Lucas Till: Battle Los Angeles 'Scared Me a Little Bit'

Lucas Till leans back against a stucco wall in this new spread from the March 2011 issue of DaMan magazine.
The 20-year-old merging action star talks to the mag about being into brunettes, becoming a super hero and his character in Battle: Los Angeles. Check it:
On landing the role of Corporal Grayston: “I did a pre-reading for an audition and I got a call-back. All of us were reading for one specific character and then they would divide us off afterward depending on what character we fit the most. I got the call back and met the director, Jonathan Liebesman and I remember after doing a scene for him I was panting heavily and getting a little lightheaded and I said, ‘well that was intense.’ He said, ‘well get ready for six months of that,’ or something like that. It scared me a little bit, but then I ended up getting a different role.”
On finally playing a superhero: “I just did X-Men. I’ve always dreamed of being a superhero and I actually got to play one. I’m pretty much finished. I play Alex Summers whose mutant name is Havok and has the ability to absorb cosmic energy and shoot plasma beams. He is the brother of Scott Summers, or Cyclops, which everyone would know even if you’re not a comic book fan from the previous movies.”
On being a brunette type of guy: “Intelligence is important for me, but it doesn’t hurt if she looks really good. It’s really just more like a case-by-case basis. I might like her and I can’t really figure out why, I just do. But, I like brunettes, that’s for sure.”

 

 

 

 

 

Lucas Till: The Next Action Star

Lucas Till shows off part of his daily workout in the February 2011 issue of VMAN magazine.

The 20-year-old star opened up to the mag about bulking up for his upcoming roles in Battle: Los Angeles and X-Men: First Class. He shared, “The day after I arrived on location to shoot Battle: Los Angeles, I started a three-week boot camp. The first week consisted of getting my body physically and mentally ready for everything the marines would be doing in the weeks to come.”

Lucas added, “For X-Men: First Class, my routine is a lot different. Portraying Alex Summers, I want to look as athletic as his character is in the comics. My trainer, Ed Chow, is one of the nicest people on the face of the earth, which is deceiving, because he is damn good at what he does.”

Check out the full feature in “The Thrill of the Game Issue”, out on stands February 10th.
