For 99% of us, Edward Cullen was the character that introduced us to Robert Pattinson. This was the first picture I saw of the 'soon to be' Edward back when I read the books in August 2008.
After I'd stopped drooling, I googled and surprisingly there wasn't much info on Mr. Pattinson (what a difference two years makes!) - I realized he was the cute guy who played 'the boy who died' in my ALL time favourite book/movie series and it clicked. When the Twilight interviews started emerging, the witty, sweet, shy guy made us all sigh.
Taking it back to what made our Robsessions appear... here's a picspam post of the original Edward in all his preened eyebrow, quiffed hairdo, pea coat glory.
Enjoy!
And a few behind the scenes...
I won't bore you with my list of wrongs from Twilight, but the absolute right was the casting :-)
