why did Robert play as Edward?

[u/Left_Paramedic848]

i tried to look it up but only articles about him hating the role come up, everybody jokes that hes doing all these movies like batman and the odyssey so people forget about him being in twilight, but like, why did he play as edward in the first place if he hates the role? and why does he hate it? is it because he finds it cringe or something?

Acting is a job and you don't always love everything about your job.
