What unforgettable memories were made on the set of "Twilight"? While fans remain captivated by the epic love story of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, a recent reunion of the film's cast at MegaCon 2025 has shed light on some amusing behind-the-scenes moments that continue to resonate with fans over a decade later.
At the event in Orlando, celebrated "Twilight" stars including Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, and Jackson Rathbone took a stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about their time on the iconic film series. Among the most talked-about moments was a revelation from Peter Facinelli, who portrayed the beloved character Carlisle Cullen, regarding a poignant scene in which he bites Robert Pattinson's character, Edward Cullen, transforming him into a vampire.
During the cast panel, Facinelli disclosed a lighthearted secret about filming this iconic neck-biting scene. He shared, "The first time I went in for the bite, I whispered in Rob’s ear, ‘I’m sorry.’ I felt like Carlisle didn’t really ask for permission — you should always ask for permission. But on the second take, I leaned in and said, ‘Rob, you’re so handsome.’ And that’s the take that made it into the movie!" This playful moment not only showcases the camaraderie among the cast but also highlights the delightful banter that took place on set.
Despite Pattinson's absence at MegaCon, his fellow cast members reflected on their experiences with him, playfully teasing that he was the most likely to get lost on set. Rathbone quipped, "I could have a tattoo saying 'I'm lost,' and Rob would still be more likely to get lost." This friendly jibe about Pattinson's direction skills adds to the charm of their shared experiences and demonstrates the warmth of their relationships, both on and off-screen.
The "Twilight" saga, which began with the release of the first film in 2008 and concluded with its last installment in 2012, continues to maintain a robust cultural presence. The actors expressed their joy at the enduring legacy of the franchise, noting how fans still cherish the characters, with some even naming their children after them. Kellan Lutz shared his excitement upon meeting fans who have chosen to name their kids after his character, Emmett, emphasizing the impact the series has made over the years.
As the cast reflected on their time filming, they also discussed how the "Twilight" series has aged gracefully, continuing to resonate with audiences new and old. The reunion not only served as a celebration of the films but as an opportunity to explore their lasting influence on pop culture. Fans remain enchanted by the world created by Stephenie Meyer, and the nostalgia associated with the series only grows stronger with time.
Whether it’s through humorous anecdotes or heartfelt reflections, events like MegaCon remind us of the bonds formed during the filming of "Twilight" and the shared joy of the fans who have supported the series throughout the years. It’s a testament to how a simple story of love can bring together an entire community, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
As the cast continues to share stories and memories from their time in the franchise, one can only wonder what other hidden gems from the set will come to light. Until then, fans can keep reliving the magic of "Twilight" and the unforgettable performances that launched several careers into the spotlight, including the ever-charismatic Robert Pattinson.
