Robert Pattinson has reportedly turned down a $2m deal with Burberry.

The Brit actor apparently turned down the chance to be the face of the brand.

Sources say the actor told bosses he’s “an actor, not a model”.

“Head designer Christopher Bailey and the Burberry team were desperate to sign Robert as the main person in their new campaign,” an insider told the Sunday Mirror.

“It would grace all their stores worldwide and be in all the best publications. They went to Robert but he immediately, politely, turned them down.”

“As far as Robert sees things he’s an actor by trade and that’s his art. He doesn’t want to start becoming a brand or anything.”

“Burberry really hoped Robert would do it. They know he wears Burberry occasionally and he’s met Christopher and the team before.”

“They only wanted him. Robert’s look would have been perfect so they’re back to square one.”
