Taking the lead role in “I Am Number Four”, Alex Pettyfer finds himself doing a lot of action stunts. When asked about his stunt moves, the actor portraying John Smith in the action adventure movie shares with Access Hollywood his pick for the most complicated, but fun stunt he has to do.

“I think the most complicated and most fun was probably the back flip off the waterfall,” says the 20-year-old. “There was a point – it was the last take and D.J. was at the monitor, very calm, very relaxing energy and he said I need you to get closer to the waterfall, I need your head to be closer because it’s a close up of your head, of your face. And I said, ‘OK, I’ll go close.’ … And I nearly hit my head!”

On how he expects the movie turns out to be, Alex admits, “I hope we have the success [like] ‘Twilight’. We’ll take the success of ‘Twilight,’ but we have not made a ‘Twilight’ movie.” He explains further, “I mean, there’s this compelling story of romance in ‘I Am Number Four,’ which drives John to what he does, but he’s a reluctant hero. It’s about a boy turning into a man, turning into a warrior [and] having to follow his destiny.”

“I Am Number 4″ follows John Smith, a teen fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him. Always being the new kid with no ties to his past, he moves from town to town with his guardian Henri. Yet, once he enters Ohio, he encounters an unexpected life-changing events, including first love, powerful new abilities and a connection to the others who share his incredible destiny.

Director D.J. Caruso described this, which will open wide in U.S. theaters on February 18, as “an action adventure movie with a sci-fi twinge”. Joining Alex in the cast are “Glee” beauty Dianna Agron, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” Teresa Palmer actress and “Hitman” star Timothy Olyphant.
