Twilight vampire Robert Pattinson revealed that he could have been a blood sucker in the hit HBO series True Blood instead.
Is it true that you did castings for vampire characters before?
Yes, I did an audition for True Blood, but that didn’t work out. I didn’t think I would get the role of Edward Cullen either, because the character is very enigmatic. I didn’t want to play the biggest vampire stereotype, so I tried to humanize him.

Wow! I think he will be too handsome to play in that TV series but I think it would have been cute to hear Rob talk with a really thick southern accent(if he got Bill’s part), but then again I don’t like him to kiss Sookie! I think he is a little too young to play Bill though(or any other character there). This is cool to know though, geez everyday I’m learning more about Robert Pattinson, wow!

Maybe Emma Gabor’s latest book, “Predatoress: Hungarian Bride”- another thrilling vampire story, will be made into a movie (I hope), and he could play in that. That would be perfect!

Thank goodness he didn’t get it (True Blood)
No disrespect to the die-hard RPatz drones…but he is lacking! I get it, he’s ‘to die for’…but I obviously have better vision than you lot!
No seriously…he’s probably a fantastic actor and person…but I am just not that into him.
Stephen Moyer anyday! *drool*

As someone who loves both True Blood and Twilight, I’m honestly so glad he didn’t get a role in True Blood. True Blood is an adult tv show, and a lot more mature. Sure he’s great as Edward Cullen, but they guy is what 23 in real life? And the vampires in True Blood are older than that. Plus… Robert Pattison is “cute” not “hot sexy vampire” which is needed in True Blood. Besides *ducks from die-hard Robert fans* he’s too emo a vampire to ever be a True Blood vampire. And really not hot enough.
Twilight is a tweener movie, True Blood is for 19+ adults. Maybe when Robert is 10 years older he’d make a perfect True Blood actor, but he’s too young to have been a major vampire character in a tv show. Plus… then we’d have had crazy tweeners following True Blood. Now that’s scary.
