BIOGRAPHY

Robert Pattinson
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Robert Pattinson, born in May 13, 1986 in London, England, UK, is an actor.

A virtual unknown, Robert, scored the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He plays all-round guy Cedric Diggotry, one of two Hogwarts students chosen to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. It's a great gig for the newcomer who's not sold on his profession.

"Sometimes I think, 'to hell with acting,' and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop," he says. "Acting is much cooler."

You could say that Robert is very much an all-around guy. Playing the piano and the guitar are part of his musical pastimes. He's also into football, skiing and snowboarding.

Robert does take his acting seriously, as he regularly performs at Barnes Theatre Club in London. You've most likely seen him in movies such as The Ring of the Nibelungs and Vanity Fair.

His acting inspiration is Jack Nicholson.

"I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love his every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don't know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it kind of stuck with me."
