After all the Robsten/Robnisten drama that flows from E! Online's Ted Casablanca, we have finally gotten a statement that may be, in fact, very true.

Says TC,

"I think it's really relatable. Like, a lot of girls relate. I relate, wanting that perfect, wholesome, handsome, gentleman."

—New Moon babe Christian Serratos on why she thinks so many girls go gaga for the Twilight saga. Love that even the actress gets just as entranced as we all do by Rob's character. After all, he carries the damn movies, right?

The truth in the matter may be the fact that Edward Cullen (portrayed in the film(s) by Robert Pattinson) might just be the driving force behind Twilight fandom. Edward, that mysteriously attractive, thoughtful, and completely overwhelming character we got thrusted into loving by empathy and perspective by Stephenie Meyer (via her relatable protagonist Bella Swan (portrayed in the films by Kristen Stewart)) take the hearts and minds of a great deal of the Twilight fandom and keeps the viewers thirsty for more from the film series.

Though, that's not to say that there aren't a fair share of "Team Jacob-ites" out there too. Taylor Lautner's portrayal of Jacob Black has certainly become on to appreciate as he fits into the role more and more every day. Jacob, who is a constant fixture in the Twilight series, has his fair share of fans as well.

Nevertheless, the truth may hold - Edward Cullen is certainly one reason why the Twilight series is so popular, don't you think?
