‘Illegal’ Kiss in ‘Twilight’ Makes Filmmakers Nervous

One of the most famous kisses on the silver screen that could get the male lead arrested is the kiss in the ‘Twilight’ movie series.

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

Director Catherine Hardwicke recalls the filming journey in 2007 and finds the experience of tension interesting. At that time, during the first audition held at director Catherine Hardwicke’s home, two young actors were invited into the 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. This information was recently shared by director Catherine Hardwicke in a recent interview.

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

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

Then, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were taken to the director’s bedroom to do the kissing scene: “They kissed so passionately that Robert fell to the floor, I had to say loudly: Guys, calm down. At that time, 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.

Before that, Kristen Stewart had been cast, we were looking for an actor to play her. I could immediately see that there was a lot of emotion between the two of them, I was a little worried because Kristen was only 17 at that time, 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, that this British guy needed to remember that in America, having sex with a minor is illegal. He listened and immediately reassured me”.

In fact, the audition also required the support of the author of the “Twilight” series of novels – female writer Stephenie Meyer (now 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 idea, because Cavill was 24 years old at that time and looked a bit “old” if playing the role of vampire Edward Cullen, who was portrayed in the work as a high school boy.
