With over 3.2 million stories, Wattpad is the world’s most popular community of readers and writers.
We’re always on the lookout for more ways to inspire and engage our MILLIONS of users! This past week, we hosted a contest for a chance to meet Peter Facinelli, who famously plays Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight Saga:
The Wattpad team went out to the grand opening of Tanger Outlets in Cookstown, ON on May 20, 2012 to interview Twilight star Peter Facinelli.
We were lucky enough to snag a few minutes with Peter, aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen, to interview him about fan fiction (Still Dawn is still the most popular Twilight fanfic on Wattpad with over 2 million reads!), his upcoming projects, and the genres he would like to try next in film making.
Watch out for our video interview with Peter Facinelli tomorrow!
Having played Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight Saga for many years, Peter knows first hand how intense the Twilight fandom can get. He was nothing less than gracious in greeting all the enthusiastic fans who came to see him at the VIP Reception in Cookstown.
We found Peter very friendly and approachable with everyone. One woman drove 4 hours just to see him that day, and Peter gladly gave her a kiss on each cheek to thank her for coming!
Our Wattpad 24-hour contest grand prize winner, Jill Kneeshaw, and her daughter Leah also got the chance to personally meet Peter Facinelli and Wattpad’s head of Community Engagement, Eva Lau.
We’re very grateful to Peter for signing a TON of Wattpad swag for us. We can’t wait to mail these Wattpad shirts and tote bags to our contest winner and 4 runner-ups!
