The first film in the 'Twilight' saga came out ten whole years ago, in November 2008. In the past decade the actors of the franchise have had plenty of time to reinvent their careers (as many of them deeply hoped to do), for example, with the stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson taking a turn towards directing. This complete change of tune has also taken place for many of the other actors in the young vampire franchise, to such an extent that Anna Kendrick literally managed to forget that she had ever had a role in 'Twilight'.
Kendrick, nominated for an Oscar in 2010 for her role in 'Up in the Air' and known as the star in the groundbreaking 'Pitch Perfect' franchise, played the role of Jessica Stanley in 'Twilight', the good friend of Bella Swan. She recently tweeted, in a sudden epiphany, "Holy shit. I just remembered I was in Twilight." Kendrick appeared in four of the five films in the saga ('Twilight', 'New Moon', 'Eclipse', and 'Breaking Dawn: Part 1') and, although her role was only secondary, filming four blockbusters takes up a significant proportion of time... so the experience must have been impressively mediocre for the actress to actually have forgotten her part in the beloved franchise.
However, Kendrick is not the only one who forgot about her participation in these films. Many fans were taking advantage of the ten year anniversary of the first film to go back and watch it and, like the actress who played her, the character of Jessica had completely disappeared from many of their memories. Anna Kendrick's role seems to pertain to a collective amnesia.
Honestly spooky bc I'm watching twilight for the first time in years and just said "oh wow I forgot Anna Kendrick was in twilight" out loud to myself https://t.co/r8uUGgEJmR

Does Anyone Remember Rami Malek's role?
Another surprising famous face also appeared in the saga; Rami Malek, famous for his role in 'Mr. Robot' and also recently in pursuit of an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Freddie Mercury in 'Bohemian Rhapsody', played the role of Benjamin in 'Breaking Dawn: Part 2'. His role might be even less recognised and remembered than Kendrick's!
My brain goes through a WILD rollercoaster ride & threatens to short-circuit whenever i realise that anna kendrick and rami malek were involved in the twilight franchise https://t.co/q9sQcjOEBe
