More than a decade has passed since Kristen Stewart (K Jr.) and Robert Pattinson played Bella Swann and Edward Cullen in the Twilight Series, setting off a pop culture storm. Since then, the pair, who were once on and off screen, have begun a new relationship.
However, for the millions of fans of Twilight, we still associate the pair with the characters in the show all the time. Even after all these years, they've taken on many big roles, like Kristen Stewart's Spencer and Robert Pattinson's Batman. According to the actress, the key selling point of these films is the strong chemistry between the co-stars, which is sparked during the audition process. But years later, when she talked about her audition, she felt reckless at first.
Before Robert Pattinson became Edward Cullen, Kristen Stewart had already established the role of Bella Swann. She and Twilight director Catherine Hardwick searched for the perfect Edward. The audition process was torturous, with Kristen Stewart and Hardwick auditioning several actors before finding Robert Pattinson. It's about some sort of chemistry between him and Stewart, which started even before the cameras started.
While promoting Spencer, Kristen Stewart gave an interview to The New Yorker. To this, she said: "It's obvious who's working. I really just, like how to say it, Robert Pattinson is very wise, and he also said, 'I don't care about this, but I'm going to sing this song out.' I said, 'Ah, the same.' Anyway, we were young and stupid, and I'm not saying we made Twilight better, but that's what it needs, and that's what all the people who play these characters need to feel. ”
It seems that the actress was fascinated by Robert Pattinson as soon as she met him. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson seem to share similar personalities and lifestyles. Considering that both are rising stars and "young and stupid" in their respective careers, this makes sense. The chemistry between them brought the work of Stephanie Meier to fans of the Twilight series.
The synergy between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson proved to be powerful, and the first Twilight movie to invade pop culture grossed $407 million at the box office. The film's success spawned four sequels that grossed $3 billion worldwide. Of course, the success of this series has also affected their real lives. Although Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart broke up after dating for a while, they have supported each other and celebrated each other's successes over the years.
The Twilight Series will forever follow in the footsteps of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, but it is this film that has made many of their current successes. Kristen Stewart's schedule is packed, including the critically acclaimed Spencer. Pattinson is expected to make a splash as the Dark Knight in Batman, directed by Matt Reeves. Maybe one day they'll be able to work together again?
