Bryce Dallas Howard: Ageing Like a Fine Vampire... Unlike Some (cough Edward Cullen cough)
Let's face it, the "Twilight" saga left us with many burning questions. Was Edward creepy or dreamy? Team Jacob or Team Edward (let's be honest, this one wasn't even a contest)? But perhaps the most perplexing question of all: How old was Bryce Dallas Howard in "Twilight" (or rather, "Eclipse," since she wasn't in the first two films)?
Fear not, Twi-hards (and curious minds alike), because we're about to dive down this shimmering rabbit hole of vampire timelines and Hollywood age defiance.
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.

| How Old Was Bryce Dallas Howard In Twilight |
Spoiler Alert: She Wasn't Exactly School Shopping
Bryce Dallas Howard was born in 1981, making her a sprightly 29 years old when "Eclipse" hit theaters in 2010. Now, you might be thinking, "Wait a minute, didn't she play Victoria, the rogue vampire?" Absolutely! And here's where things get interesting.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Victoria, in vampire years, is practically a toddler. Unlike the sparkly Cullens who seem to be stuck on permanent "teen heartthrob," vampires can apparently age… slowly. Like, really slowly. This means Victoria could be centuries old, flitting around the world with a permanent case of teenage angst.
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.

The Age of Mystery: Victoria's Undying Youth (or Lack Thereof)
The "Twilight" books offer zero crumbs of comfort when it comes to Victoria's age. We never get a birth year, a tragic vampire transformation story, or any hint of how long she's been lurking in the shadows. This opens the door to some truly hilarious possibilities:
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
- Maybe Victoria got stuck in a vampire finishing school and never graduated, hence the emotional maturity of a thirteen-year-old.
- Perhaps vampire years are calculated differently. You know, like dog years, but way, way more dramatic. In vampire years, 29 is practically ancient.
- Or, the most likely scenario: the writers just didn't think that hard about it. Let's be honest, sparkly vampires and forbidden love were probably priority number one.
Regardless of the reason, Bryce Dallas Howard slayed the role (pun intended) at 29, proving that age is just a number, especially when you're a bloodsucking immortal with a vendetta.
So, the next time you rewatch "Eclipse," take a moment to appreciate the ageless wonder that is Bryce Dallas Howard (and maybe ponder the existential crisis of a forever-young vampire).
