It’s been a while since we last heard from Robert Pattinson. The actor, who rose to fame for his portrayal of vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, took some time off after wrapping up production on the final Twilight film, Ecloserie. Since then, he’s mostly remained in the shadows. Aside from a few public appearances in support of his latest projects, Survived (2016) and Where the Wild Things Are (2017), Pattinson hasn’t been seen in theaters. But he hasn’t been idle. The English actor, now 34, has kept busy developing, producing, and acting in both European and American films. Here, we’ve collected some of the most recent photos of Robert Pattinson. We’ll update this post as more photos come in.
Photos Of An Edward Cullen Impersonator
While fans of the Twilight films awaited the release of the final installment of the series last year, Cullen impersonators took the internet by storm. The craze began when YouTube user LennyWaxx uploaded a clip of himself performing as Edward Cullen. The clip started to gain popularity, and soon after, other users began recording themselves dressed as the famous vampire. The trend quickly took off, and now there are videos of Edward Cullen impersonators from all over the world.
Some of the more famous impersonators include LennyWaxx, who became the first-ever channel to reach 1 million subscribers, and Bobo Bokhari, whose videos have amassed more than 200,000 views. The craze even made its way to China, where fans have started a hashtag praising the Twilight films, ‘\#天使和渲染很像西尼尔（北京）’, or ‘\#TianMengRenHeiXiEr’, or ‘\#TheVampireAndTheWitch’.
Behind The Scenes Of ‘Twilight’
With the release of the final Twilight film last year, many fans hoped that this would be the end of the line for the franchise. But then, in February 2019, it was announced that there will be a stage adaptation of Twilight. The news that Twilight would continue after all was made met with glee from fans. An all-female cast will take the stage this fall in Chicago as the city that the series is set in, New Moon. And just recently, it was announced that the musical will expand to London this year. With a cast made up of some of the most prominent female singers in the UK, it’s clear that this adaptation of Twilight is going to be a lot more than just a one-off event. It’s clear that Stephenie Meyer, the mind behind the Twilight series, still has a firm hold on the hearts of both her fans and the entertainment world at large.
More Than A Decade Of Experience
While many may know Edward Cullen as the vampire protagonist of the Twilight franchise and its subsequent adaptations, it’s actually been more than a decade since the English actor portrayed the character in the 2005 film, New Moon. Since then, he’s mostly been working in film and television. Since 2016, he’s appeared in the Netflix series, The House of Gucci, and American Horror Story: Apocalypse — or for short, AHS:Apoc.
In 2018, it was announced that Pattinson would be starring in the upcoming drama film, The Last of the Mohicans, alongside Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman. The film is based on James Fenimore Cooper’s 1826 novel, The Last of the Mohicans. While many may know Cooper’s work from reading a book report in school, this is likely to be Pattinson’s first experience starring in a major motion picture. Kidman plays the role of Cora, the Native American wife of Chingachgook, the last remaining chief of the tribe. The two lead a group of survivors, including an English colonel, in the American Revolutionary War. The Last of the Mohicans will premiere in theaters this fall.
For fans of the Twilight series, it’s been a long time since we’ve heard from Robert Pattinson. But just because we haven’t heard from the actor in a while, it doesn’t mean he’s disappeared off the face of the planet. Instead, it seems that Stephenie Meyer’s former collaborator has been quietly working on developing and producing films while also taking on acting roles. While Stephenie Meyer is no longer attached to the Twilight franchise, it seems that her creation, Edward Cullen, has found a new life for himself in the 21st century. And it’s been quite the ride. While many may not have heard from him in years, it’s clear that Robert Pattinson hasn’t lost a step in the 17 years since his last turn as a vampire. He may have mellowed with age, but his acting talent has not faded one bit. It seems that young and old alike are discovering this truth as Edward Cullen continues to evolve with the times. In the end, maybe it’s not a bad thing that the Twilight saga is entering its second act. Maybe seeing how far the franchise has come in the 21st century will provide some comfort to fans who’ve been waiting so long for the next installment. So while we wait for Stephenie Meyer to return to her literary roots and pen a new novel in the coming years, we can at least take joy in the fact that Edward Cullen has finally found a place for himself in the 21st century.
