The Alex Meraz fansite called The Meraz Effect had a chance to interview Alex’s wife (sorry ladies, but he’s very taken) about what their life is like.

“Kim is the lucky wife to the multitalented Alex Meraz, but those who are avid Alex-supporters, know that Kim is a strong and admirable person in her own right. During Alex and Kim’s first Australian convention, I had the chance to talk profession, family, marriage, Twilight and of course, Alex, with Kim.

During my interview with Kim, it became obvious that she is the back bone to Alex’s life, working behind-the-scenes in corporate finance, as well as giving truly dedicated wifely support. Kim laughs when I quote that behind every great man, is a great woman, “I love that saying,” she says as I explain how relevant that is for Alex and herself.

As professional as the couple are, Kim explains that they must balance the dynamics of work and private life. The couple rarely have a large break from Alex’s now-busy schedule, which makes them appreciate and utilize the precious time they get to spend together as a family. Together, with their 2 year old son, Somak, the Meraz family prefer a quiet time at home to doing anything else. Kim describes the treasured time they get to spend together bathing Somak and reading him a bedtime story.  Kim chuckles and tells me that when Alex is around, he becomes the apple of Somak’s eye, and that she quickly turns into little more than chop liver.”

Alex Meraz is in Peru filming City of Gardens. Some fans caught up with him and asked if he could sing Happy Birthday. Check out the video, it’s really sweet.

Over the weekend Alex Meraz was part of the annual Myrtle Beach festival. He and other stars, like Catherine Bell of JAG and Army Wives fame, were on hand to do autographs and to greet beach goers. Alex talked to a local TV crew.

Alex Meraz was in Australia as part of the Supernova Convention. The brand new fansite, The Meraz Effect, has a rundown of Alex’s Q & A on both days that he appeared. Here’s a tidbit from day 1:

~Alex believes he walks a fine line when it comes to representing Native Americans. He says you have to be careful how you represent them.

~Julia got sick of the wolfboys continuously goofing around on set – which helped her look convincing as Leah on screen.

~His brother’s comic books were part of his inspiration for his artwork.

~If the wolfpack were superheroes, Kiowa would be the villain and his power would be height, Bronson’s power would be the ability to laugh, Chaske would have the power to fly, and Alex would have the power of speed.

~FOUR TO THE FLOOR and ON THE RUN not going to be seen anytime soon. FOUR TO THE FLOOR is being edited. ON THE RUN producers haven’t gotten back to him since casting.

~In New Moon when Paul says sorry – that was all Alex! He thought it would be weird if he just walked into Emily’s place and didn’t say anything or acknowledge Bella right after trying to attack her. Kristen backed Alex up and he got to say his line. Plus, this was his favorite scene.

Alex also Tweeted a photo of himself holding a Koala saying, “Koalas are like holding a sleepy old man!! I got in trouble for trying sneak him into my backpack :(.”  He’s luckier than Charlie Bewley and Tinsel Korey who also held koalas when they were in Australia a few months back. They were not dry after their experiences. Maybe the koala like Alex better? 🙂
