Jackson Rathbone Says "I wouldn't have another Edward Cullen than Robert Pattinson"

Yes, yes Jackson Rathbone did say that. Could it be because of his admiration of how Rob has been able to stay sane with all the rumors and sreaming fans? I would say, yes. Who wouldn't?

As you might also remember from a past post, Jackson was also a choice for Edward.
I think he's glad he didn't get the part. What do you guys think?
I know I wouldn't like people (paparazzi) following me where ever I go.


Read his exact (well maybe not exact) words:

"I was a choice. I don't think I was [Catherine Hardwick's] first choice," Jackson told us in a recent interview on the set of his new movie, "Girlfriend."











But he was a definite choice for author Stephenie Meyer, who had included Jackson on her favorite suggestions list of possible Edwards on her website in July, 2007 before casting was finished (Robert Pattinson was one of the more popular suggestions, but Henry Cavill was her first choice). Jackson emphasized he felt, in both cases, Rob was the first choice once the actors had been narrowed down.






"I think he's the best man for the job," Jackson said. "I wouldn't have another Edward Cullen than Robert Pattinson. He's perfect."






Had the tables turned and Jackson got the part, it could have been his face lining the tabloid articles he told us he liked to laugh at. Somehow, when he informed us, "I love playing Jasper," we're also assuming he loved missing a huge, gossip-driven bullet...
