Peter Facinelliis spilling aTwilightsecret!
Much of the cast of the vampire franchise reunited at MegaCon on Friday, Feb. 7, in Orlando, more than a decade after the premiere of the final film in the four-part saga, 2012’sBreaking Dawn — Part2. The first film came out in 2008.
Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen),Ashley Greene(Alice Cullen),Kellan Lutz(Emmett Cullen) andJackson Rathbone(Jasper Hale) shared set memories and ruminated on the series' impact years later.
One hilarious moment on set? What Facinelli, 51, whispered inRobert Pattinson’s ear in the scene in which Carlisle bites Pattinson’s Edward, turning him into a vampire.
“I leaned in the first time, on the first take, and said, ‘I’m sorry.’ ‘Cause I felt like Carlisle didn’t really ask for permission — you should always ask for permission,” he began.
“But on the second take, I leaned in and said, ‘Rob, you’re so handsome,’ " Facinelli continued. “And then he smiled a little bit. And that’s the take that’s in the movie.”

While Pattinson, 38, wasn’t at MegaCon, his castmates reflected fondly on working with him, and even joked that he was the most likely of the cast to get lost on set.
“I could have a tattoo saying ‘I’m lost’ and Rob would still be more likely to get lost,” joked Rathbone, 38.
And despite their own star status, Rathbone still admitted that he gets starstruck at times — like when he came in contact with another MegaCon attendee.
“I used to have a stutter. I metRon Howard, and I had a stutter again,” he told the crowd.

The Cullens also appeared atEpic Con Chicagoin 2024, where they took anostalgic group photo.
“I just met an Emmett, which was great. I have a little Emmett buddy,” he raved. “It’s pretty cool what these movies have done for all of us collectively, to grow together.”
