Alex Meraz might be best known as the chiseled werewolf Paul in the Twilight film series, but this multifaceted entertainer’s talents extend way beyond the silver screen.
If you look up the word “artist” in the dictionary, you’ll find “a person who practices one of the fine arts.” While each of us might take away something different from the words “fine arts,” one thing that remains clear is that an artist is someone with a creative soul, whether his or her fine art takes the form of music, painting, acting or any other medium of creation.
One look at Alex Meraz and you’ll immediately recognize him as Paul, the hot-tempered werewolf in the global phenomenon The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Eclipse. But there’s more to Meraz than his amazingly beefed up body, handsome good looks and piercingly beautiful eyes that have put Twilight fans in a frenzy. As it turns out, this newbie actor is an “artist” in a few different ways.
Most recently, he’s taken up acting and is fiercely pursuing his goal to establish himself as a credible actor in Hollywood. But he’s also a contemporary dancer, breakdancer, martial artist and, first and foremost, a visual artist. Art has and always will be an enduring passion for the 25-year-old from Mesa, Arizona. While his interest in art has its roots in his adolescence, it was his older brother who encouraged Meraz to continue working on his art once he saw how talented his younger brother was.
“My first drawing was of Snoopy that I showed to my older brother,” he recollects. “[He] immediately recognized that something was there and kept pushing me to draw. From there, I’d always draw him things to get his approval to see if he liked it or not. It was sort of that older brother approval that nudged me on more.”
