Kiowa Gordon, who will soon be famous for his role as wolf pack member Embry Call in the Twilight sequel New Moon, just made his first public appearance since being cast in this fantastic role. He admitted to having fake abs in the movie and described his amazing wolf transformation to Indian Country Today.

“Within a couple of weeks word came he landed the part of Embry Call. “My mom got an e-mail. She was ecstatic.” After speaking to the director on the phone, he was off to Los Angeles for a “cyberscan.” It’s a technique used in many movies to create real-life animation. “A machine went around my body to create a computer image so I could be transformed into a werewolf.”

“We spend an hour in makeup (basically) getting darker and they enhanced our abs,” laughs Gordon. “It was really cold, one degree Celsius. We wore robes before our shoots. All our scenes were outdoors. We had to get in the rain.”
