We Used AI To Show What "Twilight" Characters Would Look Like In Real Life Based On The Books, And Emmett Looks Incredibly Huggable

Finally, here's the Carlisle we deserved.

When a book is adapted into a movie, the cast doesn't always match perfectly to what you imagined while reading the book. So we used AI to bring Twilight characters to life based on how they're described in the books.

Using Artbreeder, we basically morphed together some existing faces that resemble the character and then added specific traits described in the book. Here are the Twilight book characters, plus their movie counterparts for comparison:

1. Here's Bella Swan based on how she's described by Stephenie Meyer:
