Robert Pattinson is a British actor who gained greatest recognition thanks to the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as well as the film saga entitled “Twilight”, where he played the main role as Edward Cullen. Years after the premiere, interesting facts about the actors who appeared in the production are coming to light.
Robert Pattinson did not make a good impression at the casting. The producers weren’t convinced
At this point, it is difficult to imagine anyone other than Robert Pattinson playing the role of Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of the “Twilight” saga. However, it is often the case that many cult productions feature actors other than those initially wanted by the producers. It turns out that the film’s producers, who did not like his appearance, had doubts about hiring Pattinson. In the podcast, Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the “Twilight” saga, revealed some facts about the casting stage. The actor didn’t make the best impression then. On , he appeared in a stained shirt and was not in very good physical shape, due to the lifestyle he led at that time. – When he showed up at the casting, he had long black hair and was not in the best physical shape because he was always hanging out in the pub. However, it seemed to me that he fit (the role of Edward) as a person and would work well on screen – recalls the director years later.
Who else could we see as Edward Cullen? Pattinson wasn’t the first choice
Although Robert Pattinson was initially not an obvious choice for the vampire Edward in the movie “Twilight”, he ultimately beat out thousands of candidates for the role. When the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s books was announced, the author of the saga and fans of the novel played the role of Edward Cullen they saw Henry Cavill.
However, the director, Catherine Hardwicke, was against this vision, as she believed that the actor would not be credible in the role of a high school student due to his age. However, Hardwicke convinced the producers and the author of the books to entrust this role to Robert Pattinson. The decisive moment was the scene in which the actor played a kiss with Kristen Stewart. – They did a kissing scene and he fell off and landed on the floor. I said to him, ‘Man, calm down,’ and I was filming everything with my little video camera. Finally Kristen said, ‘It must be Rob.’ I saw that there was chemistry between them, the director said in the podcast.
