Robert Pattinson – The journey from crashed modeling to superstardom!

Robert Pattinson is the name which is hardly unknown to anyone. Though it’s just two years or so since his most popular movie Twilight made him the household name, and within just two years he has made it to the top.

But what about his pre-Twilight days? Did we know our RPattz the way we know him now? Probably not!

So how were the days for Robert before he actually saw the face of success? Let’s travel by the time machine to go back a little.

Robert Pattinson was a schoolboy of 12 years old when he started his modeling career. He had a good height and a girlie face. The androgynous look was acceptable in late 90’s and Rob got many modeling offers. But as he grew older, he was misfit into the profession and within just four years, his modeling career crashed!

Then Pattinson tried his hands in acting. He got some supporting roles in television films like Ring of the Nibelungs and Mira Nair’s Vanity Fair where his scenes appeared only in the DVD version! That was in 2004. And the next year, he was selected to appear n the UK premiere of The Woman Before at the Royal Court Theatre, but was replaced by Tom Riley shortly before the premieres.

Rob made his first silver screen appearance “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” where he played Cedric Diggory. Though he was tagged “British Star of Tomorrow” in 2005 and was called the next Jude Law, yet he was not the “Robert Pattinson” whom we know now!

Two more TV films and one more cameo role in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” along with the Strasbourg Film Festival Award winning role in “How To Be”, before smelling the first essence of success. Twilight in 2008 earned Rob the much needed breakthrough and shaped him up as the most desirable young superstar of today.

Twilight and New Moon have been the biggest hits for Rob while Remember Me is the latest release. Rob’s wax figure was recently placed at Madame Tussauds reflecting his fame and immense popularity. This is the present scenario apart from the fans frenzies worldwide!

With few more movies at hand, Rob’s future seems to be safe and flourished. Isn’t it interesting that once an unknown face of modeling world is every girl’s heartthrob today?
