Peter Facinelli reveals Halloween costume

Peter Facinelli plans to wear a fireman costume this Halloween because dressing up as his Twilight character takes too long.

The American star loves portraying Carlisle Cullen in the vampire franchise, but prefers to leave the character on set. He has been known to don a Carlisle costume for the spooky holiday in the past, but has decided on something a bit easier this time round.

“No, I've been doing that for the last five years," he explained. "You think Carlisle's the easy route, but Carlisle takes hours and hours of work. I think I'm going to go as a fireman this year.”

Dressing as a fire-fighter wasn’t Peter’s first choice.

He has three daughters with his wife Jennie Garth and was hoping to make Halloween a family affair.

“I wanted to be the chipmunks [from Alvin and the Chipmunks] because I have three daughters, so I thought it'd be fun for them to be the Chipettes and for me to be Dave. But you can't control what they want to be...They always at the last minute change their costume to something else,” he told E! Online.

Luca, 14, Lola, eight, and five-year-old Fiona have grand plans when it comes to their costumes. At the moment only Peter’s eldest daughter has told the 37-year-old what she has in store, and he’s looking forward to seeing them all dressed up.

“I think my oldest said she wanted to be a Stepford wife,” he laughed.
