LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Kellan Lutz is surprised by the amount of attention focused on his pucker.
“It’s funny, I just heard [a rumor] that I’d been getting lip injections… collagen or something like that,” he joked with Access Hollywood at Monday night’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” premiere in Los Angeles.
The actor’s luscious lips are totally natural, but the chiseled star — who was named Sexiest Lips by People magazine in their new Sexiest Men Alive issue — revealed he was actually quite self-conscious about them as a young man.
“You want to hear something funny?” he asked Access’ Shaun Robinson on the red carpet. “I haven’t told anybody yet… I played the trombone growing up and my lips developed and I thought it was because I was playing the trombone.”
Kellan explained that when he was younger, he thought the buzzing sound a person makes to get the notes to come out of a brass instrument influenced his lip size.
“You have to use that buzzing, so I thought that’s what made me have big lips and I was very insecure about it,” he revealed. “I was like, ‘I have huge lips!’”
Nowadays, however, the actor, who plays vampire Emmett Cullen in the “Twilight Saga” franchise, said he’s thrilled with how his lips turned out.
“Now it’s turned into something good,” he laughed.
