Next Movie has compiled a list of actors that you may or may not have known auditioned for a role inTwilight! The list includes Hunger Games vixen Jennifer Lawrence, Disney darling Vanessa Hudgens, and more!
Jennifer Lawrence
Auditioned for: Bella Swan
Background: Before Lawrence looked stunning in her red dress at the 2011 Academy Awards, she was an actress-with-potential knocking around Hollywood auditions. A fan of the novels, Lawrence said, “I love the ‘Twilight’ books. I’m not even ashamed to say it, they are like methamphetamine to me. So when I heard Kristen Stewart say, “I only read the first one,” I was like, “Oh man,” because she wasn’t a huge fan of the books.”
What If: Being such a Twi-hard, Lawrence may have delivered a more literal performance, for better or worse. She’s such a great actress it’s tough to say Stewart is definitely the better Bella. However, if Lawrence had gotten the role, she would not have been done “Winter’s Bone,” we wouldn’t have seen in her Oscar red dress and she wouldn’t be starring in “The Hunger Games.” All of those would have been tragedies.
Vanessa Hudgens
Auditioned for: Leah Clearwater
Background: The “High School Musical” star was in the lead for this tough-as-werewolf-claws role during casting for “New Moon.” Her pal Ashley Greene even enthused in an interview, “I think she’d be great.” Apparently, this fell apart when Hudgens learned Leah, the only known female shapeshifter, wouldn’t appear until “Eclipse.”
What If: Sure, Hudgens has that dark, sultry thing going for her, but I can’t imagine being scared of her soft baby face. Julia Jones, who landed the Leah part, has a strong, angular face and eyes that yell, “Don’t f*** with me!” She gives me nightmares, while I just want to hug Hudgens.
