It's Been 17 Years Since Twilight Released, Can We Stop Saying Robert Pattinson Is The Sparkling Vampire?

The Twilight Saga served as Robert Pattinson's breakout role 17 years ago, but it's time we ended the ridicule of the actor's "sparkling vampire." The five-chapter Twilight movies greatly impacted Pattinson's career, appointing him to teenage heartthrob status before he broke away from the title after the franchise. Twilight regularly delivered high box-office returns but many viewers and critics called into question the talents of Robert Pattinson and his co-stars in the Twilight movies. While the series might be one of Pattinson's most famous roles, he has built a substantial filmography since playing the beloved Edward Cullen.
