Kellan Visits Family

"Twilight" star makes a surprise stop here

Kellan Lutz at Casey's

When Joellen Nissen, pictured, left for work last Thursday morning, little did she know she would be meeting a movie star while checking at the Ogden Casey's General Store.
      "I often chit chat with the customers here at the counter," said Nissen, and when I asked this older couple what brought them to Ogden, I was told they had picked up their grandson at the airport. He was visiting for a few days at their home in Pocahontas." The grandmother couldn't hold back and burst with, "He's a movie star!" She pointed down the aisle. Kellan Lutz, co-star of the popular Twilight Saga movie series "Eclipse" walked to the counter and was introduced. Nissen described him as very polite, nice and sort of quiet." She omitted the word "sexy" which many would used to describe the 25-year-old actor who was recently featured in People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive Issue." Proud grandma went to her car and returned with a copy of the magazine, exercising her "grandparental" right to brag.

      Lutz graciously accommodated Nissen's request for an autograph then visited with some of the locals, revealing that they are currently working on another movie. And when asked about the special contacts he wears for his character, he said, "They are a pain in the butt! Lutz plays Emmett Cullen in the Twilight movie based on a vampire-themed romance novel.
