Robert Pattinson was born on May 13, 1986 (Taurus) in London, England. Besides acting, his interests include reading, playing guitar and keyboard.[7] He composes his own music and enjoys live performances. He has said that he misses being able to perform live at open mic nights now that he is readily recognized as "Edward", but he did not like having videos of his performances appear on YouTube.[6]
He has stated in multiple interviews for the Twilight Saga that he is currently single. Since then, he was reluctant to answer questions relating to his relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart. However, their relationship ended in 2012 after she had been photographed cheating on him with director Rupert Sanders.
In school he wanted to be a political speechwriter, before deciding to try acting instead.[7] He denies using any hair products to get his hair to stand on end, saying that "I'm just always grabbing my hair and stuff."[2]
He received a Hollywood Award at the Hollywood Film Festival Awards on October 29, 2008.[8] Pattinson claims that he never watches himself in movies, "because it makes me feel like I'll never want to do a job again."[2]
Pattinson began dating British singer-songwriter FKA twigs(real name: Tahliah Barnett) in September 2014. In April 2015, it was confirmed that they are engaged. The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2015 Met Gala in New York on May 4, 2015.
