Jackson Rathbone
Jackson was born in 1986 and has two older sisters Ryann, Kelly, and one younger sister Brittany (Brea or Bee).
Quotes from Jackson:
I got my butt kicked a few times by my sisters. But I grew up so southern that my father would say, "You take it like a man." And I'd be like, "Oh, what? I'm 5!" But it was interesting. My dad always taught me to treat my girlfriends the way I wanted my sisters to be treated by their boyfriends. They always taught me a really wonderful level of respect that's not common these days.
When it comes to my sisters' boyfriends, I'm either cool with them or my sisters know that I hate them. I'm pretty blunt with them and to the point. Back in high school, there were a couple of boys my sisters had and man, I let them know I didn't like them. I was pretty upfront but my dad always had it right. Whenever my sisters brought them over to the house for the first time, he'd be teaching me how to clean the shotguns.
I taught my sisters how to fight.
(At what point he realized what a phenomena the books were.)
It was in increments. After I booked the project, I called my parents and let them know I was doing the film, and my mother was like, "Oh, the book Twilight, okay." And, she told my little sister, who's 13, and all of her friends love the book and were just going gaga over it. And then, my family read the books and they just fell in love with them. They burned through the first three within a week or two.
