Jackson Rathbone Says Robert Pattinson Is The 'Perfect' Edward Cullen

Jackson Rathbone on Edward Cullen/Robert Pattinson part

"I was a choice. I don't think I was [Catherine Hardwick's] first choice," Jackson told us in a recent interview on the set of his new movie, "Girlfriend."


But he was a definite choice for author Stephenie Meyer, who had included Jackson on her favorite suggestions list of possible Edwards on her website in July, 2007 before casting was finished (Robert Pattinson was one of the more popular suggestions, but Henry Cavill was her first choice). Jackson emphasized he felt, in both cases, Rob was the first choice once the actors had been narrowed down.

"I think he's the best man for the job," Jackson said. "I wouldn't have another Edward Cullen than Robert Pattinson. He's perfect."

Had the tables turned and Jackson got the part, it could have been his face lining the tabloid articles he told us he liked to laugh at. Somehow, when he informed us, "I love playing Jasper," we're also assuming he loved missing a huge, gossip-driven bullet (Jackson talks more about that "bullet," er the endless Robert Pattinson- Kristen Stewart romance rumors, at MTV.com).

"Jag var ett alternativ. Jag tror inte att jag var Catherine Hardwicks  f�rsta val,"ber�ttade Jackson  nyligen i en intervju p� inspelningen av hans nya film, "Girlfriend".

Men han var definitivt en av f�rfattaren Stephenie Meyers val, hon hade tagit med Jackson p� sin favorit f�rslag lista �ver t�nkbara Edwards p� sin hemsida i juli 2007 innan castingen var klar (Robert Pattinson var en av de mest popul�ra f�rslagen, men Henry Cavill var hennes First Choice). Jackson betonade att han k�nde, att i b�da fallen var Rob det f�rsta valet n�r sk�despelarna hade minskats ner.

"Jag tror att han �r den b�sta mannen f�r jobbet," sa Jackson. "Jag skulle inte ha n�gon annan Edward Cullen �n Robert Pattinson. Han �r perfekt."


Hade det varit omv�nda roller och Jackson f�tt rollen, kunde det ha varit hans ansikte p� rad i alla skvaller artiklar som han ber�ttade att han tycker om att skratta �t. P� n�got s�tt, n�r han ber�ttade f�r oss, "jag �lskar att spela Jasper," antar vi ocks� att han �lskade att sakna den stora skvaller drivna kulan. (Jackson talar mer om den "kulan" ehm de �ndl�sa Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart romantik ryktena, p� MTV.com).
