Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke revealed that Robert Pattison got way too into his audition scene with Kristen Stewart, which had them kissing on her bed. Hardwicke directed the 2008 film adaption of Stephanie Meyer's bestselling supernatural young adult novels, which centered on a love story between a teenage girl and a vampire.

Apparently, their chemistry sizzled as early as the audition stages.
