Fans Are Rewatching Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s First Twilight Interview Like It Just Dropped Yesterday

The Twilight fandom never truly dies. It just waits for the perfect moment to reawaken like a brooding, sparkly vampire. Case in point: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s very first on-camera interview for Twilight has resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter), sending fans into a frenzy of nostalgia, memes, and general unhinged behavior.

This interview, originally filmed during the promotional tour for the first Twilight film, is a beautiful time capsule of awkward glances, undeniable chemistry, and two actors who had no idea they were about to become the faces of an era-defining phenomenon.

Now, let’s break down the chaos.

Cinema Was Born That Day

If you thought the Twilight obsession had finally fizzled out, think again. One fan dramatically declared, “Cinema was born that day,” as if Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson personally reinvented the medium of film by sitting on a press junket couch together. And honestly, they kind of did.

Another user admitted, “I have watched this video so many times,” which is both relatable and slightly concerning. If there were an Olympic sport for watching Twilight press interviews on repeat, this person would be taking home the gold.

The Twilight Casting Controversy That Everyone Forgot About

Ah yes, the dark ages of Twilight fandom. Before Pattinson became the Internet’s favorite chaotic heartthrob, people were furious about his casting as Edward Cullen. Yes, furious.

One fan reminded everyone of this historical scandal, tweeting, “People forget, when Robert was first cast as Edward, a lot of fans were unhappy. I believe these interviews helped the tides turn in his favor.” They were right. Back in 2008, Twilight devotees practically organized a resistance movement against Pattinson’s casting, convinced he was not “hot enough” for the role.

Of course, these same people were writing Mrs. Edward Cullen in their school notebooks a few months later. Classic.

The Body Language Speaks Volumes

The resurfaced interview has reignited debates about Pattinson and Stewart’s off-screen dynamic, with one fan noting, “Their body language is so cute.” Another observed, “She was always bossing him around as she should.”

Correct. Kristen Stewart has and always will have the upper hand in their interactions. It is called main character energy.

Others could not help but point out their striking resemblance, with one fan tweeting, “Why they kinda look alike.” The casting directors probably noticed this too and thought, Perfect. Let’s make them both wear brown contact lenses and fully commit to the eerie, slightly unsettling vampire aesthetic.

The YouTube Nostalgia Is Real

For many, this interview is not just a video. It is a core memory. One fan lamented, “And to think I watched this on YouTube right after they released this interview there.”

Back when YouTube was the place for fan edits set to Paramore songs and not just an endless void of reaction videos, watching Twilight interviews felt like an event. You were not just clicking on a video. You were spiritually entering the Twilight cinematic universe.

Ten Years Later, and the Devotion Is Still Real

It has been well over a decade since Twilight first sank its fangs into pop culture, yet the obsession remains. One fan perfectly summed up the lifelong commitment to this franchise, tweeting, “My adolescence and the issue of being a fan began with them, and here I am still supporting them after more than ten years. I LOVE THEM.”

Honestly, same.

Whether you love Twilight ironically, unironically, or somewhere in the messy middle, one thing is clear. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s early interviews are still feeding an entire generation of fans. This resurfaced clip proves that Twilight nostalgia will never die.

If you need us, we will be rewatching this interview for the hundredth time, contemplating life, love, and the Twilight Renaissance.
