Peter Facinelli Reveals What He Whispered in Robert Pattinson’s Ear When Carlisle Bites Edward in “Twilight”: ‘He Smiled’

Peter Facinelli Reveals Heartwarming Moment with Robert Pattinson in ‘Twilight’

In a heartwarming revelation, Peter Facinelli, known for his role as Carlisle Cullen in the iconic ‘Twilight’ series, shared a charming behind-the-scenes story from the filming of the vampire franchise. The much-loved cast reunited at MegaCon in Orlando, over a decade after the release of the final film in the series, ‘Breaking Dawn — Part 2’ in 2012, with the first film premiering back in 2008.

During the reunion, Facinelli, along with fellow cast members Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, and Jackson Rathbone, reminisced about their time on set and the impact of the series on their lives. One particularly light-hearted moment that Facinelli recalled was a scene where Carlisle bites Edward, played by Robert Pattinson, turning him into a vampire. Facinelli shared that during filming, he whispered in Pattinson’s ear, saying, “Rob, you’re so handsome,” which prompted Pattinson to smile, resulting in the take making it into the final cut of the movie.

Despite Robert Pattinson’s absence at the reunion, the cast fondly remembered their time working with him on set. Jackson Rathbone humorously remarked that Pattinson was known for getting lost on set, jokingly claiming that even if he had a tattoo saying ‘I’m lost,’ Pattinson would still manage to get lost. Rathbone also shared a moment of star-struck awe when meeting Ron Howard at the event, reminiscing about how he had a stutter when they crossed paths.

The ‘Twilight’ franchise, led by Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, has continued to resonate with fans over the years, with the cast reuniting multiple times to celebrate the series’ enduring legacy. At Epic Con Chicago in 2024, the Cullens, along with other key cast members, gathered for a nostalgic group photo, showcasing their continued bond with each other and the fans of the beloved vampire romance.

Reflecting on the enduring popularity of the franchise, Kellan Lutz expressed his gratitude for the impact ‘Twilight’ has had on fans, recounting a touching moment where he met a child named Emmett after his character in the series. Lutz acknowledged the collective growth and shared experiences that the movies provided for both the cast and fans, emphasising the lasting connections forged through their shared love of the saga.

As the ‘Twilight’ cast continues to reunite and reflect on their time filming the series, the enduring impact of the vampire romance on popular culture remains evident. Fans around the world still hold a special place in their hearts for the Cullen family and the magical world created by Stephenie Meyer. The bond shared by the cast members, both on and off-screen, serves as a testament to the lasting legacy of a cinematic phenomenon that has captured the imaginations of millions.
