Emmet Cullen... who?

I just realized something recently. Over the course of all four books, the author delved into the personalities and past lives of the vampires, all except one: Emmet Cullen. What do we know about him aside from his super strength, his friendliness, his testosterone sense of competitiveness, and his penchant for giving bear hugs? Or did I just forget a portion of the book that explained his story? If I didn't forget, and Emmet was, in fact, forgotten in the book series, then I believe it's a right shame. He has quite the potential to be an even more lovable vampire, if we knew the troubling history behind him, the fears he harbors behind his always cheerful mask.

Please comment if you can shed some light on this.

Kellan Lutz / Emmett Cullen in a Hilary Duff music video

I'd like to thank my friend for giving me this interesting trivia. It turns out that the actor portraying Twilight's Emmett Cullen, Kellan Lutz, showed in Hilary Duff's 2007 music video of "With Love". This ex-Abercrombie and Fitch model looks even cuter with blond hair:



The first two pictures above are from the music video. The last one is him as the vampire, Emmett Cullen. Only less than 5 months before the Twilight movie shows!
