Suki Waterhouse reveals why she hasn’t watched Twilight yet

Suki Waterhouse has surprised fans by revealing that she has never watched her partner Robert Pattinson’s iconic performance as Edward Cullen in the Twilight film series.

Although the couple have been together for several years and share a young daughter, Waterhouse admitted that she has yet to sit down and watch the blockbuster franchise that launched Pattinson to worldwide fame.

During a recent podcast appearance, the actress and singer was asked a fun question about whether she was “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob,” referring to the famous love triangle at the center of the Twilight saga.

Waterhouse responded with an unexpected confession, saying she had never actually seen the films. She admitted that despite the franchise’s massive popularity, she still has not watched Pattinson’s breakout role. However, she made it clear that she plans to change that in the future.

She also joked that even without seeing the movies, she knew she had to support Edward. Laughing at her own answer, Waterhouse said she quickly realized she couldn’t choose the wrong side when discussing the franchise connected so closely to her partner.

The actress explained that she has been waiting for the right moment to finally watch the films. Rather than viewing them by herself, she wants the experience to be more entertaining and personal.

Waterhouse said she would love to watch the Twilight movies with Pattinson by her side so he could provide behind-the-scenes commentary and share stories from the making of the films. She also joked that she would happily watch them with friends, as long as someone was there to offer commentary throughout the experience.

Pattinson portrayed the mysterious vampire Edward Cullen in the hugely successful Twilight series, which became a global cultural phenomenon after the first film was released in 2008. The franchise turned him into one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and earned him a dedicated international fan base.

While Pattinson has since built a career with a wide range of critically acclaimed performances, including independent films and major blockbusters, Twilight remains one of the defining chapters of his career.

Waterhouse and Pattinson have kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight since they began dating. The pair rarely discuss their private lives publicly, choosing instead to focus attention on their respective careers.

The couple welcomed their first child together in 2024 and have continued to maintain a low profile as parents.

During the same conversation, Waterhouse also shared a glimpse into their supportive relationship. She revealed that Pattinson is always willing to help her prepare audition self-tapes, showing his encouragement for her acting career.

Her comments offered fans a rare insight into their life together, highlighting not only their sense of humor but also the support they provide each other behind the scenes. While Waterhouse may not have seen Twilight yet, she made it clear that when she finally does, she wants the experience to be memorable—with Robert Pattinson offering commentary every step of the way.
