Twilight fans have reacted to how “cringe-inducing” the film is after a deleted scene from the 2008 film recently made the rounds again on social media.
The scene in question involves an awkward interaction between Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) when she goes home with him for the first time and gets a tour of where he lives.
The bedroom scene does appear in the final cut of the film, which grossed $393.6 million worldwide, but there’s one part of the conversation between vampire Edward and schoolgirl Bella that was left out, and it’s clear why.
In a video shared to Instagram by user @corinnieeeee, who regularly dissects the Twilight franchise, she can be heard telling viewers, “I guess we need to rewatch what I consider to be the second most cringe-worthy by Twilight deleted scene, the infamous chinchilla dropping scene. Again, be warned: this is cringe in the extreme.”
The extended version of the scene shows Bella inspecting Edward’s “cool” bedroom and mentioning random items, including diaries and his music collection, when she picks up a rain wand.

Instagram user @corinnieeee posted a deleted scene to her profile and people were quick to label it “cringe”
‘I used to make this. “I had a chinchilla and my mom and I used to make these out of chinchilla feces and paper towel rolls,” Bella says awkwardly to Edward, before adding, “Maybe that’s weird.”
Corinne then reenters the picture and tells her followers, “My biggest takeaway from that scene has always been: who ever said or did that and thought it would be good to include it in this movie?
‘Because again, that particular detail about the chinchilla feces, that’s not something we can blame Stephanie Meyer for, that’s a Catherine Hardwicke original, that wasn’t even in the book!’ she adds, referring to the book’s author and then the film’s director.
“So I just need to know why. Yeah, I think this one is a little easier to watch than the finger biting scene. This one is pretty funny, but what’s the face he makes next? Like, why did you do that?!”
Corinne’s followers were quick to comment on the video, as one wrote: ‘Wtf did you make me watch… Whyyyyyyyy?????? So cringe,” while another said, “Wait, I’ve never seen this before. You’re right, it’s more than cringey.’
A third person commented: “This is so cringe and that’s saying something considering the whole movie is cringe,” and a fourth joked: “That’s the best part of the scene though.”
Referring to Robert’s face, one joked, “He’s seriously reconsidering his decision,” and another said, “That man looks like he’s questioning every choice that led to him taking on this role.”
Another Instagram user commented: ‘This is why editing is such an important part of the filmmaking process!!! Thanks to whoever left out half of this scene.”
In the deleted scene, Bella picks up a rain stick and tells Edward that she made it with “chinchilla feces and paper towel rolls.”
The first Twilight film was very popular with fans and grossed $393.6 million worldwide
Earlier this year, Kristen labeled Twilight as a “gay movie” during an interview with Twilight Variety as she reflected on her career.
The 34-year-old star revealed she now recognizes “queerness” in her Twilight franchise and expressed her disdain for the filming of Charlie’s Angels.
“I can only see it now, I don’t think it necessarily started that way, but I also think the fact that I was there at all trickled down,” the star, who came out in 2017, said of the 2008 teen vampire romance .’It’s such a gay movie.’
As for Elizabeth Banks’ 2019 reboot of Charlie’s Angels, Kristen didn’t mince her words either, admitting, “I hated making that movie.” I don’t know what else to say.”
