OK!'s Man Candy: New Moon's Alex Meraz

In the current issue of OK!, hunky New Moon werewolf Alex Meraz, opens up about his views on romance and art.

When it comes to finding that special someone, the 24-year-old married father advises, "Be open-minded and don't have a checklist of what you do and don't want. It happens when you least expect it."

In fact, Alex's first date with his wife Kim took place in "a cellar bar with a jazz singer, wine and gourmet pizza." These days, the couple's dates are just as down-to-earth, featuring "the couch, TV and popcorn."

When he is playing the role of a shirtless werewolf, Alex is pursuing his passion for painting.

"I hope to have a gallery opening next year," he said. "That's my New Year's resolution."
