In a revelation to The New Yorker last year, Kristen Stewart shared that her audition kiss with Robert Pattinson during the casting process for “Twilight” marked the pivotal moment when she became certain that Pattinson was the ideal choice for the role of Edward Cullen in the vampire romance films. Catherine Hardwicke, the director of “Twilight,” recently appeared on “The Big Hit Show” podcast (via Insider) this month, reflecting on the audition that set the stage for a film franchise that would define a cultural era.

Hardwicke recounted the audition setting, noting that Rob and Kristen performed the audition on a bed. They enacted the kissing scene, and Pattinson, in the midst of the scene, unintentionally fell off the bed and landed on the floor. Recalling the moment, Hardwicke described Pattinson’s appearance when he walked in for the audition — his hair dyed black for another play, with unconventional bangs, and a somewhat disheveled shirt. Initially skeptical, she thought, “Oh, okay. Let’s see how this goes.”

According to Hardwicke, Pattinson “was so into” the kissing scene that “he fell off the bed.” The director added, “I’m like, ‘Dude, calm down.’ And I’m in there filming with my little video camera, whatever…In the end, Kristen was like, ‘It has to be Rob.’”
“I could tell they had a lot of chemistry, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ I thought, Kristen was 17. I don’t want to get in some illegal things,” Hardwicke added. “So I remember I told Rob, ‘By the way, Kristen is 17. In our country, it’s illegal to have a sexual…’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, okay, whatever.’”
Stewart said of the audition last year, “[Pattinson had an] intellectual approach that was combined with ‘I don’t give a fuck about this, but I’m going to make this sing.’ And I was, like, ‘Ugh, same.’ And, whatever, we were young and stupid and, not to say that we made it so much better, but that’s what it needed, and that’s what anybody playing those parts needed to feel.”
