, told ET Online that he enjoys “connecting” with fans through Twitter.

“The fanbase has been so phenomenal. When you go to an event, people have flown in from other countries just to take a picture with you,” he said.

“That is a loyal fanbase that you can’t even imagine having. I am thankful for all of them. That is why I try to give back in connecting with them.”

When asked if he has any information on the proposed fourth instalment Breaking Dawn, he replied: “I don’t know. Usually the fans know before I do.”

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is released in June and Facinelli can be seen in the second season of Nurse Jackie from March 22 on Showtime.

I have just seen on IMDB that Peter has a new project lined up called Loosies, not sure what his character is yet.

We’ve been waiting for soooo long to see Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart FINALLY make sweet, sweet love in the fourth and final Twilight film, Breaking Dawn, that it didn’t even occur to us that some people (re: parents) might not be so happy at the seductive content.

However, Peter Facinelli—who plays hot vampire patriarch Carlisle Cullen—has made us see the error of our ways.

“I have a 12-year-old daughter [Luca Bella, whose mom is Jennie Garth]. She’s a fan and I’d want her not to feel left out or awkward,” Peter, 37, explained to HollywoodLife.com exclusively Jan. 16 at Lionsgate’s pre-Golden Globes party.

“Hopefully it’s a PG-13 type of situation,” he added. “I’m sure the producers and directors know what they want—and especially what they are doing—but I’m sure they don’t want to alienate fans.”

We like how Peter sees both sides here: he doesn’t want to destroy his daughter’s innocence, yet he wants the flick to remain pure for die-hard fans. His primary loyalty is to his family though, after all—family always comes first to this #1 Dad.
