Daniel Radcliffe Talks Again About Rob Pattinson and Twilight

As he spoke to a group of rowdy fans at the 92Y series Broadway Talks in Manhattan this week (in case you didn't know, we thought you should hear), Daniel Radcliffe revealed some interesting insights he's had since finishing up the Harry Potter franchise.

And it isn't just that Radcliffe is so over his wand and scar, it's that any actor who put on those trademark glassed was bound to be a huge star:

"Harry Potter was a phenomenon when I was 7-years-old, that's when [the book] came out; it was a phenomenon before I was even remotely attached," Radcliffe explained to MovieLine.

"The reason I say [that anyone who played him would have become famous] is I was speaking to the director of the first Twilight film, and she said she went to a reading of the books Stephenie Meyer was giving of the first Twilight book. This was before Robert Pattinson was cast. And she said the name Edward Cullen, and the audience went crazy at the name."

Comment by savannah12j on May 12, 2011 at 4:37am: robert would still be better at edward cullen in my personal opinion

Comment by Tina Cullen on May 12, 2011 at 4:49am: Robert Pattison is the one and only Edward Cullen, nobody could do it better than him. :)

Comment by ivy on May 12, 2011 at 8:13am: I can imagine Mr. Radcliffe as Frodo in Lord of the Rings, but as E. Cullen?? Um-NO!!

Besides he would need heels in order to kiss or dance with Bella!

I'm sorry being rude, but that's crazy!

Comment by Connie Cullen on May 12, 2011 at 8:50am: I don't think Dan wanted to be Edward he's just simply talking about the explosion of Rob's fame due to his character, which is true because he can relate to it through Harry Potter. No one really went biserk over him when he played Cedric, it's just the appeal of his character. Call me crazy, but that's the way I see it, most people were drawn to his character rather than him as an individual. That's just my opinion though so don't attack me lol

Comment by KristinMoore on May 12, 2011 at 9:26am: wow can you all not read(with the exception of Connie Cullen) Daniel was merely stating that he knew anyone who got the role of Edward Cullen was going to be a huge star because of the way a crowd reacted when they heard the name. He didn't say "oh yeah, I was up for the role of Edward Cullen". No where in that article did he say he was offered the role. Plus you know the Harry Potter fans would have went ballistic if he starred or even got offered a role in twilight. they would've thrown eggs at his house!

Comment by Jacara Alexander on May 12, 2011 at 11:18am: I dont think anyone could play edward better and Rob...so thats that

Comment by Twilighter76 on May 12, 2011 at 12:11pm: I agree with Daniel. I like Rob a lot but anyone that came into this role would of been famous AND COME ON STOP LYING PEOPLE WE KNOW THIS !

It wouldn't be someone way out of the real of Edward it would be someone who would fit and yes not as well as Rob but people Rob isn't everyones Edward so I see this happening.

Comment by laquever on May 12, 2011 at 12:12pm: my god rob is just to good looking for his own good lol !@jacara u r so right no one could play edward like rob me and hubby was just saying the samething the other day and we agreed rob was born to play edward cullen to bad it has to end soon

Comment by Najwa Meyer on May 12, 2011 at 12:47pm: no i think he's wrong cus rob was made to do the role of edward , and actually he's the one who made watch the movie in the first place because i didn't even know there was a book
