“Spoiler alert—didn’t get it.”
Apparently, Edward Cullen almost looked a lot like Josh Nichols. In a recent episode of his podcast Great Guys, Josh Peck told Twilight star Taylor Lautner that he almost starred opposite him in the major romance movie franchise, revealing that he auditioned to play the film’s lead vampire.
“I remember it’s like 2006? 7?” Peck recalled to Lautner. “They’re like, ‘Audition for this movie, Twilight, it’s based on a book, it’s going to be great.’ So I send in my tape, for Edward.”
The role famously went to Robert Pattinson, but Peck claimed he was close to nabbing the part.
