In the era of TikTok, Alice Cullen has become a symbol for gay awakenings, and the actress behind her is taking her new title — and the Twilight resurgence — in stride.

Nearly 14 years after the series premiered in 2008, the Twilight standom is stronger than ever — thanks to the saga’s debut on streaming platforms and the TikTok thirst traps (see: Alice Cullen baseball pitch) and fan reenactments that followed. Its release on Netflix in 2021 thrust the films back into the pop culture zeitgeist and was one of the few things that brought solace during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown. Maybe it was nostalgia for simpler times (in the early 2000s, my 7th-grade self’s main worry was deciding if I was Team Edward or Team Jacob), before the world descended into virus-spreading, politically fueled madness. But Twilight movie marathons and those “Where the hell have you been, Loca?” memes have returned, plopping us right back into the fantasy world of Forks, Washington, and providing an escape from our own dreadful, pandemic-surging reality, even if just for a moment.

Ashley Greene Khoury, who played vegetarian-vampire-turned-gay-icon, Alice Cullen, heard the fans and capitalized on the Cullen craze by launching a podcast, The Twilight Effect, a deep dive into the making of the movies with guest appearances from all your favorite cast members, like Kellan Lutz (who played Emmet Cullen) and Billy Burke (Bella’s completely oblivious father, Charlie Swan). After attending a fan convention, reuniting with some co-stars, and reminiscing about her time as the future-sighted good vamp, the mom-to-be (she’s expecting her first child with husband Paul Khoury) knew she wasn’t done talking about the films.

The Movie Saga You Were Obsessed with in 2009 Has the Best Social Media on the Internet Right Now
“I have reconnected with a lot of fans and had a lot of really meaningful conversations with them because Twilight acted as this escape for them during the pandemic when they were going through a lot of really heavy things,” Greene explains to me over Zoom from her Los Angeles home. “That’s really special.”

In the era of meme culture, it’s become evident that others connected with Alice on a deeper, more personal level, crediting her with their gay sexual awakening. Fans made Alice TikToks and memes (with an emphasis on the sexy baseball scene from the first movie) to let us know that we had been fantasizing about the wrong vampire all along. And the sentiment resonated with the Internet and Greene, who says she totally sees it now.

Ashley heeft tijdens haar vakantie een interview gedaan met The Daily Telegraph/Herald Sun tijdens haar vakantie. Hier praat ze over een evt. reboot van de ‘Twilight’ films. Ze laat weten dat de mogelijkheid er ooit wel zou zijn, maar het nu nog te snel is. Ze ziet voor zichzelf niet echt een rol weggelegd in een evt. reboot omdat het lastig zal worden een onsterfelijk vampier te spelen nu ze al 10 jaar ouder is sinds de eerst film uit kwam.

HOLLYWOOD starlet Ashley Greene says her Twilight days are more than likely behind her, as she prepares to welcome the dawn of a new year in Sydney.

The 29-year-old believes it is too soon to reboot the cult vampire franchise. “Is there a chance that they eventually do some kind of reboot? Of course,” said Greene, who will celebrate New Year’s Eve at The Star’s world famous Marquee nightclub.

“I feel it’s a bit soon just now but it is a definite possibility.

“With the original cast involved, I don’t know simply because we are 10 years older and we are supposed to be non-ageing vampires.”

Greene is travelling with a group of friends and family, including her mum Michele who will celebrate her 50th birthday at Marquee tomorrow night.

As for resolutions, Greene says she wants to visit us again soon: “After two days here, we already want to come back to see the Great Barrier Reef.”

The actress (and our April cover girl) loves going hard on her workouts—the woman climbs 4,000 feet three times a week and pushes a 100-pound sled around the gym. Still, don’t ask her to give up cheese. Or grits. Or chocolate.

The actress and fitness fanatic, best known for playing Alice Cullen in the Twilight movies, and who now stars in the DirecTV crime drama Rogue, is hooked on an intense climbing routine that she credits with making her stronger than she has ever been. “It’s an insane full-body workout that gets your cardiovascular levels very high very quickly,” Greene, 29, says. “It really pushes you, but it’s so fun that it’s addictive.” She’s not exaggerating—she just completed a challenge in which she did the workout every day for 31 days straight. “I wanted to increase my strength and endurance and prove to myself that I could do it,” she explains. Three philosophies guided Greene to her victory and continue to help her move forward toward even bigger fitness goals—and the good life in general. She runs us through them.

Over a crazy-hard hike, Twilight star Ashley Greene talks getting strong without bulking up, staying body positive in a critical world—and actually liking to hear the word no.

“This is the part I was telling you about,” Ashley Greene says, pointing down at the canyon below. We’re hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains, high above the fast-paced world of Hollywood, and the views at the top are stunning: clusters of lavish homes, lush trees and a blue sky that looks like it came straight out of a Crayola box.

It doesn’t hurt that it’s a perfect, 84-degrees-and-sunny California day, and that up here, it’s just us, a dusty trail and a few random hikers who don’t seem to recognize that there’s a movie star in their midst. There are also no paparazzi—only a guy and his big, fluffy dog, which Ashley (who has four dogs of her own) stops to pet. “Hey, cutie,” she says, scratching the dog’s head before heading back uphill.

This hiking trail, located less than 10 minutes from her home, is a regular part of the 28-year-old’s fitness regimen and a place she comes to clear her head. “Part of working out for me is having the ability to break away from all the stresses of the day,” she says. “Up here, it’s so pretty—you feel like you’re not in L.A. at all.” Then she adds with a laugh, “Don’t give away the location!”

It makes sense that sporty Ashley—who, fittingly, is the face of Oakley women’s eyewear—needs a private escape from the daily pressures of her acting career. In 2005, when she was just 17, she left her mom, dad and brother in Jacksonville, Fla., and moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. In 2007, she hit the jackpot by landing her best-known role to date: Alice Cullen in the Twilight saga, a part she went on to play in five blockbuster movies released over five years. In her latest film, Burying the Ex, she plays Evelyn, a girlfriend from hell “who also happens to be a zombie. Evelyn just takes it to the extreme,” she says—and when it comes to her workouts, so does Ashley, considering that an hour and a half into our hike, she has barely broken a sweat.
