Twilight Where Are They Now

10 Years Later, Here's What the Twilight Cast Is Up To

Oct 31 2018

Can you believe it's been a whole decade since the first Twilight movie hit theatres? The gothic vampire romance was one of the biggest pop culture touchstones of the mid-to-late 2000s. Between the alt-pop soundtrack and the "shipper" wars (everyone had to be either Team Edward or Team Jacob, there was no in between), the Twilight era was definitely memorable for a lot of reasons.

While the Twilight Saga movies were in full swing, the actors in the series were some of Hollywood's biggest stars. Although some have led quieter lives and careers since the series ended in 2012, others have stayed in the spotlight or even broken into the A-list. If you've been wondering what the cast has been up to, wonder no more! We've got all the scoop — just scroll through our gallery ahead!

Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan

Kristen Stewart Now

Since wrapping Twilight, Stewart has only tackled one big-budget studio film: 2012's tepidly reviewed Snow White and the Hunstman. Instead, she's returned to her indie roots, starring in a series of independent dramas. She received critical acclaim for her role in 2015's Clouds of Sils Maria and won the Cesar Award for best supporting actress. In 2017, she made her directorial debut with the short Come Swim, and she's set to star in the upcoming Charlie's Angels reboot. Her personal life has been in the spotlight since she dated her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson during the film series, and in 2017, she came out as bisexual.

Robert Pattinson Now

Famously wry about his broody role in Twilight, Pattinson has moved into wide-ranging roles in quirky films in the years since. Some of his most praised perfomances include The Rover, The Childhood of a Leader, and Good Time. Pattinson is part of a rare club of actors with roles in multiple iconic franchises (he also played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), but he has mostly eschewed large studio movies in favour of indie roles.

Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black

Taylor Lautner Now

As the buff werewolf Jacob, Lautner won tons of hearts in the Twilight years. During that era, he seemed like a candidate for Hollywood's next leading man, with roles in films such as Valentine's Day and Abduction. After Twilight, however, he appeared on screen less; his most recent big role was in 2016 on Ryan Murphy's TV series Scream Queens.

Billy Burke as Charlie Swan

Billy Burke Now

Let's be honest, we were all a little bit Charlie when it came to Twilight: love the characters, but had to eye-roll at the sheer ridiculousness of it all. Burke continued that sardonic, lovable-grump persona into his post-Twilight TV roles, notably as the lead of NBC's sci-fi series Revolution and in CBS's Zoo, both of which lasted two seasons. He also popped up as recently as this year as a recurring character on Major Crimes.

Anna Kendrick as Jessica

Anna Kendrick Now

Her role as human high school student Jessica might have been small, but it was one of the scene-stealing performances in Twilight. Kendrick has gone on to the most high-profile career out of the entire cast, with an Oscar nomination (for 2009's Up in the Air) and several blockbuster films. Her real breakout came with 2012's instant classic comedy Pitch Perfect and its sequels; she showed off her musical chops again in 2014's Into The Woods. More recently, she stepped into the thriller world with A Simple Favour.

Cam Gigandet as James

Cam Gigandet Now

Gigandet's ponytailed bad boy James was the vampire villain of our nightmares: just charming and normal until he wasn't. Post-Twilight, Gigandet continued on the teen movie circuit, notably in the Emma Stone comedy Easy A. Although his acting career has slowed, he's had other things to focus on: he and his longtime partner, Dominique Geisendorff, have two daughters, one born in 2009 and the other in 2015.

Peter Facinelli as Carlisle Cullen

Peter Facinelli Now

Facinelli was already an established actor when he took on the role of the kindhearted Cullen patriarch. Since wrapping the series, his most notable roles have been on television. He costarred on the dark comedy Nurse Jackie for seven years, then returned to the sci-fi/fantasy realm as amoral tech titan Maxwell Lord on the first season of Supergirl.

Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria

Rachelle Lefevre Now

Lefevre's run in the Twilight series was shorter than expected. She played Victoria for the first two films, but when the third film, Eclipse, rolled around, she was unexpectedly replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard. Following her departure, Lefevre shifted into television. Among her notable roles are the CBS shows A Gifted Man and Under The Dome. Most recently, she's joined the cast of Global's series Mary Kills People.

Nikki Reed as Rosalie Hale

Nikki Reed Now

Twilight wasn't the first time Reed had worked with director Catherine Hardwicke: in 2003, she starred in Hardwicke's drama Thirteen when she was only 15. Since Twilight wrapped, Reed has been more low-profile, starring in some smaller-budget films such as Empire State and About Scout and doing charity work for animal welfare. Her personal life has been a little more visible: after divorcing her first husband in 2014, she began dating The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder. The couple married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter in 2017.

Jackson Rathbone Now

Rathbone is one of the quieter members of the Twilight cast. He's popped up in smaller-scale films such as Live at the Foxes Den and Pali Road, but no major releases. That doesn't mean he hasn't been busy: he has his own production company and record company, plus a "role" as husband and father. He and his wife, Sheila, have two children.

Edi Gathegi as Laurent

Edi Gathegi Now

Although Gathegi's Laurent wasn't top-billed, Gathegi has had a steady career in Hollywood ever since. Superhero fans will recognise him as Darwin from X-Men: First Class, and he racked up a pretty respectable number of guest credits on TV shows such as Nikita and Beauty and the Beast. In 2015, he joined NBC's The Blacklist and, when the show spun off The Blacklist: Redemption in 2017, he crossed over to the new series as well.

Ashley Greene Now

For the most part, Greene hasn't taken on major acting roles since Twilight finished up. Instead, she's appeared in smaller films and has taken on a public role for causes such as animal welfare. She did hit a big life milestone since wrapping the series: in 2016, she married Aussie TV host Paul Khoury.

Kellan Lutz as Emmett Cullen

Kellan Lutz Now

Unlike many of his former co-stars, Lutz kept up with big-budget epic films after Twilight. He starred in 2011's Immortals and 2014's The Legend of Hercules, although neither hit the level of success that had been hoped for. Lutz also took a detour into modelling, signing with Ford Models and participating in a Calvin Klein ad campaign; his charity work focuses on animal welfare and child victims of sex trafficking. For the most part, he's kept his personal life out of the spotlight, but he did announce in 2017 that he had married model and TV host Brittany Gonzales.

Elizabeth Reaser as Esme Cullen

Elizabeth Reaser Now

By the time she was cast as matriarch Esme Cullen, Reaser was already recognisable to TV fans as Grey's Anatomy's amnesiac "Ava." For the most part, her roles since then have returned her to the small screen. She had a repeating guest role on CBS's The Good Wife, as well as appearing on the buzzy series True Detective in 2014. Most recently, she's starring in the new Netflix horror series The Haunting of Hill House as the adult version of Shirley Crain.
