22-year-old Brit was disillusioned with acting before Twi came along
Twilight star Robert Pattinson has become an international sensation, thanks to the vampire romance's stunning box-office success, but surprisingly, the 22-year-old heartthrob almost gave up acting altogether just a few years ago.
Rob got his first big break playing Cedric Diggory in the 2005 blockbuster Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but hadn't been in any high-profile roles until he was cast in Twilight in 2007.
Before Twi, Rob became so disillusioned with acting that he was considering giving it up altogether. Fortunately for his legions of fans, an indie flick he filmed shortly before before he was offered Twilight helped reawaken his passion for acting.
"I did [Little Ashes] before Twilight," Rob recounts. "I was going to give up acting before that...I was just so disinterested in acting at the time. I just thought, 'Oh a three-month vacation in Spain. Okay.' "
In Little Ashes, Rob plays the neurotic Spanish artist Salvador Dali. Researching and preparing for the role was therapeutic for the young Brit. "It was so intense the whole time and everybody was speaking Spanish and I don't speak a word of Spanish," he says. "I was the only English person there for the majority of the time. It gave me a reason to really focus on the script and the research to a ridiculous degree."
Pattinson invested so much time preparing for the role that he wound up developing a heightened sense of satisfaction from the process. "It was the one time I felt slightly satisfied," he recalls. "I wanted to bring that intensity to every job."
