Edward Cullen In Real Life

I've noticed that quite a few people are landing on this lens in search of a shirt with Edward's face on it. I've found the place to go! Just visit the Official Twilight Movie Shop at Cafepress! Hope that helps! Edward Cullen is Bella Swan's love interest in the Twilight book saga and in the new Twilight saga movies. He is attractive, romantic and over 90 years old.

Poor Robert Pattinson, the living, breathing incarnation of the fictional heartthrob of every teen girl (and their mother) on this planet–Edward Cullen. The romantic, sexy vampire had girls swooning on the page long before it was even a thought in their heads that they might catch of glimpse of Edward in the flesh.

Apparently, Pattinson’s movie portrayal of Edward Cullen has been so real to Twilight fans that his life as Robert Pattinson is becoming difficult, writes Brooks Barnes, in the New York Times article “His Cross to Bear: Heartthrob Vampire,” about Pattinson’s special kind of celebrity. And it only gets worse for him during the days leading up to one of the movies’ releases, as it is the case now, with the June 30th premiere of ‘Eclipse’ just around the corner.

“Despite the best efforts of Summit Entertainment’s publicity team, which has a third “Twilight” movie to promote, it took more than a month to corral the heartthrob star of the franchise for an interview. . . Mr. Pattinson was not particularly eager to chat for the quadrillionth time about Edward Cullen, the tenderhearted vampire he will reprise on June 30 in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” Mr. Pattinson seemed to have a bit of “Twilight” burnout.”

The experience has apparently been hard on Pattinson.

I thought it was all love. What do you think? Should Twilight fans just leave Pattinson alone? Should they get a grip and remind themselves that the real Edward is just a fantasy on the page and now the screen? Do we need a little separation between fiction and reality here, people? I think so.
