Rob's Competition

I am posting this article below because of a post of my own I published on July 20th. It's still there if anyone wants to check it out. It was called: "Edward Cullen: Who's Hotter?" In my article I included pics of two others, actually three in all who might have been considered to play Edward.

Little did I know, that one of my pics, actually the most serious one, was in actuality, as you will read below, one of the actors considered for the role.
Well I suppose it shouldn't have surprised me, but actually I was. Usually the ones that I see picked for certain movie rolls, I totally disagree with or vice-versa. Anyway here's the article.


Catherine Hardwicke Reveals Rob Pattinson's Competition

It's hard to imagine Edward Cullen of Twilight as anyone but Robert Pattinson.

But, as director Catherine Hardwicke revealed at the Twilight Lexicon in Phoenix, AZ, he was up against three other extremely attractive men for the role!

Hardwicke spilled "that the 4 finalists (who she called bachelor 1, 2, 3, 4) for the part of Edward Cullen were [Robert Pattinson,] Jackson Rathbone, Ben Barnes, and Shiloh Fernandez. She said to watch for Shiloh because she predicts that he’s going places."

As we all know, Jackson did make it into the flick and as a member of the Cullen clan.

Which of these actors could you imagine as Edward Cullen, if any?
