You won’t believe who was supposed to play Edward in Twilight: everyone thought the author of the books was crazy!

“Edward Cullen is hot” – remember that song? Despite the fact that the movie “Twilight” is hated by many, in fact, the vampire saga has many fans around the world, where every other person was ready to take Bella’s place and become Edward’s most loyal friend. It turns out that Robert Pattinson did his job perfectly.

However, few people know that Robert was not even on the list of contenders for the main role. The author of vampire novels, Stephenie Meyer, wanted to see Henry Cavill in the film adaptation of her works. Yes, that Superman.

“The only actor I think could come close to playing Edward Cullen is Henry Cavill,” wrote Stephanie. Handsome, muscular and charismatic – we agree. Everything would be fine, only at the time of filming Henry was already 24 years old and he would have to play a schoolboy!

Of course, it would look comical on screen, so the creators considered actors not older than 21 and rejected Cavill’s candidacy. Despite all of Stephanie’s persuasion. The writer tried to attach Cavill to another role – for example, she suggested that he play Carlisle, but that didn’t work out either.

Fun fact. Pattinson has already taken over the role from Cavill. In 2005, Henry auditioned for the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but the role went to Robert.

As for Edward, there were names like Tom Sturridge and Logan Lerman as a backup plan. But even these nominations were rejected. Eventually, Robert Pattinson was cast in the role, and then the stars aligned.
