Sure, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner (deservedly) get the bulk of "Twilight" fans' adoration (including mine), but I also find something so appealing about costar Michael Welch's unassuming charm. Which is why, when I randomly stumbled upon a Web ad yesterday for "Aczone High Starring Twilight's Michael Welch," I just had to click.
As it turns out, Michael is featured in a "High School Musical"-like series of ads for the acne cream, and he couldn't be cuter. With slicked back hair and an even slicker gray suit, the 22-year-old shimmies, shakes and sings (well, most probably lip synchs) in front of a cast of dancing cheerleaders, rebels, jocks and nerds. If "Twilight" ever becomes a musical, this guy would dance circles around uncoordinated RPattz. Just sayin'.
And if you're wondering what Bella's lovesick friend was really like in school, Michael also sat down for a short interview to talk about his time at a private Hollywood high school, where he says he didn't stand out and was known simply as "White Mike." He even dished about being in love with a girl who was in love with someone else (sound familiar?). His parting advice for high schoolers everywhere? "Quiet confidence is the way to go." Aw shucks, what a swell guy.
Are you a fan of Michael Welch? What do you think about his dancing skills in "Aczone: The Musical"?
