Robert Pattinson says he drew inspiration from Hollywood icon James Dean when bringing the role of Edward Cullen to life in the ‘Twilight‘ saga films.

In a recent interview, Pattinson said:

“Rebel Without a Cause was a big influence on the first film — it influenced the hairdo and stuff.  In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc:  An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump.”

We can totally see the similarities in the characters!
