Robert Pattinson started his career as a mean and moody model but quickly caught the acting bug – thank goodness.
But it wasn’t his love of Shakespeare or the lure of the bright lights which got him into drama…
In an interview with David Letterman, the Brit boy confessed the real reason he wanted to become an actor, telling the host: "I wanted to meet girls! That was the main thing."
And his plan worked as Rob is now happily dating Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, a relationship which has blossomed over the past couple of years.
The private pair have been keen to keep their romance out of the spotlight but after months of it being the worst kept secret in Hollywood, they finally seem at ease with fans knowing they are dating.
The gorgeous stars enjoyed a public display of affection when they took part in the hand and foot prints ceremony at Graumans Theatre in Hollywood last week.
They could barely keep their mucky paws off each other as they pretended to wipe clay over their faces and Kristen rested a caring hand on Rob’s thigh.
Not everyone will be so happy that the Twilight stars are in love.
25 year old Robert admitted he does have some crazed female fans and that it’s not just Twilight teeny boppers who are the problem.
"It's not just teenage girls. It's older too.
"The older ones are far more passionate. It's funny. Since Twilight, vampires are considered sexy." Yes they are Robert, yes they are.
If you, like us, can’t wait to see Breaking Dawn when it is released on Friday November 18, enjoy an R-Pattz fix in the trailer above.
