Pattinson became an actor to pick up women
Hollywood heartthrob ROBERT PATTINSON decided to become an actor after his dad convinced him it would help him pick up women.
The 22-year-old is among Tinseltown's hottest new stars, thanks to his lead role in cult vampire franchise Twilight.
But he may never have been an actor at all, had his dad not pushed him to try his hand at London's Barnes Theatre Company - so he could hang out with girls.
Pattinson says, ?(My dad) saw a bunch of pretty girls who were going to it. (He) said: 'Hey Rob, you've got to go to that.' That's the reason I still do it!?
