Kellan Lutz

In past, Kellan Lutz has dated actresses Kayla Ewell and AnnaLynne McCord and model Brittany Ward. In 2016, he met TV host Brittany Gonzales. After a year of dating, Lutz confirmed their engagement during an appearance on Steve Harvey’s talk show. The episode aired on October 3, 2017. A devout Christian, he currently resides in Los Angeles.

As an active member of the community, Lutz is involved with ‘Saving Innocence’ charity, which focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating child victims of sexual abuse in America. GQ recognized his exemplary work for the organization by naming him the “Gentleman of the Year” in 2014. Having been an active member since 2011, he donates money to them on his birthdays as well runs various fundraisers.

Lutz has been associated with the animal charity PETA for years. He starred in one of their campaigns promoting the adoption of animals rather than purchasing them. He has also lent support to Ape Action Africa, a primate conservation effort working in West Africa.

Born on March 15, 1985, in Dickinson, North Dakota, Kellan Lutz is one of the seven sons of Karla (née Theesfeld) and Bradley Lutz. His six brothers are Brandon, Tanner, David, Daniel, Brad, and Chris. He also has a sister, Brittany. Having grown up in such a large family, Lutz had a bustling childhood. They moved around a lot and he spent the early years of his life in North Dakota, the Midwest, and Arizona.

After graduating from Horizon High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, he relocated to California and enrolled at the Chapman University to study chemical engineering.

He considered joining the navy seals for a while. But eventually, he dropped out of college so he could become a professional actor. He realized even back then that he was taking a huge risk but he had enough confidence in his own abilities and that helped him muster up the courage to take such a step.

By the time he left high school, Kellan Lutz was already an established model. It eventually led to his recurring appearances on PAX TV’s ‘Model Citizens’. His self-belief and determination led him to start off his career as an actor in 2004 in an episode of CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’.

He followed this up by playing a small role in ‘CSY: NY’. In 2005, he was cast in the recurring role of Chris MacNess in Lisa Kudrow’s comedy-drama ‘The Comeback’. In the same year, he guest-starred in HBO’s black comedy ‘Six Feet Under’ and The WB’s drama series ‘Summerland’.

His big screen debut came about in 2006 with the film ‘Stick It’. He also starred in Steve Pink’s directorial venture ‘Accepted’ that year. In 2007, he did the direct-to-video movie ‘Ghosts of Goldfield’ and appeared in two highly popular television shows: ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’ and ‘Heroes’.

In the seven-part TV miniseries ‘Generation Kill’ (2008), he portrayed Corporal Jason Lilley. The series was nominated for 11 Primetime Emmy Awards in 2009, winning three. Lutz became part of the cast of The CW’s teen drama ‘90210’ in 2008.

Over the next few years, he got the chance to portray a variety of characters. He played a young man marooned on an uncharted island in ‘After Dusk They Come’ (2009); a teenager suffering from extreme sleep deprivation in ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’(2010); a star Lacrosse player in ‘A Warrior’s Heart’; one half of a newlywed couple in ‘Love, Wedding, Marriage’ (2011); and a fireman and paramedic in ‘Arena’ (2011).

The immensely successful 2008 release ‘Twilight’ not only served as the breakout film for Kellan Lutz, but also it did the same for Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and various other members of the cast. Lutz’s Emmett Cullen is a tall, muscular, intimidating vampire who, despite his imposing appearance, has a rather likeable personality. He reprised the role in all of three sequels of the film, which earned $3.43 billion in aggregate at the box office.
