It's no wonder that everybody -- straight women and gay men alike -- wants to sink their teeth into Twilight Saga hunk Kellan Lutz.
And the actor, 26, understands the inevitable gay rumors -- but he's got a novel explanation as to why in a new interview with The Advocate.

"I don't Google myself, but I've heard that people think I'm gay. I've heard it all," the handsome, famously buff star says.
"See, I don't really go after girls. Most of the girlfriends I've had have come after me. So it's really funny when girls get offended because I don't hit on them," explains Lutz, who has dated 90210's AnnaLynne McCord and Step It Up 3D actress Sharni Vinson.

"[Girls] will transform their insecurity into, 'Oh, that makes sense, because I heard you're into guys and have a boyfriend.'" he adds of women who assume he's gay. "I'm like, 'Seriously? That's your tactic to get me to like you?' There will always be rumors, but I know who I am."
Regardless, the hunk is as gay-friendly as can be -- and counts his gay male fans among his faves.

"Oh, they're the best. I love them," he gushes. "When I meet gay fans out and about, they're so great to talk to -- and I'm big on hugging, because I'm from the Midwest. They're just so energetic and loving. I'm proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me. I don't want just girls coming to my movies; I want guys to come too!"
Lutz also counts several gay men among his best pals -- and he says, "Honestly, I'd prefer to live with gay guys."

How come? "They're the cleanest, and they just take care of stuff. Because I'm always away, coming home to a clean house means a lot to me. Trust me, I've lived with a lot of roommates, and straight guys are just kids who don't pick up after themselves."

7Damn... had hopes he would be gay. Oh well, he still sounds nice and the fact he is straight and allows ppl to think he is gay without freaking out is as cool as can be.
Hmm, a little vain and cocky, no? "Most girls I've had come after me"...
Darwin: Kellan Lutz isn't Canadian... He was born in North Dakota.
he totally lookin hot, sexy, and handsome on the big screen and his real life to portraying as a straight canadian born hunk that's because he's hangin out with their gay fans and straight fans too. that's why he's interesting to attract a gay people to convince him.

Kellan...good thing I think you're smoking HOT and know how these mags love to take things out of context b/c this actually sounds a bit vain like you LOVE to have your ego stroked!
Wow. Sweet, not hard on the eyes AND he's not one of those nasty little homophobes? There's something you don't see every day, and that's downright depressing. More people should be like Kellan Lutz.
