Life Beyond Twilight

Rob Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart aren't the only ones ditching their fangs! Check out who scored an Oscar nod, who modeled underwear and more!

ANNA KENDRICK

"I remember the first year I was here, driving out to the house of the only friend I had in L.A. to watch the Oscars," says Kendrick, 24, who plays Bella's best pal in the vampy series. One turn as George Clooney's sidekick in Up in the Air and – voilà – she was nominated for one, landing a Best Supporting Actress nod!

ASHLEY GREENE

She's starring in the comedy Butter alongside Jennifer Garner, has played an '80s teen in the Sundance-screened Skateland (pictured), and recently wrapped the drama Warrior with Kellan Lutz – but she says no on-set chemistry can rival the Twilight cast's. "There are lots of game nights and dinners cooked at home," says Greene, 23.

PETER FACINELLI

Last fall Facinelli, 36, shuttled between two white-coat gigs – playing Dr. Carlisle Cullen inEclipse and Nurse Jackie's arrogant Dr. Cooper. But there was no time for jet lag. "There was this rivalry of who's gonna work out the most," he says of the Eclipse mind-set. "I remember going to the gym, and Kellan [Lutz] was waiting for the elevator doing push-ups! I was like, 'Okay, man. You win!'"

JACKSON RATHBONE

It will be a busy summer for Rathbone, 25, who's also in M. Night Shyamalan's epic fantasy The Last Airbender and touring with his band 100 Monkeys. Of his Eclipse role as the manipulative Jasper, he says, "I got to do a nice scene with Kristen," adding that the two stars share another passion: "Kristen can definitely wail on guitar."

NIKKI REED

Next appearing in the horror movie Chain Letter, Reed, 22, recalls the long hours spent on-set shooting Eclipse. "We were doing too much in too little time," she says. "It felt like we were shooting an independent film." As for the challenge of playing her Twilight vamp, Rosalie Hale, she says, "It's a skill to act like cold stones – I want a hug all the time."

KELLAN LUTZ

Since New Moon, Lutz, 25, has lived out a dream: starring in a Calvin Klein underwear campaign. "I started out modeling, so this is the pinnacle," he says. He also appeared in April's A Nightmare on Elm Street and plays a Greek god in next year's Immortals.
