Twilight fans have been commenting on how 'cringe' the movie is after a deleted scene from the 2008 film started doing the rounds on social media again recently.

The scene in question involves an awkward interaction between Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) when she goes home with him for the first time and is given a tour of where he lives.

The bedroom scene does feature in the final cut of the film, which has come to gross $393.6 million worldwide, but there's a portion of the conversation between vampire Edward and schoolgirl Bella that was not left in, and it's clear to see why.

In a video shared on Instagram by user @corinnieeeee, who regularly dissects the Twilight franchise, she can be heard telling viewers: 'I suppose we have to revisit what I consider the second most cringe Twilight deleted scene, the infamous chinchilla dropping scene. Again, be warned this is extremely cringe.'

The extended version of the scene shows Bella inspecting Edward's 'cool' bedroom and mentioning random items, including journals and his music collection, when she picks up a rain stick.

'I used to make these. I had a chinchilla and me and my mom used to make these out of the chinchilla’s droppings and like paper towel rolls,' Bella tells Edward awkwardly, before adding: 'Maybe that’s weird.'

Corinne then comes back into view and tells her followers: 'My biggest takeaway from that scene has always been who has ever said that or done that and thought that that would be a good thing to include in this film?

'Because once again, that particular detail about the chinchilla droppings, that's not something we can blame Stephanie Meyer for, that's a Catherine Hardwicke original, that wasn't even in the book!' she adds, referring to the author of the book and then the director of the movie.

'So I just need to know why. Yes, I do think this one is slightly easier to watch than the finger biting scene. This one is kinda funny, but what is the face he makes after that? Like why were you doing that?!'

Corinne's followers were quick to comment on the video, as one person wrote: 'Wtf did you make me watch.... Whyyyyyyyy?????? So cringe,' while another said: 'Wait, I’ve never seen this. You’re right, it’s beyond cringey.'

A third person commented: 'This is so cringe and that's saying something seeing as the entire film is cringe,' and a fourth joked: 'That's the best part of the scene, though.'

Referring to Robert's face, someone joked: 'He's seriously rethinking his decision,' and another said: 'That man looks like he's questioning every choice that lead to him taking this role.'

Another Instagram user pointed out: 'This is why editing is such a key part of the film making process!!! Thank you to the person who omitted half of this scene.'

Earlier this year, Kristen branded Twilight a 'gay movie' during an interview with Variety as she looked back over her career.

The 34-year-old star revealed that she now recognizes 'queerness' in her Twilight franchise and expressed her disdain for filming Charlie's Angels.

'I can only see it now, I don’t think it necessarily started off that way, but I also think that the fact that I was there at all, it was percolating,' the star, who came out in 2017, said of the 2008 teen vampire romance. 'It’s such a gay movie.'

As for Elizabeth Banks' 2019 reboot of Charlie's Angels, Kristen didn't mince words either, admitting, 'I hated making that movie. I don’t know what else to say'.
