Twilight fans might not recognise hunky vampire Kellan Lutz anymore as he looks very different 15 years after the first film came out.
The actor, now 38, is best known for having played vampire Emmett Cullen in the film series. He made his debut in the role in Twilight (2008) and returned in the four sequels, which concluded with Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2021).
Emmett was the husband of Rosalie Hale (played by Nikki Reed) and the adoptive brother of Edward Cullen (Robert Pattison). The family of vampires was led by Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli) and his wife Esme Cullen (Elizabeth Reaser).

Kellan had dark hair for the role, which he was sometimes seen sporting off-screen too. He also sported a clean-shaven look, along with a pale complexion, as the character. And he showcased a muscled physique playing Emmett.
