Anton Yelchin is Salvation Sexy

Anton Yelchin suits up for the premiere of his latest movie Terminator Salvation at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday (May 14).

In the film, the 20-year-old actor portrays Kyle Reese, a character who is both the father and protégé of future-savior-of-humanity John Connor (Christian Bale). Anton also plays Russian space cadet Pavel Chekov in Star Trek.

“It was very surreal, but at the same time, I’m very very lucky to be able to play these characters,” he says. “Aside from the fact that these are huge movies, the thing I love about this craft is that it’s challenging and fascinating in every way. These were challenges I loved taking on.”

When asked if he prefers playing Connor or Chekov, Anton says, “I don’t know. They’re very different. I’d love to be a gun-wielding bad-ass. I’d love to be sitting here with a shotgun right now.”
