To start, well, I have to mention Channing Tatum again for I think they have something in common. He and Channing Tatum are now both handsome young male actors and both of them want to impress the public more with their skills rather than looking. Meanwhile both of them have been models before acting 1 on screen. But different people have different legendaries 2. Now let’s have a look at his story.
First he was a model at the age of 12 partly for his mother works for a modeling agency. But this job didn’t last long and he himself admitted that he had most unsuccessful modeling career. Then later he began to appear in some films as an amateurish 3 actor. He once cast a role in Vanity Fair but unfortunately, his part was deleted and only presented on the DVD version.
He was then chosen to play the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry 4 Potter and the Goblet 5 of Fire. Though he was not as famous as the two leading actors and the actress, his noble way and handsome figures impress the world and were then acclaimed 6 as the second Jude Law. But he was so humble 7 and expressed he was never that potential.
Besides acting, he also plays guitar and piano, and composes his own music. He recorded several soundtracks for two rather famous films which won him much applause. He has said, "I've never really recorded anything – I just played in pubs ", and when asked about a professional music career, he said, "Music is my back-up plan if acting fails.
So he continues to be an actor and finally became the superstar after another film. To attain 8 the leading role, he flied all the way to America from London and competed among 5000 excellent actors. When he first costarred with the leading actress, she felt so easy and good. The director predicated that he is destined 9 to be somebody. No doubt that he finally won the role after all these difficulties.
That film is called Twilight 10 and that role is Edward Cullen and of course, he is Robert Pattinson. The film based on the bestselling novel of the same name, which was first released on 21 November 2008 in North America. However, at that time, Rob was fearful that he would not be able to live up to the "perfection" expected from the character Edward Cullen.
But the world immediately is ignited by him and people especially the young girls felt crazy about him. He then played in the Twilight sequels and other films. But one thing is certain, he can never go back to ordinary life again, for his fans are all over the world and we all seem to love him very much!
