Taking a break from his busy schedule, Jamie Campbell Bowerstopped by the Teen Vogue offices to chat about doing his own stunts for Camelot, playing a sadistic Volturi in Breaking Dawn, and cleaning up his act for girlfriend (and Harry Potter star) Bonnie Wright.
We shot you for our Young Hollywood portfolio in 2007. What have you been up to since then?
I think when I did that shoot Sweeney Todd was just about to come out. I did a couple of small roles and an international movie—a Dutch film—followed by The Prisoner mini-series on AMC. Then I landed Twilight and Harry Potter. Now I’ve got Camelot.
So you haven’t been busy at all.
It’s been all work and no play for the last three years. I haven’t been able to take a holiday, but now I’m going to Indonesia then Bali, and ending up in Australia.
How was shooting Breaking Dawn?
It was great filming in Baton Rouge. I had actually broken my ankle working on Camelot, so I turned up on set with a boot on. They made me take it off and work without it. I’d have to put it on in-between takes. It was blood, sweat, and tears, but that’s the stuff you’re proud of.
What can fans expect from the fourth Twilight movie?
It’s a lot darker. It leans away from the tweeny and more towards the horror genre that had originally sprung from Stephenie’s mind. There are definitely some scary moments. The Volturi get to be so ridiculous. You get see how sadistic and messed up they really are. We have the best things to say—every time we went on set it was a laugh.
