Robert Pattinson expressed surprise upon discovering that his Die My Love co-star Jennifer Lawrence once auditioned for the Twilight film series. The revelation came during a recent Vanity Fair Lie Detector Test segment where the two actors posed questions to one another ahead of their movie’s release.
Insight into the Twilight vs. Hunger Games Discussion
During the candid exchange, Pattinson questioned Lawrence about her attempt to land a part in the vampire drama, asking if that experience influenced her views on the ongoing debate between Twilight and The Hunger Games. Lawrence confirmed her audition but dismissed any regrets about not being cast.
Pattinson pressed further, asking,
Do you think ‘The Hunger Games’ is cooler than ‘Twilight?’
Lawrence’s unexpected response was a simple “no,” later joking that, “this machine [was] broken.”
The Impact of Both Franchises on Their Careers
Pattinson’s role as Edward Cullen between 2008 and 2012 helped propel the Twilight series into a major cultural phenomenon, elevating himself and fellow actress Kristen Stewart to worldwide recognition. Meanwhile, Lawrence rose to fame as Katniss Everdeen when The Hunger Games franchise began in 2012, cementing her status as a top Hollywood star.
If Lawrence had secured the lead role of Bella Swan in Twilight, the course of both her career and the franchise might have been very different.
