British actor Charlie Bewley who plays the vampire Demetri in the latest installment of the Mormporn series Twilight apparently spent a couple years hanging out in Whistler snowboarding according to an interview on Entertainment Weekly’s PopWatch blog.

I really did enjoy snowboarding. I played rugby most of my life and then I switched to snowboarding, which provided me a lot of inspiration. I think in some respects, spending time in the mountains was something that prompted me to stay away from England and take up a path less trodden.

So we guess we have snowboarding to blame.
