Kristen Stewart - Bella Swan

Kristen Stewart is obviously known for her role as the shy and awkward Bella Swan but life post-"Twilight" has been pretty good for the now 28-year-old actress.

Since 2008, Stewart has gravitated towards indie and arthouse-driven projects. She has starred in 2009’s “Adventureland,” “Snow White and the Huntsman” and 2018's “Lizzie”.
Robert Pattinson - Edward Cullen

He may have initially been known for his role as Cedric Diggery in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” but Robert Pattinson was launched into super-stardom after playing everyone’s favourite sensitive, sparkling vampire, Edward Cullen.

Since "Twilight", the 32-year-old has starred in films alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood, such as Nicole Kidman in “Queen of the Desert” and Julianne Moore in 2014’s “Map of the Stars”.

Pattinson has also dabbled in the modelling industry, becoming the brand ambassador for Dior.
Taylor Lautner - Jacob Black

Unlike some of his other co-stars, Taylor Lautner didn't necessarily have the same amount of success post-"Twilight".

Following his role as werewolf Jacob Black, the 26-year-old actor has been credited for his work in 2014’s “Cuckoo” and for his role as Dr. Cassidy Cascade in the now-cancelled comedy-horror series, “Scream Queens”.

It may be safe to say that Lautner’s career peaked following the success of the first “Twilight” film.
Nikki Reed - Rosalie Hale

After being cast as the beautiful but cold-hearted Rosalie Hale in the "Twilight" series, Nikki Reed’s career slowed down significantly when the series came to a close.

Since her portrayal of one of the Cullen sisters, Reed has played roles in films like 2013’s “Pawn” and 2014’s “In Your Eyes”.

The 30-year-old is now happily married to another vamp, “Vampire Diaries” alum Ian Somerhalder.
Kellan Lutz - Emmett Cullen

Kellan Lutz’s role as the fun-loving vampire brother Emmett Cullen kicked off his acting career. Since playing this vamp, Lutz, 33, has snagged numerous roles in mainly action flicks.

Kellan put his muscles to good use as Poseidon in 2011’s “Immortals”, “The Expendables 3” and as Hercules in 2014’s “The Legend of Hercules”.

Off the big screen, the actor is now happily married to model Brittany Gonzales.
Ashley Greene - Alice Cullen

Ashley Greene struck gold when she was slated to play the other vamp sister Alice Cullen in the “Twilight” series.

Over the past 10 years, the 31-year-old landed a recurring role in the police drama “Rogue”, and also appeared in films like “Wish I Was Here” and 2018’s “Accident Man”.

Outside of Hollywood, Greene is now married to her longtime partner, Paul Khoury.

Jackson Rathbone was known as the mysterious soldier-turned vegetarian vampire Jasper Hale in the “Twilight” series.

Rathbone has since landed a number of roles in TV series like “Aim High” and “Finding Carter” while also starring in films “City of Dead Men” and 2018’s “Until We Meet Again” alongside “Pretty Little Liars” alum, Janel Parrish.

Not only can Rathbone act -- he can also sing! The 33-year-old toured with his band, 100 Monkeys, between 2009 and 2011. Jackson has now taken on a solo career, having just released his own EP ‘American Spirit Blues’ in 2018.
Elizabeth Reaser - Esme Cullen

Elizabeth Reaser played the loving vampire mom and wife Esme Cullen in the “Twilight” saga, and the actress has shown no signs of slowing down since the film's debut.

Since hanging up her vampire fangs, Reaser has starred in numerous TV series and films, such as “Mad Men”, “Law & Order: True Crime”, “Ouija: Origin of Evil”.

In 2018, the 43-year-old actress starred in the critically acclaimed Netflix original horror series “The Haunting of Hill House”.
Peter Facinelli - Carlisle Cullen

He may have played the “Twilight” patriarch Dr. Carlisle Cullen but Peter Facinelli is probably best known for his earlier role in 1998’s “Can't Hardly Wait”.

Following his role as the self-controlled vampire father, the 44-year-old dad of three continued acting, making appearances in “Glee”, “Nurse Jackie”, “Supergirl” and most recently “S.W.A.T.”.
Billy Burke - Charlie Swan

Of course, we couldn’t forget Bella’s perpetually worried father, Charlie Swan, played by Billy Burke.

Since parting ways with “Twilight”, Burke garnered a lead role in the NBC series “Revolution”. He also nabbed regular roles in “Zoo” and “Major Crimes” before they were canned.

He may not have become a superstar following the “Twilight” series but Billy has had the longest-standing career, with over thirty years in the business.
