Benjamin Alves unearths photos from Twilight-inspired shoot with Alden Richards, Tippy Dos Santos
Benjamin Alves just unearthed a throwback photo with Alden Richards and Tippy Dos Santos channeling their inner Jacob Black, Edward Cullen, and Bella Swan from the "Twilight" films!
On Instagram, the Kapuso actor hopped on Cristopher Diwata's iconic "What hafen, Vella?" trend by sharing some snaps from the Twilight-inspired shoot photographed by Andrew Apuya years ago.
In the photos recreating the movie poster for "Twilight: New Moon," Benjamin and Tippy were facing each other while Alden, who was sporting a vampire makeup, stood behind them, creating the impression of a love triangle.
"What hafen Vela? I know, Alden ryt?" Benjamin wrote, referencing Cristopher's iconic line.
In the comment section, fellow celebrities such as Dingdong Dantes and Rhian Ramos can't help but poke fun at his post. Even Tippy herself joined the fun train commenting "Oh my gosh."
In 2013, Cristopher joined the "It's Showtime" segment "Kalokalike" as Taylor Lautner's "Twilight" character, Jacob Black.
Over a decade later, Cristopher went viral again and stamped his place in the Philippine internet's hall of fame for memes. TikTok users and even celebrities such have been dubbing and recreating his iconic lines: "What hafen, Vella? Why you cryin' again? I know, vampire, right? Vampire will feyt to me."
Since then, Cristopher has collaborated with several brands and Filipino artists, such as Ben&Ben, SB19, Sparkle stars Michael Sager and Barbie Forteza, "Unang Hirit" host Anjo Petierra and food content creator Abi Marquez a.k.a Lumpia Queen.
