Do you remember Emmett Cullen, the vampire with the devastating smile in Twilight? Well, his interpreter Kellan Lutz was in Paris on September 7 to meet French fans during the Eternal Con 2 convention. Alongside Peter Facinelli (Carlisle) and Jackson Rathbone (Jasper), he dove back into the cult universe that marked an entire generation.
And the craziest part? Kellan agreed to revisit his filming memories, sharing audition anecdotes and insights about his co-stars. If you thought you knew everything about Twilight, hold on: you’re going to be surprised! 💜
🎥 The role of Emmett Cullen… that he might never have played!
Imagine for a moment: Kellan Lutz might never have been Emmett! Yes, you read that right. During the interview, he revealed that another actor had already been chosen for the role.
At the time, he was returning from an exhausting shoot away from his family and had decided to take it easy. But his team spoke to him about a little project… Twilight. Curious, Kellan first read the script for Edward, which he found too dark and “depressing.” The result? He put down the script without much conviction.
It was ultimately his manager who suggested he try for Emmett. And plot twist: even though an actor was favored, fans didn’t think he fit the character. Kellan then took his chance at the audition… and destiny did the rest.
💫 The decisive role of Ashley Greene (Alice)
But the story doesn’t stop there. Did you know that Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) played a key role in his casting?
Kellan explains that the director of Twilight showed Ashley two photos: his and that of the other actor being considered. Without hesitation, Ashley recognized Kellan and declared that he was THE perfect Emmett. Thanks to this boost, he ultimately landed the role that would change his career.
🌙 Nostalgia and bonding with fans
Throughout the convention, Kellan not only shared anecdotes: he also showcased a real bond with the audience. Laughter, smiles, filming memories… It was a moment full of nostalgia that reminded us why Twilight remains etched in our hearts.
And honestly, who else could have been Emmett than Kellan Lutz? It’s impossible to imagine the saga without him! 🖤
