Twilight Is 10 Years Old: Here's Where The Cast Are Now

The first Twlight movie came out ten years ago today! Can you believe it's been ten years since we were pledging our allegiances to #TeamEdward or #TeamJacob? But rather than sparkle and fade (get it?), the cast of the iconic vampire series have gone on to do all kinds of fangs (like, things? Sorry.) since. Here’s where the cast of the 2008 phenomenon are now...

Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) 

Our seventeen-year-old heroine and hero of the series, Kristen Stewart brought Bella Swan to the big screen for all of the Twilight movies, until Breaking Dawn Part 2 in 2012. Since then she’s gone from strength to strength, starring in critically-acclaimed films like Clouds of Sils Maria, Still Alive and Personal Shopper, bagging a ton of respected awards in the process. Kristen will return to the world of mega-blockbusters next year, starring in the reboot of Charlie’s Angels.

Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen)

In 2008 Rob set the world’s hearts aflame with his steely cold looks as the world’s oldest heartthrob, 108-year-old vampire Edward Cullen. Since then, Robert has gained critical acclaim for his roles in Maps To The Stars, The Rover and last year’s Good Time and The Lost City Of Z. He’s also used his superstardom for philanthropy, raising awareness for various charities across the globe. Next year, Rob will return to the big screen in dark fantasy horror The Lighthouse opposite Willem Dafoe.
