A report has suggested that late actor Leslie Nielsen wanted to work with Robert Pattinson.

According to The Examiner, Leslie was keen to work with Rob, 24, on a Twilight spoof.

Sadly the 84-year-old actor, who was an absolute legend, died on Sunday afternoon from complications of pneumonia after fighting the disease in hospital for 12 days prior to his death.

“Leslie was a big Robert Pattinson fan,” a source reportedly said. “He would have loved to work with Robert on a Twilight parody.”

Leslie has played a part in many spoof movies, just imagine what he could have done with the Twilight Saga! He could have succeeded where Vampires Suck kind of failed.

RIP Leslie Nielsen.
