Bold Bella and fat Jacob: how the actors from “Twilight” have changed over 12 years

In 2008, the world of cinema was conquered by the movie “Twilight”, which made the vampire theme popular for years to come. The main characters of the movie became famous all over the world, and the images of Edward, Bella and Jacob became practically a cult. Every second teenager wanted to be like one of them. It’s been almost 12 years since then. What has become of the Twilight stars now?

Bella: bisexual punk Kristen Stewart

California girl Kristen came to “Twilight” already an established actress, although not widely known. Nevertheless, by the age of 18, when filming of the saga began, she managed to work in at least 10 pictures. Stewart collaborated with the legendary director David Fincher, and many Hollywood stars even then noted that this girl will get a push.

“Twilight”, of course, was a big breakthrough, and the role of Bella – a ticket to a luxurious life. By the way, the same role claimed Jennifer Lawrence, but Kristen easily surpassed the competitor. After “Twilight” Stewart continued to act in good movies, and recently tried herself and in the role of director.

But the girl in recent years known not so much success in the movie, as scandalous details of personal life. First she was caught in an affair with married director Rupert Sanders, and in 2016 Kristen officially announced that she was bisexual. She managed to have an affair with designer Alisha Cargile, French actress Soko and model Stella Maxwell.

The girl looks slim and trim, however, Kristen is not a fan of a healthy lifestyle. She admits that make her go on a diet can only a new role – then the actress refuses her favorite pies and goes to low-calorie protein products. Nevertheless, Stewart often prepares smoothies from parsley, cabbage, flax seeds and apples – such a drink is especially useful for hair and skin.

With sports Kristen has a great relationship. She has always felt like a “kid”, so she likes to skateboard, play soccer and basketball. She is also a fan of push-ups. In good shape, the actress can do 40 push-ups at a time.

Edward: Robbert Pattinson refuses to give up sports

Edward and Bella’s romantic history has affected the actors’ personal relationship. The couple began dating back in 2009, and confirmed this fact only in 2012. Then they also broke up when it became known about Kristen’s affair with the director. Robert was left with a broken heart and almost two years was not known anything about his personal life.

But in the career of Pattinson everything worked out very great. In 2017, he got into independent cinema, starring in the film “Good Time” with brothers Ben and Josh Safdie. Robert purely by chance came across their past film, got interested and got a role that the American press unanimously recognized as the best in his career.

Curiously, even for the new role of Batman, Pattinson does not exhaust himself with training. He believes that the problem is his colleagues, who are too keen on their physical form.

Jacob: overweight Taylor Lautner

The image of Jacob was one of the key characters in the vampire saga. Taylor was only 16 years old when he got that very role in Twilight. Lautner then was a skinny guy, so for the sake of the role he had to go to the gym and build up muscles with the help of special nutrition. So the famous werewolf gained 15 kilograms of muscle mass. Unfortunately, after “Twilight” the career of the actor went down. The last picture with his participation came out in the already distant 2016.

Problems began and with weight, the paparazzi regularly photographed the guy on the beach in a frankly bad shape. And detractors laughed when he couldn’t resist surfing in the doldrums. A relationship with country music star Taylor Swift also went nowhere. But Lautner doesn’t despair. He plays golf with friends and lives an ordinary, non-stellar life.

Jessica: superstar Anna Kendrick.

If Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s careers were just successful, Anna Kendrick became a real world superstar. Her role as Bella’s friend in “Twilight” launched a rapid upward movement. She received nominations at the awards “Oscar” and “Golden Globe”.

Kendrick from childhood was distinguished by the ability to sing, so she also starred in musicals. The picture called “The Perfect Voice” became a cult in America and before the appearance of “La La Land” was considered almost the best in its genre. Anna is one of the most sought-after stars on American TV at the moment.

True, with a healthy lifestyle in the artist does not add up. A few years ago, having been on the show Ellen DeGeneres, Kendrick admitted that she tried to stick to a healthy lifestyle to be in shape for thirty years. A balanced diet had a positive effect on her appearance, but Anna apparently didn’t want to push herself to the limit and called the diet “the worst thing ever.”

Charlie: Billy Burke is on the force.

Billy played Bella Swan’s father in Twilight. He was already an adult actor at that time, so to repeat the breakthrough of younger colleagues Burke was not able to. On the other hand, certain advances he still happened. He starred for three years in the excellent series “Menagerie”, which tells about the animals who rebelled against man. It sounds strange, but the plot is really interesting.

After “Twilight” Burke almost left the full-length pictures and continued to star mainly in TV series. And most of them were about fighting crime, and his roles were often associated with the images of police officers and sheriffs.

About the current way of life of Billy nothing is heard, so that we can judge about the changes, only relying on fresh photos. Well, for 12 years, the actor clearly looked older. Most likely, the new hairstyle and stubble on his face also had a hand in it.

Carlyle: eternal youth Peter Facinelli

Around the role of Edward Cullen’s father there was a lot of controversy. Painfully young looked hero Peter Facinelli. He and Robert Pattinson are more like brothers than father and son. But their characters were vampires and could look any way they wanted, so the filmmakers fended off attempts at criticism.

Facinelli before “Twilight” starred in successful films and TV series, so his image is not associated exclusively with the famous saga. Now Peter mainly continues his career in serial projects, among which was a role in the show “Supergirl”, and spends time with his family. By the way, he has three daughters!

Peter and currently looks quite young. He does not sit still, travels a lot, but sports is not particularly fond of. Yes, and on the pictures in “Instagram” can afford a huge plate of ice cream with syrup and berries. It seems that Facinelli is just lucky with genetics!
