After a certain brooding vampire and an intense werewolf, our favourite thing about the Twilight Saga movies has to be sexy vampire doctor Carlisle Cullen AKA the very swoon-some Peter Facinelli.
Peter has just admitted that his first reaction to being asked to audition for Twilight was to turn it down,
“I almost didn't read for Twilight. My agent said, 'Do you want to do a vampire movie?' And I was like, 'No.' I was totally thinking blood and guts and bats in caves, like some kind of horror movie,” Peter has told PR.com
“They literally talked me into reading the book and I actually enjoyed the book a lot. Then Catherine Hardwicke was directing ('Twilight') and I was a fan of hers."
We couldn’t imagine the Twilight Saga without Peter, so thank goodness someone was smart enough to convince him to try out for the part!
American Beauty
Unfortunately for Peter he didn’t have someone to convince him to audition for the Oscar-winning movie American Beauty, when he first read the script for the Kevin Spacey movie,
"I read American Beauty, and I was like, 'I don't get this movie at all.' And it came out and was an Academy Award-winning film. Now I look at that film and think, 'How could I have not gotten that movie?!"
