Robert Pattinson

Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson was born on May 13, 1986, in London, England. Among the brood of three, Robert is the youngest and the only son of Richard and Clare Pattinson. His father was a vintage car importer while his mother worked for a modelling agency. Aside from being an actor, model and producer, Pattison is an excellent musician who plays both the guitar and piano. He performs two songs on the Twilight soundtrack, “Never Think,” which he co-wrote with Sam Bradley, and “Let Me Sign.”
When Robert was 15, he started acting in amateur plays with the Barnes Theatre Company. Afterward, he took supporting roles in the made for television film Ring of the Nibelungs (2004), and in director Mira Nair’s 2004 Vanity Fair, although his scenes in the latter were deleted, and only appear on the DVD version. He got his first big break when he was cast as Cedric Diggory in both “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” and “Harry Potter and the "Order of the Phoenix”. Following his stint as Cedric Diggory, Pattinson was named 2005's "British Star of Tomorrow" by Times Online and has been dubbed "the next Jude Law" by Teen People.
The British actor is arguably the hottest new star in Hollywood as he portrayed the leading role of Edward Cullen in the film adaptations of the bestselling novels “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer. Since then, he's gone on to be an international superstar, reprising his role in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)” and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)”. In fact, he works nonstop—in between Twilight movies, he's also played starring roles in "Bel Ami" with Christina Ricci, "Remember Me" with Emilie de Ravin and "Water for Elephants" opposite Reese Witherspoon.
