I know that this picture is selling homoeroticism, but let me tell you why the four dudes above, Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier, have gotta have it tough on the set of the Twilight sequel New Moon, where they play the “Wolf Pack.” Who, obviously, are werewolves.

1) They are all of Native American descent, which means we probably killed off all their ancestors.

2) They are joining the cast and Taylor Lautner, 17, who played secret werewolf Jacob Black in Twilight.

3) Casting had to be humiliating.

4) They are filming in Vancouver right now, which means these shirtless dudes are running around outside for hours on end, probably in the middle of the freezing night, flexing their abs and acting like crazy people.

5) Yeah, they all look good, but since Robert Pattinson is like the new sliced-bread, they’re just “set dressing” for the tweens coming to the big-muscle-man show.

Either way, these guys have it tough. This is our first look at them via USA Today.
