Robert Pattinson got into acting for the ladies

A love of the ladies lead Robert Pattinson to become an actor.

The Twilight mega star has revealed that potentially meeting ladies got him into acting in the first place.

“I suppose it was a variety of things … the pretty girls?” he said. “There was a theater around the corner from my house. I guess it was something I always wanted to do, but I thought it was pretty pretentious; I didn’t mind the kids that were acting at school but I wanted to do it secretly outside the school.

“I just liked the environment; I worked backstage for about three years and just watched everything and then I did a couple of plays and I got an agent from one of the plays, totally randomly.”
