The Twilight franchise defined an entire generation and fans loved the lead actors Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. The two bonded on the sets and fans couldn’t stop heaping praises over their deep-rooted love for each other. Now, ten years after they split, Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke recently revealed that Kristen had gatecrashed Robert's 37th birthday celebration a few months ago, specifically during his birthday month of May.
The director of the 2008 hit series, recently appeared on Monday’s podcast episode of Happy Sad Confused. During a conversation in the podcast, Catherine said that she and the actress Toni Collette attended Robert's party without receiving an invitation and that they later learned that Stewart had done the same.

Sharing the details, Catherine Hardwicke shared, “Strangely enough, I went to Rob’s birthday party recently. I kinda crashed with my friend Toni Collette, who had just done a movie with him.”
For the unversed, Toni collaborated with the Twilight fame for the movie Mickey 17 scheduled to release in 2024.
Stating that their unplanned reunion was a blast for everyone, she said, “We had a fun thing, and then Kristen crashed it too. That was just a few months ago, and it was just like, ‘Oh my god!’ We all hugged each other — like, this is so crazy and cool.”
Catherine tried her best to recall the details, from Kristen ringing the doorbell to check if anyone was home, to Robert warmly welcoming her inside, and Kristen's surprised expression upon seeing the filmmaker.
Interestingly, the unexpected reunion turned out to be a memorable moment for the cast of Twilight.
“When Kristen walked into Rob’s birthday, she’s like, ‘Catherine? Rob’s birthday? What’s going on?'” she continued. “I go, ‘I kinda crashed it with Toni.’ And she goes, ‘Well, I crashed it too.'”
For the unaware, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were romantically linked from 2009 to 2013, mirroring their on-screen character growth. However, in July 2012, Stewart was seen kissing director Rupert Sanders putting a strain on their relationship.
Later a source revealed to People, “She wasn’t having an affair with Rupert. It was just a fleeting moment that shouldn’t have happened. She never meant to hurt anyone. She’s a good person who just made a bad choice.” ALSO READ | Robert Pattinson Had To Swear On A Bible To Maintain Safe Distance From His Twilight Co-Star Kristen Stewart
