Suki Waterhouse said she has never watched the 2008 [1] film "Twilight," which starred her partner Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.
The admission is notable given the film's status as a global cultural phenomenon and the breakout role that launched Pattinson's career. For many fans, the movie remains a definitive piece of pop culture from the late 2000s.
Waterhouse shared the detail during an interview on Owen Thiele's "In Your Dreams," which was posted to the Entertainment Tonight YouTube channel [2]. She said that she has not yet gotten around to viewing the movie [1].
"I’ve never actually watched Twilight," Waterhouse said [1]. "I don’t think I’ll watch it alone" [1].
While she has avoided the film thus far, the Entertainment Tonight host said that Waterhouse is "definitely on team Edward" [2]. The phrase refers to the central romantic conflict of the series, where viewers typically align themselves with either the vampire Edward or the werewolf Jacob.
Waterhouse said that she would prefer to watch the movie with Pattinson rather than experiencing the story in isolation [1]. The film, released in 2008 [1], began a franchise that spanned several sequels and defined a generation of young adult cinema.
Waterhouse and Pattinson have maintained a high-profile relationship while both continuing their respective careers in music and acting. The couple's dynamic often draws public interest, particularly regarding how they navigate their shared fame and professional histories.
“"I’ve never actually watched Twilight. I don’t think I’ll watch it alone."”
This anecdote highlights the disconnect between a celebrity's public persona and their private life. While 'Twilight' is a cornerstone of modern film history, Waterhouse's choice to avoid it alone suggests a preference for shared experiences over the consumption of a partner's most scrutinized early work.
