Taylor Harris, who is suffering from leukaemia, met actor Bronson Pelletier from soon-to-be-released Twilight: New Moon at the Rendezvous Hotel in a meeting organised by charities and Hoyts Cinemas.
Taylor was in awe at meeting her favourite character in the vampire romance series, the wildest of a pack of wolves.
“I’m kind of, like, star-struck,” she said.
She had been left speechless the previous day when she found out about the meeting, she said.
According to Taylor, her mother Jacqui had also perked up in preparation for the meeting with the wild wolf, finding shirtless photos of Pelletier on Google.
Mrs Harris said the meeting had been the highlight of an otherwise grim year for Taylor.
“It’s the most animated I’ve seen her since her diagnosis. She didn’t quite know what to say. She was beside herself.”
Taylor had been diagnosed with leukaemia early this year and began bi-weekly chemotherapy treatments at the end of May.
The treatments had been taking a toll on Taylor, Mrs Harris said.
“She’s had her moments. After chemo she feels sick and very tired. There’s not a lot to look forward to. It’s one week of chemo, one week off. Sometimes she doesn’t ever feel well for a while.”
