Jackson Rathbone admits that he can't believe his career luck as he has got to work with some of the biggest named directors in the business.

The actor has not one but two big movies out this summer as he returns to the role of Jasper Hale in Eclipse, the third film in the Twilight Saga franchise, which was directed by David Slade.

But he will also star alongside Dev Patel in M.Night Shyamalan's new movie The Last Airbender. And Rathbone admits that he is already looking forward to working with Bill Condon on Breaking Dawn

In an interview with MTV he said: "I have not yet had a chance to meet Bill Condon, but I think it's going to be an amazing experience to work with an Academy Award-winning director of his caliber.

"Getting to work with these incredible directors that I've admired, ever since filming "The Last Airbender" with M. Night, even the first "Twilight" with Catherine Hardwicke.

"I really loved her directorial debut, [which] I think was 'Thirteen.' I thought that was incredible, and she co-wrote it with Nikki Reed, who's a good friend of mine now."

"I find myself working with people I've dreamed of working with. It's an amazing position to be in.

"It's a privilege, not a right. ... I'm basking in it, loving it, because as an artist, you get those moments, you live 'em up."

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is released 9th July
The Last Airbender is released 13th August.
