I remember the first time I laid eyes on the "Twilight" movie poster. The first thing that I thought when I saw Robert Pattinson was "Hey! It's the guy who played Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies."

In 2008, British actor Robert Pattinson landed the coveted zrole of Edward Cullen, the leading man in the film "Twilight," which was based on the vampire series The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer.
The Twilight Saga is a love story between a handsome vampire and a clumsy and awkward human.

As soon as the movie was released, Pattinson became my generation's matinee idol. Admit it, we all wanted to get bitten.
