But are any of them Edward Anthony Masen Cullen????????

MovieFone e-mailed some men who’s names really are Edward Cullen and asked them what life is like now that they are famous, or at least their name is:

Edward Cullen, Beverly, Mass. (In school in Deerfield, Mass.)

Human Age: 16
Has being named Edward Cullen turned you on to ‘Twilight’?
No. I read the first book just because my girlfriend got it for me for Christmas.
Are you happy to share the heartthrob’s namesake, or wish he would go away?
I could really care less.
What is the biggest downside to sharing the character’s name?
Random Facebook friend requests. You would be surprised if I told you how many I have had. The first couple I accepted, but then it just started getting out of hand. A minority [of those sending requests] speak English. So, sketchy messages (kind of like yours, but I couldn’t read it).
Fictional Edward Cullen’s best asset?
He sparkles. People are really disappointed when I don’t.
Real-life Edward Cullen’s best asset?
My personality. [It's] like Rocco in ‘The Boondock Saints,’ but not stupid, not Italian and I couldn’t grow out a full beard.
Has the on-screen Edward Cullen’s look had any influence on yours?
No.
Be honest: Since ‘Twilight’ came out, have you had more luck with the ladies?
Well, there’s never a lack of a conversation starter … or pick-up line.

Has being named Edward Cullen turned you on to ‘Twilight’?
Nope.
Are you happy to share the heartthrob’s namesake, or wish he would go away?
Not bothered. It caused a bit of mirth with the 8-10-year-olds at school.
What is the biggest downside to sharing the character’s name?
None.
Fictional Edward Cullen’s best asset?
Unknown.
Real-life Edward Cullen’s best asset?
[My] sense of humour.
Has the on-screen Edward Cullen’s look had any influence on yours?
[That would be] difficult, as he isn’t bald and overweight.
Be honest: Since ‘Twilight’ came out, have you had more luck with the ladies?
See penultimate and first answers. What do you think? … I hope your other respondents meet the demographic more than I do!

Eddie Cullen, Farmingdale, N.Y.

Human Age: 26
Has being named Edward Cullen turned you on to ‘Twilight’?
To be honest, I’ve never seen the movie(s) or read the books … So I guess no.
Are you happy to share the heartthrob’s namesake, or wish he would go away?
I don’t really know, I don’t watch much TV or anything like that, so it’s never really in my face. Just [when I'm] meeting new people, everyone I guess is shocked that they’re meeting someone with that name.
What is the biggest downside to sharing the character’s name?
Using debit or credit cards for sure. “Do you know your name is Edward Cullen?” Yes I do. It’s been my name for 26 years. Fictional Edward Cullen’s best asset?
I wouldn’t really know. Maybe having my name?
Real-life Edward Cullen’s best asset?
It’s a three-way tie between an easy-going lifestyle, my reverse-camber snowboard and my Subaru WRX.
Has the on-screen Edward Cullen’s look had any influence on yours?
Again, I wouldn’t really know. But I’m going to go with definitely not.
Be honest: Since ‘Twilight’ came out, have you had more luck with the ladies?
I haven’t been using the name to it’s full potential, but I could probably work some magic with it.

Eddie Cullen, Milwaukee, Wis.

Human Age: 19
Has being named Edward Cullen turned you on to ‘Twilight’?
Nope. The opposite, actually.
Are you happy to share the heartthrob’s namesake, or wish he would go away?
It’s fine, but annoying at times. [My] Facebook profile got deleted once people didn’t think I was real.
What is the biggest downside to sharing the character’s name?
(See above).
Fictional Edward Cullen’s best asset?
I don’t know — being good-looking or something. Maybe sparkling?
Real-life Edward Cullen’s best asset?
People skills.
Has the on-screen Edward Cullen’s look had any influence on yours?
Nope! I stay away from looking like him, if anything.
Be honest: Since ‘Twilight’ came out, have you had more luck with the ladies?
[I've had] more luck, yes, I guess. It’s a good convo-starter.

wow, that is cool. loved their answers. though i feel sorry for them… some girls would prbly always compare them to the book edward.

i would love to interview these guys and ask them the same shit and memorize their faces so i wont get caught up with them..bahahahah

haha this is hilarious!!!!!!!

The first one, sounds like such a downer! These guys dont get it at all lol.

Its not the name…Edward could have beeing named something random or another name and he still would be a hit..its the personality everything that makes him that..If i honestly met one of these “Edward Cullens” I’ll be like “oh thats nice…next so?” LOL. hey that’s just me.

It would be very stupid for girls to compare them to the character Edward.. this is just my opinion by the way..dont mind me

and i also love how they quicly said no they are not into the series…hmmmm, interesting

Another thing i wanted to voice was that before twilight made it “big” more guys were willing to accept that they liked the series..but they always said the action part but they said they were fans..then when it became a “phenomenon” and someone somewhere started the “its for girls” thing they are afraid to say it now…interesting..just my observation of the evolution of twilight
