Robert Pattinson was the only person who managed to get under Edward's skin at the Twilight auditions.
We are really glad the Rob was cast alongside Kristen Stewart as it was their chemistry onscreen that made Twilight such a success.
If someone else had played Edward then there probably wouldn't have been a New Moon or Eclipse movie for us to look forward to.
Rob states on the official Twilight DVD: "When I did the audition what people said about why my audition was apparently good was because it was a lot more pained so I kind of built on the fact that he was extremely tortured."
The New Moon screenwriter added: "It's really important that he's constantly fighting this thirst for her blood and it's just an internal struggle that's going on constantly."
Stephenie Meyer agrees that Rob is the perfect Edward.
She said: "A lot of guys are pretty but they're not dangerous and other guys are dangerous but they're not pretty enough and when they started talking about Rob I was like, okay, he really seems like he can really be able to do that, he's got both sides."
