Robert Pattinson is a popular British actor, fashion model, and musician, the idol of teenagers around the world. Robert became widely known for two roles: the Hogwarts student from “Harry Potter” and the vampire Edward Cullen from the “Twilight” saga.
Biography and career of Robert Pattinson
Robert was born in London in a family of a businessman and a model. He grew up as an uncommunicative and notorious child who had no friends either among his classmates or among his peers. As a child, Robert Pattinson studied first in an institution for boys, and then transferred to Barnes School, where he began to try his hand at acting.
To overcome his shyness, he began performing on stage at Barnes Studios, appearing in productions such as Tess of the D’Herberville, Macbeth, and Whatever Happens. Moreover, his mother helped Robert get into the modeling business, thanks to which the boy began to often appear on glossy covers. How old Robert Pattinson was at that time is not known for certain.
However, the modeling business did not attract the young man as much as theater and acting, which is why he refused to film, preferring television.
He made his debut role as a minor character in “Ring of the Nibelungen”, and his first success came to Pattinson after working on “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” In this picture, he reincarnated as Cedric Diggory, a student of the Hogwarts faculty of Gryffindor, who, along with the main character played by Daniel Radcliffe, took part in a school competition. While auditioning for the role of Cedric, Robert knew absolutely nothing about the J.K. Rowling saga, but after working on “Harry Potter” became an ardent fan of films about young wizards.
The next picture brought Pattinson the lead role. In Toby Jugg’s Pursuit, the young actor appeared as a military pilot who was confined to a wheelchair.
After the “Diary of a Bad Mother,” Robert briefly returned to the modeling business and began to appear not only on glossy covers but also on the catwalks of Britain and the United States.
However, stunning fame was still waiting for Pattinson. A few years later, films with Robert Pattinson in the title role will gather full halls of viewers.
In 2008 he got the role of the main character in “Twilight”, where he embodied on the screen a vampire who won the hearts of spectators around the world. Edward Cullen became the idol of millions for many years – while the saga was broadcast on screens and even after the last film was shot.
After incredible success in vampire melodrama, Robert appeared in “Water for Elephants!”, “Remember Me”, and “Dear Friend.” Widespread popularity allows the actor to be pickier about the choice of his roles now. Pattinson’s main goal was to distance himself from the role of the vampire, which for several years he portrayed in “Twilight”. In addition, he was no longer interested in teenage characters: he decided to diversify his filmography with interesting images. Robert has starred in historical films, thrillers, romantic melodramas, comedies, and even superhero films. Films starring Robert Pattinson have become box office successes every time.
His most recent credits include The Lighthouse, on the set of which he collaborated with Willem Dafoe, The King, who made Pattinson reincarnate as a French prince, and DC’s Argument, The Devil Is Always Here, and Batman. Batman, starring Robert as Bruce Wayne, the superhero, has become one of the most anticipated films of 2021.
At the moment, the filmography of Robert Pattinson consists of several dozen successful projects.
Personal life of Robert Pattinson
Robert’s first high-profile novel was his relationship with his Twilight co-star, Kristen Stewart. Pattinson met his future lover on the set, their romance developed rapidly and vividly. It has become one of the most talked-about stellar romances in Hollywood.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson seemed to be gradually moving towards a wedding. Robert made his beloved a marriage proposal, to which the girl agreed, and then got home to create a family.
But already in 2012, the public was shocked by the breakup of the “vampire couple”, which was preceded by a real scandal. The reason for the end of the relationship between Pattinson and Stewart was the betrayal of Kristen, who began an affair with the producer of the film “Snow White and the Huntsman.” Rupert Sanders, with whom the young actress fell in love, did not meet with her for a long time, after which the girl made an attempt to restore relations with Robert, but it was too late. Pattinson was never able to forgive his beloved.
Experiencing a painful breakup, the actor decided to try on the role of a real heartthrob who changes his chosen ones like gloves. Famous actresses, singers, and world beauties have been in his arms. First, the actor Pattinson had an affair with Dakota Fanning, who also took part in the filming of the movie “Twilight”, then the media discussed a short relationship with Katy Perry, which was followed by several dates with Imogen Kerr and the daughter of Sean Penn. None of Pattinson’s novels at the time lasted more than a few months.
A few months after the end of the last relationship, the press began to actively discuss the possibility of Pattinson’s bisexuality. Rumors began to circulate that the actor had been spotted with Brad Owens. It was rumored that Robert himself, in some interviews, spoke about his relationship with the model. The rumor was also fueled by the incident when Pattinson publicly kissed his Twilight co-star, who played Jacob, the main rival in the fight for the heart of Kristen Stewart, at the awards ceremony. Taylor and Robert admitted that it was just a joke bet.
In 2017, Robert appeared on the red carpet with Talia Barnett, and their relationship seemed strong. The couple even got engaged, but six months later they broke off relations, Pattinson admitted this in an interview with reporters but did not name the reason for the cooling of feelings.
In 2018, the media attributed to the actor an affair with Sienna Miller, near whose apartment he was found by the paparazzi.
In the same year, Robert began dating model Sookie Waterhouse, although Pattinson and Sookie themselves did not comment on the novel for a long time, trying to hide it from the press and other people’s gossip. The couple is together today – at the end of July, information appeared that Robert Pattinson and Sookie Waterhouse were engaged, and, therefore, the lovers were soon expecting a magnificent wedding celebration.
