It's finally fall, and you know what that means. It's time to get cozy and spend a few hours in Forks, Washington rewatching the Twilight movies.
As you gear up to watch again, here's what the cast have been up to since the movies wrapped up:
1.Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan)
Kristen Stewart was already a movie star before ever playing Bella Swan, and her impressive career has only grown since the franchise ended. She's starred in countless movies, both big budget and independent. Her work in Clouds of Sils Maria, Personal Shopper, and Seberg was particularly praised.
Most recently, K-Stew starred in the holiday rom-com Happiest Season and played Princess Diana in Spencer, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
2.Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen)
Eager to leave his heartthrob image behind him, Robert Pattinson took as many dark, tortured, twisted roles in independent movies as he could get his hands on. This included Salvador Dalí in Little Ashes (which he did during the Twilight years), Reynolds in The Rover, Connie in Good Time, and Thomas in The Lighthouse.
He recently returned to his blockbuster roots when he played the Caped Crusader himself in Matt Reeves's The Batman. And you can catch him again in the sequel next year!
