"Breaking Dawn Part 1" continues to be number one at the box office, despite "The Muppets" opening on a family holiday weekend. With all of the success and money "Twilight" has enjoyed, it's bound to have lots of fans in Hollywood. Plenty of people there just want to jump on the bandwagon of something popular.
However, there are a number of celebrities who appear to be genuine Twi-hards. They may start watching "Twilight" as a joke, or read to the first book just to find out what the hype is about, but it ends up hooking them. They end up talking about it in interviews and tweeting about it much more than I imagine they expected.
We already know about the obvious celebrity Twi-hards like Dakota Fanning, who won the part of Jane after admitting her fandom, and any female child star under 15 years old. Here are 10 Twi-hard celebrities that you may not know about.
50 CentWhen 50 Cent decided that he needed new G-Unit recruits, Robert Pattinson's name made his shortlist. He told MTV, "He has a big enough following to be the frontline. 'Twilight' ain't no joke." Curtis Jackson is joking. He attended the "New Moon" premiere and admitted on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that he's a fan. There was even a minor campaign to get him into "Breaking Dawn." After all, with as many bullets as 50 Cent has taken, he may be a vampire.
Aziz AnsariSnarky comedian and Twitter superstar Aziz Ansari decided to live-tweet his "Twilight" watching experience. Obviously, he had his fair share of jokes: "If you stop a van from hitting a girl, don't be such a d–k about it. Be like, "Look baby, I'm a vampire. That's how." #EdwardisBeingaD–k." Ultimately, he decided he loved it: "WHOA. Can anyone that has long scraggly hair in this movie turn into a wolf? That's dope! Why do people hate on this movie???! #Twilight." However, he still can't pick a team: "Still can't figure out if I'm #TeamJacob or #TeamEdward or #TeamAsianKidwithGlassesThatGoestoSchoolwithEm …"
Sofia CoppolaThe director of "Lost in Translation" and "Marie Antoinette" was on the shortlist of people that Summit considered to helm the "Breaking Dawn" monster. Obviously, she lost out to Bill Condon, but that doesn't make her less of a fan. Coppola revealed to MTV News, "I'm impressed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson pulling it off in that whole story. I just love that it's so romantic." While I like the job Condon has done so far, I can't help but wonder what Coppola's "Breaking Dawn" would have been. It would have included more Scarlett Johansson-esque awkward brooding.
Simon Pegg & Nick FrostThese British comedic actors, who starred in "Shaun of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz" and "Paul," have tweeted back and forth about "Twilight" more than smitten schoolgirls. Pegg wrote, "@nickjfrost He's effectively pushing her into Jacob's muscular and suspiciously hairy arms." To which Frost replied, "@simonpegg she's a nice girls but she keeps falling for monsters." And before you think they're just joking around, Pegg already admitted his Twi-hard-dom on Twitter: " Read the Twilight books on hols. Really enjoyed them in a sort of 'creepy old man reading delusional, horny, daughter's diary' way."
Patrick Kane19-year old hockey star and Chicago Blackhawks center Patrick Kane likes to put on a tough exterior, but even a celebrity teen can be sold out by his mother. Kane's mom caught him reading "Breaking Dawn" – and told the press. When asked about it, he laughed, "She would throw me under the bus like that. I watched the first three movies and was really interested … so I decided to read the fourth book." That's cool, Kane. Hockey players should enjoy ice-cold vampires.
