10 Things You Don't Know About Robert Pattinson

By Cosmopolitan

True to form, the mysterious R-Pattz is difficult to find dirt about. But we managed to find some interesting tidbits about our favorite brooding vampire.

1. It's hard to believe now, but when Rob first signed on to play Edward Cullen, 75,000 people signed a petition against his taking the role — they didn't think he was the right fit for the character in the Twilight books! Now, even more people are saying, "Robert, bite me"...but they mean something completely different.



2. Robert reportedly got a six-pack for New Moon, thanks to makeup artists and strategic airbrushing. We'd like to inspect the evidence to find out for sure.



3. He once reportedly said that instead of "R-Pattz," his nickname could be "Spunk Ransom." Is it just us, or does that sound like a porn-star name?



4. All of Rob's trademark fervid staring in the Twilight movies? It's not his acting — he credits difficulty seeing through his gold-colored contacts (which he calls "orange blobs").



5. On account of filming Remember Me and the second and third Twilight flicks, he estimates he's had "like, three days off" in the past year. This vampire needs some R&R and maybe a massage, stat! Any takers?



6. Unlike his character Edward, Robert says he's not at all romantic. "I can't think of a single romantic thing I've ever done," he told the Today Show recently.



7. He plays the piano and guitar, and his songs were featured in the first Twilight movie. Director Catherine Hardwicke told MTV the songs made her cry because they were so moving.



8. He reportedly "is confused" as to why UGG boots are trendy. We hear that the rest of the male population agrees.



9. Rob has two older sisters who used to dress him up and introduce him to people as "Claudia." That must've sucked.



10. R-Pattz seriously considered quitting acting because he couldn't get any jobs. A couple of days later, he auditioned for Twilight.

Robert Thomas Pattinson (born 13 May 1986) is an English actor, model and musician. He is best known for playing Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of Twilight, based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer, and for the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Pattinson was born in London, England. His mother, Clare, worked for a modeling agency, and his father, Richard, imported vintage cars from the U.S. Pattinson attended Tower House School and Harrodian School. He became involved in amateur theatre through the Barnes Theatre Company. After some backstage experience there, he took on acting roles. He caught the attention of an acting agent in a production of Tess of the D'Urbervilles and began looking for professional roles. Pattinson has two elder sisters.

Pattinson began modeling when he was twelve years old, but it wound down only four years later. He has blamed his lack of work as a model on his masculine appearance. Pattinson explained in December 2008, "When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modeling career. Pattinson appeared in the advertising campaign for Hackett's Autumn 2007 collection.

Pattinson had supporting roles in the made for television film Ring of the Nibelungs in 2004 and in director Mira Nair’s Vanity Fair, although his scenes in the latter were deleted and only appear on the DVD version.[14] In May 2005, he was slated to appear in the UK premiere of The Woman Before at the Royal Court Theatre, but was fired shortly before the opening night and was replaced by Tom Riley.[15] Later that year he played Cedric Diggory in the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. For this he was named that year's British Star of Tomorrow by The Times.[16] He has more than once been touted as the next Jude Law.[9][17][18]

Pattinson played Edward Cullen in the movie Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel of the same name, which was released on 21 November 2008 in North America. According to TV Guide, Pattinson was initially apprehensive about auditioning for the role of Edward Cullen, fearful that he would not be able to live up to the "perfection" expected from the character. He reprised his role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight sequels New Moon and the upcoming Eclipse, which began filming in August 2009.

Pattinson also had lead roles in the feature films Little Ashes (in which he plays Salvador Dalí), How To Be (a British comedy) and the short film The Summer House. In 2010, he will appear in a theatre production for producer David Pugh.



He presented at the 81st Academy Awards on 22 February 2009.

Revolver Entertainment created a documentary entitled Robsessed, which details Pattinson's life and popularity. The documentary was released to DVD on 10 November 2009, to coincide with the release of New Moon.
