Our favorite sparkly vampire turns 109 today (June 20th, to be exact)! Yes, we all know he’s a fictional character but honestly, what’s wrong with having a little fun? A big congrats to Mr. Cullen from the staff and we’ll throw in a happy fathers day too!

Leave him some love in the comments.

Moviefone spoke to some real life people who have the name Edward Cullen.

“It may come as a shock for some fans, but not every Edward Cullen can kill with his teeth, fly without a plane ticket or create such a fabulous coif. There’s a whole pack of real-life guys who share the character’s name — and manage their parallel reputations. As the saga’s third installment, ‘Eclipse,’ nears release (the film is set to arrive June 30), Moviefone looked to a handful of real Edward Cullens (via e-mail) to see what it’s like to be a mere mortal with a world-famous vampire’s name.”

Vampires are swarming like bats out of you-know-where, especially the mega-popular book-to-screen vamps of “Twilight,” “True Blood” and “The Vampire Diaries.” With more than 70 million books sold, Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series is a full-fledged phenomenon, particularly among teens. The first “Twilight” movie adaptation grossed nearly $200 million in theaters last fall, which bodes well for next month’s sequel, “New Moon.” “True Blood,” based on Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels, completed its second season in September and is HBO’s second-most-watched series ever, behind The Sopranos. And more people watched the debut episode of CW’s “The Vampire Diaries” than any premiere in the network’s history.
