Article to be considered

Copy of article to be considered
24year old actor Robert Pattinson was born in London to Clare ( modelling agency worker) and Richard ( vintage car dealer). From an early age Robert was interested in theatre, music and modelling and as a young child he took part in several school musicals along with plays. Thanks to his mother Clare, Robert was able to begin his modelling career at the age of twelve. His career seemed to be getting off to a good start and he was soon receiving a vast number of contracts from different modelling agencies. But unfortunately this success wasn’t going to last forever as the number of contracts went down dramatically when Pattinson began to mature and entered manhood. "When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modeling career”. Pattinson began his acting career by playing supporting roles in “Ring of the Nibelungs” and “Vanity Fair”, he eventually worked his way up and then went on to play Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and The Fire Of Goblet. For this role he was named British Star Of Tomorrow by The Times. Pattinson's acting career really began to elevate as he signed a contract with Summit Entertainment which includes four films based on the best number one seller books of the year “The Twilight Saga” written by Stephanie Meyer. ‘The Twilight Saga’ includes for movies: Twilight, New moon, Eclipse and breaking Dawn. Pattinson plays the role of 108 year old vampire (Edward Cullen) who falls deeply in love with a normal human girl called Bella. The films follow the ups and downs of their relationship along with the rivalry between the Vampires and werewolves. The first Twilight film was released in November 2008 and gave a boost to Roberts’s acting career as the film managed to earn over $375 m worldwide. The film managed to attract a wide range of target audience’s mainly young girls/women. It was due to his female growing fan base that Pattinson managed to win ‘The Sexiest Man Alive’ award in 2009. The second film in the Twilight saga ‘New Moon’ was equally successful and brought in $140.7 million at the box office. Yet again Pattinson’s career was soaring to success. But in an exclusive interview with attitude Pattinson hinted that he might not carry on acting after the Eclipse ( the final installment in the Twilight Saga). “I don't even know if I want to be an actor that long,” he said. "Acting was a passion of mine from an early age," he said, "but as I have grown older I have found other ways of expressing myself that appeal to me on a more personal level. I certainly hope this doesn't upset my fan base as they have made me who I am, but who I am goes a bit deeper than simply being an actor." Said Pattinson. Pattinson revealed that his hoped for the future were to become a singer and sign a record deal with Simon Cowell Syco record label. Robert maybe leaving the acting world but he certainly wouldn’t be leaving the spotlight anytime soon. And if you’re a big Pattinson fan worry not for you will be hearing many successful songs from R-Patz in the future. But for now Its time to say Farewell Pattinson, we wish you all the best.
