Jamie Campbell Bower's Unfiltered Thoughts on His Twilight Co-Stars
It looks like the actors' shocking comments were taken out of context.
While Jamie Campbell Bower's name may not be the first that comes to mind when you think of Twilight, as his role in the film franchise was rather small, he certainly made a huge impact on fans back in 2011 when his comments spread like wildfire around the world.
During one of the interviews, Campbell surprisingly called both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart idiots, saying that they were both pretty awful. People were really shocked to hear a young actor insult his co-stars like that, but the truth turned out to be much simpler.
Although Campbell did call Stewart and Pattinson idiots, his comments were ironic in nature, as he began to praise both of them moments later. Obviously, the press didn't want to lose such a huge scandal and decided to take the actor's words out of the contest, putting him in a rather questionable position.
'No, I love working with them. They're both incredible actors and Kristen is someone I've admired for ages since I first saw her in Panic Room, I've thought she was wonderful. And Rob is someone who mutual friends of mine now know as well, so it's nice to be able to work with people that you can get along with,' Bower said moments after calling his co-stars idiots.
So while Bower should have kept his irony to himself, he was still just teasing his much more famous colleagues and didn't deserve so much backlash for making poor decisions on behalf of the interviewer.
However, the scandal hasn't affected Bower's career too much, as he's been cast in major roles in both Fantastic Beasts and Stranger Things, making him one of the most successful actors to come out of Twilight, and his $3 million net worth is growing with each passing year.
The actor is currently filming the new Kevin Costner-directed blockbuster Horizon, and fans are hoping that his insensitive comments about Pattinson and Stewart didn't cause any bad blood between them, and that he might work with them in the future. In any case, no real damage was done!
