“I don’t have any facial hair, so it will be a while before I play the gruff leading man,” Xavier has said. “Maybe one Tag I’ll get to play my actual age. For now my baby face has condemned me to play the teenager.”
According to THR, Xavier, 25, will play newborn vampire Riley, a good-looking college student who joins the plot of villain Victoria to murder protagonist Bella (Kristen Stewart). Riley is corrupted Von Victoria, for whom he has an inexplicable weakness.
