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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
