Robert Pattinson Profile - His Life Story

Did you know Robert Pattinson's sisters used to dress him up like a girl and call him Claudia? We've got that story and a whole lot more right here on ClevverTV.

Hey Twilight Fans - I'm Dana Ward for ClevverTV and this is our exclusive Robert Pattinson Profile. Rob was born in London, England in 1986. His mother worked with models, so it was natural that at age 12, Rob, who is about 6'1" started doing a bit of modeling. At first he booked lots of jobs, which he credits with his youthful, feminine looks at the time. But as he started to look older and more masculine Rob stopped booking gigs. At age 15, his acting career got its start and in 2003 Robert got his big break when he landed the role of Cedric in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

While playing Cedric, Robert actually had to learn how to scuba dive. He says that his favorite sports are really darts and pool, but during his audition for Harry Potter he fibbed a bit and said that he liked snowboarding and soccer.

Like I mentioned before, Robert has two older sisters - Lizzy and Victoria-who used to dress him up in girls clothes. He said all this stopped when he turned 12. 12 was a big year for Robert-he started attending a boy/girl school AND this was when he discovered hair gel! Messy, crazy hair is in fact on of Rob's biggest trademarks.

Robert is also an excellent musician. He began taking piano at age 3 and classical guitar at age 5. He is featured on two of the songs on the "Twilight" soundtrack and says that if the whole acting thing doesn't pan out, music is his backup! Robert even has a band that is based in him hometown of London.

Robert beat out over 3000 actors to land the role of Edward Cullen-and appearing in Twilight has completely changed his life. But, he is still single. Robert dated model Nina Schubert and since then he is constantly linked with beautiful young actresses including co-star Kristen Stewart and Natalie Portman!

Believe it or not, Robert is involved in other movie projects OUTSIDE the Twilight franchise. He's completed roles in both "Little Ashes" and "How To Be." The fact that he was asked to present an Academy Award at this year's Oscars is proof that Hollywood bigshots think he has staying power.

That does it for our Robert Pattinson Profile-if you think we left out any juicy pieces of info, let us know. Stop by our comments section below.
