The “Twilight” cult is 15 years old. Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first episode of the series, admitted in the Happy Sad Confused podcast that they did not want to see Robert Pattinson in the leading role.
The truth was that she didn’t like the way he looked. No, it’s not about her appearance, but rather her attitude towards herself. “When he came to me, he only had black bangs instead of hair and he wasn’t in the best shape because he spent all his time in bars,” she said. But the person he really surprised was the producers of Summit Entertainment. “That’s all, Rob. He actually showed up to the audition in a stained shirt,” the woman shares. But Katherine still managed to convince the studio producers: “See his cheekbones? We’ll do his hair, he’ll start training and he’ll be great.”
According to Hardwick, in the final stages of auditions, Ben Barnes (The Chronicles of Narnia, Dorian Gray), Shiloh Fernandez (Little Red Riding Hood) and Jackson Rathbone were also considered for the main vampire role. Meanwhile, Jackson still starred in Twilight, playing the role of Jasper.
It was previously known that perhaps one of the most important events in Robert’s life would soon occur. He will be a father for the first time! The other day, the actor’s girlfriend, Suki Waterhouse, confirmed pregnancy rumors that appeared in early autumn.
