Twilight's oddball Jasper looks completely different 15 years after first film

Jackson Rathbone looks quite different from his role in the Twilight film series more than a decade after the final instalment was released,

The actor, now 38, is best known for having played vampire Jasper Hale in the film series, starring in all five instalments from Twilight (2008) to Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012).

Jasper was the brother of Edward Cullen (played by Robert Pattison). The family also included their parents Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli) and Esme Cullen (Elizabeth Reaser).

The character at times struggled to control his bloodlust for humans, especially for Edward's future wife Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), and he fought alongside his family.

Jackson sported honey-blonde hair and was clean-shaven for the role, though he modelled a darker hairstyle off-screen at times whilst promoting the beloved film series.

He looks worlds away from the character in recent photos, having kept a darker hair colour, grown a beard and added to his tattoo collection in the years since playing Jasper.

One photo shared last month showed him holding a trophy that "congrats on adulting" whilst inside a store. He teased in the accompanying caption: "My kids gave me this ..."

Jackson shares three children with his wife Sheila Rathbone, whom he married in 2013. The married couple are parents to Monroe, eleven, Presley, seven, and Felix, three.

Another photo, uploaded a few months ago, showed Jackson seemingly at a gym. Some of his tattoos and his muscled physique were on display as he wore a tank top.

He also shared some photos recently ahead of attending a convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with the actor no stranger to being a guest at such conferences.

Jackson first played the character Jasper in Twilight (2008). The film - which was based on the novel of the same name by author Stephenie Meyer - was followed by four sequels.

The actor reprised his role in New Moon (2009) and Eclipse (2010), returning alongside many of his co-stars, including Ashley Greene, who played Alice Cullen in the film series.

He also played the character in the most recent sequels Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011) and Part 2 (2012), which are currently the last instalments in the beloved franchise.

He's also a producer and a musician, having been a member of the band 100 Monkeys from around 2008 until 2012, which was alongside his role in the Twilight film series.
