Pattinson's masculinity ended his modelling career

TWILIGHT heart-throb ROBERT PATTINSON was forced to end his modelling career at the age of 16 - because he started to look too manly.

The British actor was a child model from the age of 12 but had to give up his life in front of the camera when work dried up just four years later.

And Pattinson, who subsequently turned to acting, blames growing into a man for his modelling rejections.

He tells British magazine Closer, "When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modelling career."
