Kellan Lutz talks losing his virginity

Olivia Barker, USA TODAY
  • "It wasn't one of those drunk moments at a party," the Twilight actor says.
Kellan Lutz attends the Nov. 15 after party for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" in New York.

He may play a vampire on screen, but in real life, Kellan Lutz sounds like a lamb.

His first time "wasn't one of those drunk moments at a party." He goes to church every Sunday. He attends Bible study with his friends. He showered his sixth-grade crush with dollar-store gifts.

The 27-year-old Twilight hard body reveals his softer side in an interview in December's Elle.

Losing his virginity? "It was high school — with the love of my life, at the time. ... Everything was just really caring and done out of love. It was one of those really sweet, loving, connected moments."

His religious righteousness? "I've always been a believer." (Katy Perry's parents, take note.)

His early attempts at wooing a girl named Kelsey? "I read in some magazine that girls love gifts. I'd get a couple pieces of candy, a rose. I loved being Romeo to her Juliet. Then I got her this 'gold' necklace from the dollar store. How was I supposed to know there's fake gold? She found out I'd gotten it at the dollar store — and she got mad at me. And I was trying to do the most romantic thing I'd ever done!"

Aw.
