Interviewed for the podcast “The Big Hit Show”, the director told some anecdotes related to the first film in the vampire saga, admitting that she had to invite the actor to calm down if he didn’t want to get into trouble, since the colleague was underage
The physical attraction between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart was so evident during their “Twilight” audition that director Catherine Hardwicke had to recommend that the actor calm down if he didn’t want to risk going to jail. In fact, at the time – it was 2007 – Stewart was only 17 years old, but under California law the age of consent is 18, so a sexual relationship between the two would have been illegal. «Rob and Kristen auditioned right in this bed – said Hardwicke in a new episode of the podcast“ The Big Hit Show ”, recorded in her house – and this is where they did the kissing scene. He was so into, he fell out of bed and ended up on the floor and I, who was filming everything with my little camera, said something like “hey boy, calm down”. There was really chemistry between them and I remember thinking ‘gosh, Kristen is 17, I don’t want them to do anything illegal,’ so I said to Ron, ‘by the way, Kristen is 17 and in our country it’s illegal to do anything. sex… ”and he replied like“ ok, ok, patience ”».
Little impressed with her appearance
In fact, the first time Pattinson showed up at the director’s house to audition, she was anything but favorably impressed with her appearance. “He had dyed his hair black for I don’t know what show and had that weird bangs – said Hardwicke -. He was also a bit out of shape and his shirt was all messed up and I said to myself “ok, let’s see how it goes” ». Kiss and fall out of bed aside, in the end it went just fine: Pattinson has in fact covered the role of Edward Cullen for the five films of the saga (“already after the audition, Kristen herself told me something like” it must be Rob “”), Much to the chagrin of the author of “Twilight”, Stephenie Meyer, who instead preferred Henry Cavill, who was considered too old (at the time he was 24) to play a 17-year-old immortal vampire. As for the two protagonists, in 2009, or a year after the release of the first film, Pattinson and Stewart began dating off the set and remained together until 2012.
