When she first started acting in the series, actress Kristen Stewart was only 17 years old, meaning she was not yet an adult. She acted alongside 21-year-old actor Robert Pattinson in the movie series “Twilight”.

Director Catherine Hardwicke recalled the filming journey in 2007 and found it interesting at the stressful experience at that time. At that time, during the first audition taking place at director Catherine Hardwicke’s private home, two young actors were invited into the female director’s bedroom to perform a “hot” scene.

It was actually just a kiss, but the two actors did it so… passionately and passionately that Robert Pattinson even fell to the floor of the room. This information was just shared by director Catherine Hardwicke in a recent interview.

At that time, the filmmakers were quite worried because actress Kristen Stewart was not yet of age and the filming process required the actress to perform some hot scenes.

Recalling the audition at that time, female director Catherine Hardwicke (now 66 years old) said that actor Robert Pattinson originally had blond hair, but he appeared with black hair because he had just had to dye his hair to participate in a movie. drama. At that time, Pattinson was a bit overweight and dressed quite sloppily.

After that, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were brought into the female director’s bedroom to film the kiss scene: “They kissed so passionately that Robert fell to the floor of the room, I had to say loudly: Guys, calm down. Meanwhile, I was recording the audition scene with my mini camera. Finally, actress Kristen Stewart emphasized to me that she could only act well with Robert.

Previously, Kristen Stewart was given the role, we are looking for an actor to pair with her. I could see right away that there were a lot of emotions between the two of them. I was a little worried because Kristen was only 17 years old at the time, and I didn’t want to get into trouble with the law.

So I had to meet Robert privately and emphasize to him that Kristen was only 17 years old, that this British boy needed to remember that in America, it is illegal to have sex with someone under the age of majority. France. He listened and reassured me immediately.”

In fact, the audition also requires the support of the author of the “Twilight” novel series – female writer Stephenie Meyer (currently 48 years old). Ms. Meyer was initially very opposed to giving the role to Pattinson.

The female writer once wanted to give the male lead role to actor Henry Cavill, but the filmmakers did not agree with this wish, because Cavill was 24 years old at that time and looked a bit “too old” to play the role of a vampire. Edward Cullen was originally engraved in the work as a male high school student.
