Remember when the first Twilight movie was released, and the vampire saga actors instantly
became demi-gods in the eyes of their army of fans?
Twelve years on, we still get excited to see familiar faces whenever they appear on-screen
on in the news. We also mourn their losses and personal challenges with them. These extraordinary
people soldiered through pain, fails and wins over the years.
So if you are dying to know where Twilight cast is in the year of 2020, we at RumourJuice
have got you covered!
Kristen Stewart In 2020, Kristen Stewart is the happiest person
on Earth dating her girlfriend, screenwriter Dylan Meyer. She even went to tell host Howard
Stern that she couldn’t wait to propose to Dylan!
And sometimes, Kristen’s beloved allows a rare glimpse into their picture-perfect
romance. Greeting the actress on her 30th birthday on Instagram, Dylan called Kristen
her favourite person who lights [her life] on fire. Or that time when Dylan posted a
snap of them kissing and wrote they were hiding under the covers from the happiness police.
Aww. Stewart was already a successful young actress
when she secured the role of Bella Swan. Nothing could prepare her for the Twilight saga level
of fame, though. From just a successful young actress, she went on to become a mega-popular
highly-recognized and highly sought-after A-lister.
Stewart’s post-Twilight acting credits are quite intriguing. She’s been in both indie
films, and big-budget ones, like Charlie's Angels.
Her post-Twilight personal life took some sharp turns, too. She and co-star Robert Pattinson
became a couple and looked perfectly happy together in their vampire days. But in 2012,
Stewart (then 22) was caught getting cozy with her Snow White and the Huntsman director,
Rupert Sanders (then 41). Both she and Sanders issued public apologies to their respective
then-partners, expressing deep regret for their lapse in judgement. Sadly, the light
of Stewart’s relationship with Pattinson was distinguished. Years on, however, Stewart
fondly remembers the time they spent together, calling Pattison her first love.
The two moved on with other people, eventually, and Stewart has had time to discover herself
and come out as bisexual.
Robert Pattinson “When I read [Twilight], it was like a book
that wasn’t supposed to be published,” Robert Pattinson once famously said. “[Edward]
is one of those guys who would be an axe-murderer.” Openly hating his own character in Twilight
isn’t the weirdest thing Pattinson has done. From taking up unconventional roles, to admitting
that his life sucks, this guy has made a name for himself as one of the weirdest figures
in Hollywood. That’s why, when Pattinson was announced as the next Batman incarnation,
the reactions were mixed. In the current pandemic lockdown situation,
the actor says he lost his sense of time. He is self-isolating in a London flat with
his girlfriend, and... … Huh? Yes, we did say “girlfriend”.
It is notoriously hard to obtain any information on Robert Pattinson’s personal life from,
well, Pattinson himself. But thanks to the actor’s recent interview with GQ, we now
know for sure that he is dating supermodel Suki Waterhouse. Moreover, various news outlets
have spotted the couple doing various couple-y things in London. The two were first linked
about two years ago when E! News caught the two kissing after a theater outing.
Prior to dating Waterhouse, Pattinson used to be engaged to singer FKA Twigs.
Aren’t we forgetting a certain someone? Oh, right. Kristen Stewart. The two ended
their relationship years ago. And yet, in most cases, when one is mentioned in whatever
context, the other’s name is bound to appear as well.
Rob, who has just turned 34, seems to have made peace with all of his ex-ladies. In 2019,
The Sunday Times asked him if he was on good terms with his exes, to which the actor responded
with a “yes”. If Robert Pattinson, one of the most interesting
actors working in the industry, is happy, then we are happy too!
Taylor Lautner In the late 2000s, Taylor Lautner turned into
a teen idol and sex symbol thanks to his portrayal of werewolf
Jacob Black on Twilight. In 2010, he ranked high on Glamour's The 50 Sexiest Men list,
and People's Most Amazing Bodies list. Oh, and he was also named the highest-paid teenage
actor in Hollywood. Ten years on… we don’t hear his name nearly
as often. Maybe that could be explained by a string of not-so-successful movies he’s
been in, and his filmography isn't as extended and varied as Pattinson's or Stewart's.
His more notable TV roles include a part in Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens and the UK series,
Cuckoo. By the way, while he was on Scream Queens,
Lautner met and fell in love with co-star Billie Lourd, the daughter of the late Carrie
Fisher. He supported his then-girlfriend when she was grieving the loss of her mother and
grandmother in a heartbreakingly short span of time.
Currently, Lautner is dating Taylor Dome, a nurse from California.
At 28, this guy surely has a chance at making it big in Hollywood. Still, the thing that
matters most to him is to be around the people he loves.
“it doesn’t matter what I’m doing as long as I’m with my friends and my family.
You know, I could be sitting in a cardboard box and that’s where I’m happiest,”
Taylor said.
Anna Kendrick In 2018, Twilight marked its 10th anniversary
- obviously, the topic was trending on social media. All this commotion reminded Kendrick
that she used to be part of the franchise. “Holy shit. I just remembered I was in Twilight,”
she tweeted to her numerous followers. We don’t know for sure if she was telling the
truth or joking, since Kendrick is kind of famous for her cheeky one-liners.
It’s true that Kendrick’s part was relatively small in Twilight - she played Bella Swan's
kind-of-jealous classmate. But it’s also true that she is one of the most well-known
Twilight actors today. She’s showcased her acting chops in many successful movies and
starred in another franchise, Pitch Perfect. She is a singer, voice actress, producer and
author. Plus, she is hilarious. When a Twitter follower suggested that TMZ
had obtained her sex tape, Anna responded with relief: "God, finally. I have been submitting
it to them for months." Kendrick is in a long-term relationship with
her boyfriend Ben who also works in the movie industry. The couple are highly secretive
about their relationship and seldomly appear together in public. Which is understandable:
you want your happiness bubble to stay intact for as long as possible.
Peter Facinelli Dr. Carlisle, the Cullen family patriarch,
started his career on TV and seems to have returned to his TV roots post-Twilight, mixing
in a film or two from time to time. He’s tried his hand at directing, too.
Facinelli has been a stable presence in Hollywood; his personal life, however, is a bit more
complicated than the steady climb of his career. Facinelli and his first wife, actress Jennie
Garth, are parents to three daughters. When Peter and Jennie separated, he moved on with
fellow actress Jaimie Alexander. But this relationship wasn’t meant to be. Currently,
the 46-year-old actor is engaged to his 30-year-old girlfriend Lily Anne Harrison. He proposed
when they were enjoying their romantic getaway in Mexico. What makes the news even sweeter
is the fact that his daughters were there to share the magic moment.
Ashley Greene Twilight’s Alice Cullen is Greene’ best-known
movie role to date. This doesn’t mean she’s been out of a job in Hollywood. And, in an
interesting twist, she’s done quite a bit of voiceover work for a couple of Batman games.
Which could be a nice companion piece for Robert Pattinson’s The Batman when it finally
comes out. She is still close with many of her Twilight
co-stars, including Pattinson. Greene even invited her adoptive on-screen brother to
her wedding. She and voiceover artist Paul Khoury have
been married since July 2018. The couple realized early on they were meant
to be with each other. But Ashley had this specific rule: “I'm like, you can't propose
to me unless we've been together for two years". They stood the test of time and are now enjoying
their marriage.
Kellan Lutz Another Cullen family member is now best known
for his roles in action films like The Expendables 3 and The Legend of Hercules.
In real life, Kellan Lutz is an attentive and caring husband to TV host Brittany Gonzales.
In 2017, the couple learned they were expecting their first child… Sadly, Brittany lost
the baby six months into her pregnancy. The couple supported each other through the heartbreak,
and let faith lead them onwards. “We are so grateful [our daughter] is in heaven, and
we remind ourselves that she didn't have to come into this world and deal with heartbreak,
and she gets to be with Jesus. It's bittersweet,” Lutz opened up.
After a season of mourning, the spouses are ready to start trying for a family again.
Nikki Reed When the world was collectively obsessed with
Twilight, there were rumours that Rosalie Cullen fought with Bella Swan over the attention
of Edward Cullen. That is, that actresses Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart clashed over
Rob Pattinson. Indeed, Reed ended up married to a vampire - but was never interested in
Pattinson. Her heart belongs to Ian Somerhalder who played one of the leads in The Vampire
Diaries TV series. The actors are parents to a precious baby
girl. There was this huge scandal when, in their pre-baby days, the couple talked about
starting a family… and Ian told the infamous story about throwing away Reed’s birth control
pills. So significant was the subsequent backlash that the star couple realized their mistake
and took to social media to issue an explanation. No worries, both Ian and Nikki agreed on having
kids, so no one was forcing Nikki into pregnancy. Still, a great lesson for us to watch our
words.
