Yes, Robert Pattinson Is Responsible for that 'Spider-Monkey' Moment in Twilight

In the first installment of the Twilight franchise, an iconic phrase is uttered by Edward Cullen (played by Robert Pattison), where he says Hold on tight, spider-monkey right before using vampire super speed to usher him and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) up a mountain. The moment has been meme-ified a thousand times over by devoted fans (also haters), and its origins have surfaced.
IndieWire revealed that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, at Comic Con 2023, that Robert Pattinson himself selected the line out of a batch. While the movie definitely deals with the supernatural, its romance at its core, so a lot of the interactions rely on body language and chemistry between actors. On the fly, Hardwicke decided Stewart and Pattinson needed some more verbal exchanges during scenes.
