In essence, when good things happen to you then you start to worry sometimes. That’s what happened with the Twilight Saga star. He decided that too much was going his way and that God had given him too much happiness and he wasn’t going to see his thirtieth birthday.
According to sources this overnight success essentially caused himself to predict his own death. Thinking he would be dead before he even hit 30. He spoke as if he had a conversation with God or something and said he shouldn’t have asked for so much. During an interview he did admit he took a prescription medication for his anxiety during the filming of the very first Twilight. He knew it was going to be a long day and a long audition. He was doing a screen test and it was at the director’s house of all places.
Apparently before he started to leave he started to panic in the sense that now what if he really did get the part. Which we all know he did. That’s how new actors can react sometimes. They are so uncertain with their own acting abilities they start to second guess themselves. The hardest part for the first Twilight was the kissing scenes. But by the time he got to the Twilight Saga Eclipse he was fine with kissing Kirsten. This installment of the Twilight saga series was a lot easier and the first time he admits they could really act like a normal couple on screen.
As for dying before he is 30 he still isn’t sure, he claims his fame is shooting up way to fast and he has been successful from the start. Everyone loves the Cullens in the movie and everyone loves Edward. His character as Edward has also taught him patience. And although he doesn’t think he will die before he is thirty, whatever path of success he is on sure feels good to him.
