Today is the 25th birthday of the talented and gorgeous Robert Pattinson! From the staff here at Twilight Dazzles, we would like to wish him a very Happy Birthday!

Ashley Greene sat down with NextMovie to talk about her new movie, Skateland, and while she was there, even chatted a bit about Breaking Dawn. Ashley tells NextMovie how she and most of the vampire cast wanted to do most of their own stunts, and pushed themselves to do as much as they were physically allowed to do. Read more below:

When NextMovie sat down to discuss her upcoming film, “Skateland,” she confessed that she and the rest of gang — yep, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner too — were ambitious when it came to doing their own daring battle tricks for “Breaking Dawn.”

“They’re working with special effects but actually our cast as a whole is pretty athletic,” she tells NextMovie exclusively. “Everyone really wants to be able to do their own stunts. We all worked really hard to do as much as production would possibly allow us do insurance-wise.

“A lot of what you see will actually be us doing it.”
