The ultimate in dark passion - we check out the sexy Twilight men, and give you a little insight into the men behind the characters...
 Robert Pattinson - Edward Cullen
Romantic, protective, and utterly devoted to Bella, Edward Cullen represents for many people the ultimate boyfriend. Sure, he’s a vampire, and he’s been 17 for the last eighty or so years, but he’d never harm those around him—Bella especially. - Rob’s favourite sports are darts and pool. He says that he made up in his Harry Potter audition that he liked snowboarding and soccer in order to seem more athletic.
- He beat out 3,000 others to win the role of Edward Cullen. Perhaps it was his trademark messy hair that gave him a leading edge...
- He once invited an obsessive fan of his out to dinner when he was having a bad day.
 Taylor Lautner - Jacob BlackOne of Bella’s newest friends in the town of Forks, Jacob warns her about Edward’s true nature in an attempt to keep her safe. But it turns out that he’s got a few secrets of his own...one of them being that he harbours a crush on Bella. - Taylor is a highly skilled martial artist. He began studying karate at the age of 6 and won several junior world championships before he was 12.
- As soon as filming for Twilight finished, he began working out intensely so that he would be able to play the grown-up, muscular Jacob Black featured in New Moon.
- Loves the film industry and would like to become a scriptwriter or director in future.
 Kellan Lutz - Emmett CullenTall and muscular Emmett is one of Edward’s adopted brothers, and in love with fellow vampire, Rosalie. Always making jokes, he often teases Bella about her clumsiness, but he’s on her side when it comes to the fight…
- Kellan’s favourite place in the world is South Africa, but he grew up in Arizona as part of a very large family -- he has six brothers and one sister!
- Though he worked hard in high school and was offered several scholarships to different universities, he turned them all down in order to focus on acting.
- Apparently Kellan and co-star Peter Facinelli would play pranks on the Twilight crew during filming.
 Cam Gigandet - James The sinister James is a special kind of vampire—a ‘tracker’ vampire that hunts and kills both humans and animals. Unlike the Carlisle family, he drinks human blood. It is said that he always gets what he wants—and what he wants is Bella…
- Like Taylor, Cam is a talented martial artist -- he has a black belt in Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art form.
- Before he had even auditioned for the film, his girlfriend made him read the the whole Twilight series!
- He has two tattoos -- one on his arm, and one on his hip that reads 'Godspeed'.
 Peter Facinelli - Carlisle CullenEdward’s adoptive father is as ‘good’ a vampire as they come, having assembled his family by turning humans who were about to die into vampires. He works as a doctor and hopes for peace between the Cullens and the Quileutes. - As you can probably tell from his surname, Peter is part-Italian.
- Bad news, girls -- he is happily married to actress Jennie Garth (Kelly from Beverly Hills 90210), and they have three young children. He even coaches his kids’ soccer and baseball teams!
- Like the character he plays, Peter is also a vegetarian.
Jackson Rathbone - Jasper Hale Highly-strung vampire Jasper, also one of Carlisle’s adoptive children, presents quite a source of danger to Bella. Unlike the other Cullens, he’s not so good at suppressing his desire for human blood… - Jackson is quite the globetrotter -- he was born in Singapore and has lived in Indonesia, Texas, and Michigan.
- A talented musician, he enjoys playing several different musicial instruments, including the guitar and harmonica.
- Don't call him 'Jackson' -- his nickname is 'Jay'.
