Michael Copon interview!

Captain Douchebag has an interesting interview...can I just say that I don't like his look and lately his personality has rubbed me the wrong way! basically his bitch-assness levels are extremely high and he needs to lower them. I read this and was just like ick I don't like him. sorry I'm not even going to try to be biased, not giving him a chance nor is he ever going to grow on me I have made up my mind lol!wrong I know, but fuck it lol I don't like him and I may be jumping the gun but whatever I have made up my mind! he read the Cliffs Notes for the other books!...umm Taylor has read the books and is pretty dedicated to the movie, but he wants to like trash my Jacob...and Michael is no competition for Robert at all....Ugh that kind of Douchebaggary is only remotely acceptable if you're like an A-List Celeb! and even then it's annoying!

Will he or won't he be the next Jacob Black in the Twilight sequel, New Moon? J-14 snags an exclusive interview with Michael Copon to get the scoop on whether he'll be taking over for Taylor Lautner.

J-14: Everyone's putting you up against Taylor Lautner - why do you think you should be Jacob?
Michael: I have nothing against Taylor personally. I think he's great and tremendous at what he does. But it's just adjusting to the fact that Jacob has to grow. It's a matter of going with the storyline. It goes with the territory. I see so much in Jacob Black that I feel like wasn't brought to the first film that if I had the opportunity, I would totally create an amazing character. He's more than just a guy who walks around and smiles and likes Bella. It's just too one-sided. It's two colors and I feel like Jacob is full of a hundred colors.

J-14: What else would you bring to this film?
Michael: Of course, I would be honored and ecstatic to play the role if Summit chose me because I think with the experience I got from Scorpion King 2, I Iearned how to carry a film from start to finish. Plus, it was a very similar role - Heroic warrior who had passion for someone. It's a similar story in a different realm with werewolves. I would be fun to play this dark yet romantic story. And people are starting to take into consideration that I look exactly like Taylor. If you look at some pictures of us, you will be confused. Not to mention the other day, I ran into someone who knows both of us and said, "Hi Taylor." I was like, "No, I'm Michael."

J-14: Taylor's been bulking up to try to get the role. Have you been preparing in any way?
Michael: If anything, I feel like I need to bulk down. Right now I'm close to 200 pounds of muscle. Taylor's probably what, 140, if he's lucky? I'm already 200 pounds, so there's no need for me to get any bigger. Plus he's 5'6" and I'm 6'2". In the book, he grows eight inches and I'm exactly eight inches taller than Taylor. Huge difference.

J-14: Jacob is an American Indian character and Taylor has some American Indian blood in him, what is your background?
Michael: Growing up on the East Coast, I have some American Indian on my mom's side. Virginia is where Last of the Mohicans took place. All the people out there have Indian blood mixed in from years and years ago. If you look at my mom, she's super tan with blonde hair.

J-14: Is what we're reading in the blogs an accurate account of what is going on behind the scenes of you getting this role?
Michael: There's no auditioning going on, it's a lot of talking. My representation has been talking to Summit and they're hearing that I'm one of the first picks. I got offered CSI: Miami recently without auditioning, so a lot of great things are coming without auditions. But I wouldn't mind going in and showing them what I've got. At the same time, it would be really great if they saw my work and trusted me. It would make me feel like they look at me more as a team player.

J-14: How familiar are you with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books?
Michael: I've read the first one and I've dabbled through the Cliffs Notes of the second and third ones. I haven't had time to actually sit down and read the whole book, but I kind of know what happens.

J-14: If you get this role, people will no doubt compare you to Rob Pattinson. Are you ready for Team Mike verses Team Rob?
Michael: (Laughs) I've seen Rob out here and there and we've hung out and had great conversations. Funny enough, before I knew who he was, I said, "I'd be excited to play a part in Twilight 2" and he said, "Oh yeah, I'm in the first one." I was like, "Who do you play?" He's like, "Edward." I felt so bad! But if there is Team Mike verses Team Rob, I think it's only for the better of the film. Friendly competition!

another bit that bothered me about this interview is

What A Douche! if he plays Jake I will defnitely say NO Thank You to New Moon!

lmao Captain Douchebag! Thats hilarious.. I DON'T LIKE THIS BITCH! TEAM TAYLOR!

Er.......I don't think there are Cliff Notes for Twilight.

Yeah I don't think there are.. I think he is full of shit.. SHIT!

Copon is SO ARROGANT!!!! He says he can bring a lot to the character and that he didnt feel Taylor did more than smile and like Bella but....He has only read the first book and cliff notes of the others! He doesnt know anything about Twilight. He didnt even know Rob was Edward and yet people are supposed to believe this guy is the right Jacob? Looks wise yet it would make sense because of his size and height but everything else is so not there i hope the director and Summit can see that....plus he is ridiculously cocky what a punk!

I don't like him.. I didn't like him on One Tree Hill and I don't like him now. Fuckin asshole! Excuse my french

I can't wait!

I hate to say it....especially with all you Team Jacob people but I thought Jacob was cocky in the books so.....maybe this guy is the perfect Jacob

OoOo I agree with you.

Hey I agree that this dude is full of himself and hasnt even read the books but somehow thinks he is the right person for the part I just think he does have Jacob's cockiness down for sure and Copon doesnt suck as an actor Im sure his douchiness as we are calling it will be toned down. I bet it would be weird if he did get the part because of the close ties Taylor has with the cast.....talk about awkward.

Kellan can beat him into the ground! YAY!

Now that would be funny!

He could just bop him on the head like they do in cartoons lol

I'd love to see him do something like that. He's sooooooooo Hot!
