Calling all Team Jacob fans! Someone woke up and chose a controlling egotistical vampire over a sweet lovable werewolf! And it’s none other than the actor who played the original Twilight vampire himself, Robert Pattinson—and he’s boldly dropping these fighting words, “No one’s Team Jacob!”
In a recent presser for the upcoming movie The Drama, also starring Zendaya, the interviewer asks the two actors, “Team Jacob or Team Edward?”
Zendaya claims, “Team Edward. All day. Let’s go.” And it’s fine. She is sitting next to the “Edward” actor, so what’s she supposed to say? Plus, everyone knows she actually likes nice guys so she’s really Team Jacob …
Then Pattison launches some real emotional damage on loyal Twi-hards, laughing and saying, “No one’s Team Jacob! Like, that was just a marketing thing!”
The Stephenie Meyer Twilight Saga book series-turned-movie-quadrilogy took the entertainment world by storm in the mid and late 2000s. The story, in part, follows the love triangle between teenager Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), an 108-year-old vampire named Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and werewolf named Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). As fandom grew, there was an ongoing split between fans who claimed they were either Team Edward and fans who were Team Jacob.
Anyway, all joking aside, Rob, we love you, but you’re wrong. In fact, the interviewer proves Jacob fans are still ride-or-dying for the story’s top dog Jacob (even though, for reasons we won’t spoil here, it’s ultimately a very positive thing that Bella chooses who she chooses).
