Logan Lerman and Alexandra Daddario step out in style at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal Studios on Sunday (June 6).
The duo were there to find out if Logan, 18 and Jake Abel won best fight. Unfortunately, they didn’t.
Logan shared with MTV prior to the awards that Percy should win that category. He shared, “That was about a month of filming just to do that one sequence. We learned so much. We had to learn how to fly, be in wires and make it look good. Go down rooftops while having to swing at invisible lightning bolts being shot at you. It was a pretty crazy experience and I was completely blown away when I saw it onscreen. I’m so glad it got nominated — and pray that it wins!”
Psst! Stay tuned to JJJ for a Percy Jackson giveaway soon!

Logan Lerman joins the ranks of many in admitting his crush on the lovely Rachel McAdams.
The 18-year-old Percy Jackson star shared, “My dream girl is Rachel McAdams. I saw her in a restaurant once and it was the first time I’ve actually frozen up around a girl. I couldn’t even look in the direction of where she was sitting! I’m a huge fan of hers.”

Logan Lerman may be still reeling from the fact that Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief on Monday.
The 18-year-old actor caught up with Blackbook magazine to chat about the film, the constant comparison to Harry Potter and his future studies at NYU. Check it:
On wanting to take classes at NYU: “Yes, I did [apply]. [I’d love to study] creative writing. My real passion is filmmaking. I want to be a filmmaker one day and be involved in writing and directing.”
On Harry versus Percy: “I think a lot of people are saying that mainly because Chris Columbus’ name is attached to both films and we are selling it as: ‘from the director of Harry Potter.’ However, they’re different movies. Do we want it to be as successful and as loved the Harry Potter films? Of course, but they’re pretty different stories. This movie is transferring Greek mythology into the modern day. It’s paralleling classic myths and introducing a new demi-god into the modern day world.”
On the script being his Bible: “I read the book right after I read the script. The first thing that really attracted me to being a part of this film was seeing Chris Columbus’ name right on the title page of the script. I read the script and loved it. Then, I read the book. It was a really backward process. For him, his motive the whole time is to get his mom back. Save the world above anything, but get his mom back. I don’t think Percy felt any pressure [from his father, Poseidon].”

Just one more day until you can see Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, and Brandon T. Jackson on the big screen as Percy, Annabeth and Grover in the much-anticipated Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
The new trio recently chatted with CinemaBlend and sounded off on reading the book before the script and how it really was working with Uma Thurman and Pierce Brosnan. Check it:
Alexandra on working in front of a green screen for most of the time: “It’s a little like being a kid again. You get to use your imagination. You can imagine the monster as big and scary as you want it to be. It’s a lot of fun. It’s really amazing to see what you imagined brought to screen.”
Logan on working big name actors like Pierce, Uma and Kevin McKidd: “I’ve always put it this way; acting for me is like a kid walking into a playground and, you know, these great actors like Pierce and Uma and these people that are so seasoned and so talented, they have a huge playground. And going into a scene there’s so much to explore with them because they have many places to go. So it’s just a lot of fun to see your heroes and work with them.”
Brandon on reading the book and then developing his character of Grover: “I have two little sisters who are obsessed with ‘Percy Jackson’ and I told them that I’m just auditioning for Grover and they went totally crazy and that’s when I read the book. I’m going through the book and going through the book and just trying to hurry up and learn it and I feel in love with it. Then I read the script; I feel in love with the script too. So it was like the way I developed the character. And Chris [Columbus] did a great job with helping me develop Grover because in the book he’s real timid and he’s real kind of nervous and I wanted to play him a little cooler. A little bit more swag, as we say.”
