On August 11th, one of our readers, Ashley, met Peter Facinelli in Vancouver where he is filming the third movie in The Twilight Saga, Eclipse. Here’s what happened:
My family and I ended up going to Vancouver for an early birthday present for me. The night after we arrived we were walking around in downtown Vancouver and I told my sister to keep her eyes open because we might have a chance of seeing a Twilight Star. Of course, I knew that the odds of that happening were very slim, but I was wrong. As we were walking downtown, a man passed by us and he looked very familiar to me. I look at my sister and said, “that was Peter”. Sure enough he looked back and we got confirmation.
After telling my dad who it was we bolted after him we had to cross the crosswalk because we didn’t want to lose him. Once we caught up to him we noticed he was on his phone so we waited for him to get off. My sister gets up the courage and goes “Mr. Facinelli” and sure enough it was him.
I can say that I almost passed out at the sight of him. Peter was very sweet, we asked him for pictures and he took them with us, he even asked how they came out and looked at them. Once my dad was able to catch up with us he told Peter how we were such big fans and he asked us if we were excited for New Moon and of coarse we said yes. After talking to him for a few minutes we decided it was time to go.
Peter ended up giving me two hugs which I still cant help but smile over and then he told my dad that he has a “very sweet family”. After that my sister and I started to walk off. My dad then told us as Peter was leaving, he turned around and looked at us once more and of course he had to catch us as we were jumping up and down. Mr.Facinelli , thank you for making this vacation special!

Too bad this photo looks photoshopped to the max. I don’t buy it! 🙂
it’s prob because i ended up using picnik so that I could edit it for facebook, but thats the real deal. look around you wont see that picture of him anywhere else 🙂
Awesome pic Ashley! Congrats:-)
I believe it’s real, you’re so lucky Ashley! I love Peter, and his wife Jennie Garth, they are such family people theirselves so it’s really typical for Peter to say that to your dad. He is the sweetest to fans, also on his twitter.
it does look photoshopped….and i live across the street from that corner – that’s the starbucks next to the scotitheatre.
