Bella Swan isn’t the only one who certainly loves Edward. After a mall signing event, featuring Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward in the film, caused a near-riot, it’s safe to say Edward is the hottest vampire to hit the scene since Brad Pitt’s Louis.
Eternally young and handsome, Edward is smart, soft-spoken, and, oh, yeah, he sparkles in the sunlight. But what’s really setting everyone’s hearts afire is his romantic soul. It’s love at first smell when he meets Bella, and he battles bad vampires and his own inner demons to keep her safe. Who wouldn’t fall in love with a guy—er, vampire like him?
Just like Bella, thousands of fans have fallen in love, and they’ve made Twilight an international phenomenon. The series of books, written by Stephanie Meyer, is printed in more than 20 different languages. To date, it has sold over 17 million copies in 37 countries, and the film adaptation of the first book is opening worldwide in just a few days.
That Edward is the most popular character came as a surprise to Pattinson, according to Torrid’s very own Tiffany Yin, who was on hand to meet him at the signing event. She got to spend most of the day with him [don’t hate!], so we thought we’d ask her some important questions.
