Xavier Samuel ("Riley Biers" in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) claims that he did his homework with co-star Bryce Dallas Howard ("Victoria" in Eclipse) for at least one scene in the film.

Samuel, who was featured prominently in the final trailer for Eclipse, has been literally turning heads the world over, and he is featured in ELLE for his coming "heartthrob" status.

In his interview with the publication, Samuel revealed that the film's kissing scene between himself and Howard was one that they paid special attention to.

(You might remember that some photos from the set of filming for their kiss scene popped up online last fall.)

To ready themselves for that moment, Samuel revealed, the two "watched YouTube clips of the best kisses in cinematic history for research."

To prepare for the attention being a part of the Twilight Saga would bring him, Xavier Samuel is "tak[ing] a leaf from Rob and Kristen’s book," so one has to wonder if Samuel and Howard looked to some of the "Edward and Bella" kisses during their research.
