Emmett Cullen (born Emmett McCarty) is a fictional character in Twilight, a young adult series written by author Stephenie Meyer.

Personal History

Emmett was changed into a vampire by Carlisle Cullen in 1935 when he was 20, two years after Rosalie Hale had been changed. Emmett was up hunting in the mountains of Tennessee when he was mauled by a bear. He had nearly died from the attack before Rosalie found him and carried him over a hundred miles back to Carlisle, who turned him into a vampire in an effort to save his life. Emmett describes this experience as being saved by an angel who brought him to God. In Eclipse, Rosalie confesses to Bella that she saved Emmett from death because his innocent appearance reminded her of her best friend's child, Henry.

After the painful process of changing ended, Rosalie and Carlisle explained to him that he was now a vampire. This did not upset Emmett, however, as Rosalie and Carlisle had thought it would. He put in his own words, "But if Carlisle and Rosalie, my angel, were vampires, how bad could it be?" He did, however, have trouble adjusting to the "vegetarian" rules of the Cullen family at first, and has tasted human blood on several occasions.

Physical Appearance

Emmett is described as being very tall, burly, and muscular, and- to most humans- the most intimidating of his adoptive siblings. Standing at 6'5, he is the tallest of the Cullens. He has a round face with dimples and slightly curly, black hair, giving him a childish look. Like the rest of the Cullens, he has pale skin and golden eyes. Bella describes him as like a big teddy bear.

Romantic Relationships

Rosalie Hale

Rosalie is Emmett's wife and true love, and they've been in love ever since Rosalie saved Emmett's life. They are officially married, and sometimes live away from their family as a married couple.

Movie Portrayal

In February of 2008, Kellan Lutz was cast to portray Emmett in the upcoming Twilight film.

The movie will portray Emmett as having a shaved head rather than dark, curly hair, like in the book. This is due to Kellan's previous role in Generation Kill requiring a short haircut, and the hair not growing fast enough.
