Simon and George Cullen have a rare disease similar to vampirism, which gives them characteristic traits similar to vampires. Simon, 13, and his brother George, 11 both suffer from Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED), an extremely rare condition also known as 'vampirism' that only affects 7,000 worldwide. The brothers blister after minutes in the sun because of their vampirism condition and have sharp pointed fang-like teeth that make them look a little like vampires - they also cannot sweat and are very pale. The boys, who live with mum Mandy and dad John, both 45, also share a name with another famous Vampire - Edward Cullen, from the Twilight series.
