This. He's portraying EDWARD...the ultimate in vampire fantasy for these young girls. I think that's the huge draw. As long as he looks like his descriptions in the books - he's in.

He also played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter when he was younger (and cuter, if you ask me), but didn't get anywhere near the exposure.



Admittedly, I had to look up the other guy...didn't recognize his name though I do recognize his face. He's totally not my type, and even less so when I was a young-un and prefered the beefy-er types.
