Robert Pattinson Wasn't The First Pick For Edward Cullen, And I'm Amazed At Who Was


Speaking on The Graham Norton Show in 2019, Superman lead Henry Cavill claimed he was Twilight author Stephanie Meyer’s “first pick” for the franchise. 

“I got close to a bunch of stuff and didn’t get it,” he told the show’s host, who then asked the star: “Wasn’t Twilight written for you?”. 

“I wouldn’t go that far… but you can!” Henry laughed. “I think the writer of the books, when the movie came around, I think I was her first choice. I think… that’s the rumour I heard,” the actor said. 

“And she wanted me to play the role, but it wasn’t up to her. And instead, a very talented actor played it,” Henry continued.

IMdB seems to confirm the story, with a post on the site claiming that Stephanie Meyer wrote on her blog: “The most disappointing thing for me is losing my perfect Edward… Henry Cavill is now 24 years old. Let us have a moment of quiet in which to mourn…”

Robert Pattinson, who played 17-year-old (and centenarian – because vampire) Edward Cullen, was two years younger at the time.
