A Genuinely Good 'Twilight' Moment: Anytime Charlie Swan ...

 

 

 

1. Several cast members wore wigs while filming the franchise

Reed, Pattinson and Stewart were among the actors who wore wigs while filming the Twilight saga.

Reed, whose character Rosalie Cullen had blonde hair, dyed her natural locks for Twilight, but opted for a wig in the subsequent four films.

“My hair fell out,” she told MTV. “It took 36 hours initially to make me blonde, and every other day, I was bleaching my head and my skin.”

Meanwhile, Stewart wore a wig in Eclipse after cutting her hair to play Joan Jett in The Runaways (2010), she told MTV News. Pattinson had to don faux locks for Breaking Dawn — Part 2 reshoots after he shaved his head, he told fans during 2012 San Diego Comic-Con.

2. Kristen Stewart used a butt pad while filming ‘Twilight’

To avoid injury, Stewart used a butt pad when filming the scene in Twilight where Bella slips on a patch of ice outside of her home.

“I stuffed, like, a little pad in the back of my jeans [and that was it],” she told MTV in 2008. “It wasn’t hard to fall on my butt. I’ve done it before.”

3. Several cast members wore colored contact lenses

To fully transform into vampires, the cast of the Twilight saga had to wear colored contact lenses — and it was no walk in the park.

“They just kill you. [They give you] dead face,” Stewart told MTV. “The yellow ones sort of limit your vision even more.”

As a member of the Volturi, actor Michael Sheen, who played Aro, had to wear red lenses.

“[They] are like half the size of golf balls because they have to cover the entire eye,” he told Vulture in 2012. “Just to put them in, you have to do them in two parts: They lift the upper eyelid and put the first part in, then lift the bottom of my eyelid and put the other part in.”

Sheen continued, “It really is like torture. You lose a lot of your peripheral vision, and your eyes are constantly trying to focus, so it gives you a headache after a while.”

4. Robert Pattinson didn’t have a driver’s license before filming ‘Twilight’

Pattinson, who was born and raised in the U.K., didn’t have a driver’s license before filming Twilight — in which his character is often seen behind the wheel.

According to The Oregonian, the actor took a crash course in driving and obtained his license in the Beaver State.
