Facinelli Shows Some Love

Peter Facinelli talks about Twilight in this CanMag interview - Interesting!!

Facinelli thinks the transformations of himself and costars reflects the skill with which director Catherine Hardwicke cast the film. "If you had blonde hair, you dyed it brown. If you had brown hair you dyed it blonde. That was Catherine saying she has a vision. 'These are actors that have the qualities of these characters that I'm looking for and I can make them look like the characters from the book.' And she did that. That was really nice. Once people saw the transformation, then they came on board but at first none of us looked like our characters."

As the leader of the Cullen vampire clan, Facinelli felt a bit of fatherly love for his on screen children. "We spent a lot of time together in rehearsals, a lot of time helping each other. I think there's a bond there because we all respected each other as actors and we all respected each other as people and we really all enjoy each other's company. And I mean, when I see them, they put a smile on my face. I actually fell in love like a family love for all of the Cullens and for Bella and for Jacob. When I see this cast, it makes me happy. I just want to go over and give them a hug. I felt like that's how it was while we were shooting. I enjoy them."
