It’s hard to imagine Edward Cullen of Twilight as anyone but Robert Pattinson.
But, as director Catherine Hardwicke revealed at the Twilight Lexicon in Phoenix, AZ, he was up against three other extremely attractive men for the role!
Hardwicke spilled “that the 4 finalists (who she called bachelor 1, 2, 3, 4) for the part of Edward Cullen were [Robert Pattinson,] Jackson Rathbone, Ben Barnes, and Shiloh Fernandez. She said to watch for Shiloh because she predicts that he’s going places.”
As we all know, Jackson did make it into the flick and as a member of the Cullen clan.
Which of these actors could you imagine as Edward Cullen, if any? Dish your thoughts below!
Wow Im glad rob was choosen instead
ben and shiloh are pretty hot, but i think ive gotta give it to rob on this one….and as for jackson, wtf?
ONLY ROB!!!!!! I mean that is a silly question!
And Jackson is great as Jasper!!
NO DUH!!!!!!!!!
[quote=ligiaryan]Ben Barnes he i s gorgeus!!![/quote]
NO!!!!! Ugh! Him+pale just doesn’t add up
Rob perfect “Edward Cullen” Only Rob…..
I really can’t imagine twilight sagas without robert.. he’s the perfect guy for it.
Robert pattinson was the right choiceee(Y)
hesss bereee sexiii
robert is perfect for me as edward.no 2nd choice lol!kristen has a perfect taste to choose rob as her edward..very good girl :)
ROBERT ofcourse.
should hv say it like b4 the movie. now that everyone seen the flawless face of rob nobody hv anymore hearts 4 the others
I find it funny that some people are saying that they couldn’t imagine anybody else as EC and that he’s perfect for the role when wasn’t there an online petition with more than 700,000 signatures to get somebody else to play EC.
ROB is the LOVE OF MY LIFE, but i think shiloh is very hot, he has this mix of rob patz and ed westwick that i fin amazing!
BEN BARNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM!!
He’s A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!
That would REALLY suck if Ben Barnes played Edward Cullen, becuase of all the girls now obssesing over the series Vampire Academy and well he’s the “perfect” actor for “dimitri Belikov”(becuase of his long brown hair and brown eyes), and that would be weird if he played Two different vampires in two different series (im not saying he IS going to play in Vampire academy he’s just perfect for the role :-D). Go Ben Barnes AKaA Dimitri Belikov!!!.
Tip: Search up Dimirti Belikov on google, Ben Barnes is everywhere.
