Last night on heat TV, we played out Twilight Top 10: The Soundtrack – giving you one whole hour to sit dreaming about Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart with the film’s best tunes playing in the background. Heaven.
With the new film coming out soon, apart from sharing the best songs with you – we thought we’d remind you of some weird facts you might not know about the trio.
Don’t worry if you missed it, we’re repeating it on Thursday 23 August at 8pm.
Odd Rob
He was a cross dressing child
"Up until I was 12, my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as Claudia. Twelve was a real turning point for me as I moved to a mixed school”
We are so thankful you did Rob!
His nerves made him vomit
The poor lad used to get such bad nerves when filming the part of Hogwarts legend, Cedric Diggory he would have a ‘not so tactical’ chunder on set. Although he’s a bit more grown up now – he still can’t help but feel nasucous, especially when naked.
"They give you a little robe. The moment where you have to take it off it's the most...you're wanting to throw up and your whole body starts failing. I was doing this thing where I was refusing to look at anyone and just between each take you'd be sitting there convulsing."
We wonder if anyone ever wants to share a trailer with him?
He loves music so much, he makes it
A man of many talents, two of the actor’s songs were in the soundtrack for Twilight: New Moon, Never Think and Let Me Sign.
“I’ve never really recorded anything — I just played in pubs and stuff – Music is my backup plan if acting fails. I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket.”
Quirky Kristen
She’s got her own comic book
In 2010 Kristen became one of the latest in the celeb world to get her own comic. Bluewater Productions’ Fame series of biographical comics had covered RPattz and Lady Gaga before turning to the starlet.
The 32 page masterpiece promised to show off Kristen’s best bits. And it’s a snip at only $4.
She loves Van Morrison
The Irish Soul singer is her favourite singer. Her favourite song of the crooner’s is Madame George, off his classic Astral Weeks album, released in 1968. Nice.
Her character Bella’s smell got bottled.
Immortal Twilight was made to “emulate the way Bella smells to Edward with notes of cool citrus and wild chamomile”. It sounds like it smells like a posh Twinning’s tea bag.
Twitchy Taylor
He’s a black belt in karate
Not only good on four legs, turns out the actor is amazing when it comes to fighting. In 2003, he was the world number one at “NASKA’s Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms”.
What on earth are musical weapons? A flute could be pretty dangerous if thrown.
He has dancing feet
We all have those annoying habits, but this is a bad.
“One of my worst habits is that I have Restless Leg Syndrome. I can never stop bouncing my knee. People always tell me to stop, but I can’t force it to stay still. It’s totally unconscious.”
How irritating.
He’s the star of a music video
He made the amateur video to One Republic’s hit, Apologize. He spends most of the song sitting down talking into a phone upside down. Enjoy.
The half fact
New Moon was director Chris Weitz's first vampire movie - but the blood sucking fascination runs in his family. His nan played the lead in Spanish vampire film Dracula in 1931 and his brother directed Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. How very odd.
Look out for more Film Soundtrack Top Ten’s on heat TV – only on Sky 364 and Virgin 338 - you'd be mad to miss it!
