Robert Pattinson landed a star-making role playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise. However, he almost wasn’t cast over concerns he wasn’t attractive enough for the part.
At the time, Robert had already established himself as an emerging talent in Hollywood with his portrayal of Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies. However, Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke recently revealed the shocking concerns about the actor’s appearance, which almost cost him the role.
Thankfully, the studio saw reason and agreed to cast Robert in the part. He played the lead, sparkling vampire in the blockbuster adaptations of author Stephenie Meyer‘s beloved novels.
Now that we’ve learned about the concerns, you might be interested in seeing who else was in the running to act alongside Kristen Stewart in the mega-popular saga.

It also includes Stephenie‘s first choice for Edward, who only learned that he was in the running years after the fact!
