Charlie Bewley Raises $20,000 In Run For Your Life
We’ve been telling you about Charlie Bewley running an ultra marathon to raise money to fight cancer. The Vancouver Sun covered the race that took place on Sunday:
“Actor Charlie Bewley, who raised $20,000 by running in the Bank of Montreal Vancouver marathon Sunday morning, had tears in his eyes as he crossed the finish line, a marathon spokeswoman said.
Deirdre Rowland said the funds raised by Bewley will go to the hospital that helped care for his friend Jocelyn Clarke, a local stunt double, who died of cancer in February.
The money raised by Bewley, who plays the vampire Demetri in the Twilight movie series, will go to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.
The marathon raises an estimated $40,000 a year for five different charities.”

Charlie Bewley Gears Up To Run For His Life On Sunday
We’ve been telling you about Charlie Bewley running an ultra marathon to raise money for cancer research in memory of a departed friend. The Vancouver Sun interviewed Charlie as he makes final preparations to run this Sunday.
“Of course, he could have chosen to run just the marathon or the half marathon but he has opted to do both, which will add up to 63.3 kilometres. It’s the farthest he has ever run. “It’s something I’m not quite sure of. It’s a very dark place.”
He is looking forward to the challenge.
If his friend Clarke could live full throttle to the very end without flinching, he can run headlong into the biggest challenge of his running career.
“The reason I decided to run a larger marathon is I just don’t think a marathon is that difficult. I would run it very, very easily, not as if my life depended on it. I preferred to do something I didn’t know I could do.”

Charlie Bewley and Bill Tangradi Talk Working with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
USA Weekend interviewed Bill Tangradi and Charlie Bewley at the Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Convention in Virginia. They talked about everything from meeting fans, to getting involved in a large franchise film, to Rob and Kristen:
“So there I was hanging out with some of the cast of Twilight. I had to ask what Pattinson was like in real life. And the guys ran with that one.
“He’s really dreamy,” Tangradi quips.
“He moonwalks on water on one foot,” Bewley jokes. “Can you imagine?”
Then they got serious.
“I found Rob to be really charming,” Tangradi says. “I didn’t have too many encounters with him because I left him alone. He was really self-deprecating and giggly. He laughs a lot under his breathe.”
“Unfortunately, he’s in this position where he has to entertain everyone around him all the time,” adds Bewley, who has gotten to work with him a lot longer. “He takes that burden on him and I’ve seen it kind of progress, from the first time I chatted with – him being like, ‘What is this thing around me? This is so ridiculous. I just want to go home and make music’ – to where he is now. He’s a stand-up guy and he’s completely comfortable in his surroundings wherever that might be.”
And where you have Rob, you have Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, Pattinson’s on-screen love interest — and reportedly off-screen as well.
“I’ve always found her kind of endearing,” Bewley says. “Her awkwardness is wonderful.”

DGTV also interviewed Charlie on the same topic.
On a personal level, how cool is it that Charlie ducked the opportunity to plug his first big film after Twilight (a film that went into a wild bidding war at Sundance) and just wanted to focus on the charity event. Serious kudos to Charlie!
The Province: Charlie Bewley Marathon Tribute
The Canadian site The Province is covering Charlie Bewley’s current Run For Your Life Project. Charlie wrapped his work on Breaking Dawn, and he is out there training every day.
“Twilight actor Charlie Bewley has traded in his fangs for running shoes.
The English actor, who plays the Volturi vampire Demetri in the Twilight Saga movies, is in town, busy training for the May 1 BMO Vancouver Marathon.
Bewley is running and raising money as a tribute to his late friend and colleague, stuntwoman Jocelyn Clarke, who passed away from lung cancer on Feb. 14 at the age of 36.
“She was a really brilliant girl,” said Bewley, who hopes his Run For Your Life campaign will be a lifelong endeavour.
“She is ingrained in my heart. I wanted to celebrate the life of this amazing person.”
While running a full marathon is certainly impressive, Bewley is picking up the pace, if you will, and actually adding another 21 kilometres to the 43-km marathon length, bringing his day’s run total to 64 km.
“For me, it’s an underlying message for anyone who feels they are stronger than what they are putting out right now,” said Bewley…”
