Twilight star Ashley Greene’s ex-boyfriend has missed out on a vampire role in the movie franchise’s third film.

Former Desperate Housewives star Josh Henderson has confirmed he auditioned for the role of Riley in Eclipse, but lost out to newcomer Xavier Samuel.

And he admits his ex fought for him to get the role: “I talked to Ashley about potentially being the new, college, all-American character that’s a vampire in the third one. I went for a few auditions, but they went with an Australian kid.”

Think he would’ve made a hot vamp?
