The Cullen clan from The Twilight saga reunited at the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle. Kellan Lutz, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, and Jackson Rathbone showed that their connection goes beyond just acting in vampire movies.

Lutz, who is 38 years old, posted a picture on Instagram on Sunday, March 3, showing the group together. He captioned it, "Got the fam together!"

Fans were excited about the reunion and left celebratory comments. One user exclaimed, "Omg the cullenssss🪬🪬," while another playfully commented, "My Roman Empire."

In the Twilight franchise, Peter Facinelli, now 50 years old, portrayed the Cullen family patriarch. The franchise consisted of five movies released from 2008 to 2012. Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene (37 years old), and Jackson Rathbone (39 years old) played the roles of Cullen kids Emmett, Alice, and Jasper. Robert Pattinson played the role of vampire heartthrob Edward, who falls in love with his human classmate Bella, portrayed by Kristen Stewart.

Since the last movie of the Twilight series came out, the cast has been open about their time working on the films. They have also enjoyed making jokes about the fantasy movies. For example, in January, Reed, who is 35 years old, playfully called her husband Ian Somerhalder "Cc Emmett Cullen" in her first TikTok video.

In December 2023, Taylor Lautner, known for his role as werewolf Jacob, talked about the friendly competition between him and his costar Pattinson, who is 37 years old, when they were not filming.

Being in the spotlight during the peak of Twilight's popularity was challenging, especially for Taylor Lautner, who played Jacob in the series. He admitted on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast that it was tough, especially at a young age. Sometimes, he found himself getting his feelings hurt even when he shouldn't have, but he acknowledged that it's hard to avoid at times.

During the Twilight craze, fans were split into Team Edward and Team Jacob, rooting for their favorite supernatural being to win Bella's heart. In the end, Bella chooses Edward, but Jacob finds his own happy ending with the couple's daughter, Renesmee.

The actor from the Home Team found the onscreen rivalry to be a challenge. Taylor Lautner, who played a role in the movie, shared his experience. He mentioned how awkward it was to stand together on a balcony with Robert Pattinson while the audience cheered and booed for them both. Despite the challenging situation, they had to maintain a friendly relationship.

He went on to say that he and Rob are quite different individuals, which made it challenging for them to form a deep connection. Despite their differences, he emphasized that Rob has always been amazing and incredibly kind.

In a previous interview on “The Toast” podcast in February 2023, Lautner also touched upon the awkwardness that stemmed from the intense Twilight fandom.

"I was really young back then, and it felt quite strange to travel the world, visit different cities, and have thousands of fans screaming either in support of me or the other guy," he remembered. "Even though we were a team, both just trying to make great movies, there was a strange sense of competition. Not between me and Rob, but the constant reminder of it definitely affected me."
