(Recently ,)Twilight star Robert Pattinson was named “2011 the world’s most popular actor” by Glamour , the fashion magazine in Britain. He has won this prize for 3 years from 2009-2011.
Robert is a very familiar name for many people , especially teenagers and girls of various ages. After he played the leading role of Edward Cullen in the film adaptation (改编剧本) of the Twilight novels , he gained worldwide fame.
Unlike many other Hollywood stars , Robert broke into the entertainment industry as a model. At the age of 12 , he started his modeling career. However, this job did not last long because his look became too “manly” after several years. “It’s better for a model to have a neutral appearance(中性外表),” said Robert. But then some acting audition (试镜) opportunities came to him.
When he was 17 years old , Robert received a supporting role in Harry Potter and the Goblet Fire(《哈利波特与火焰杯》). And his hard work in the movie was appreciated by the people from the movie world. One year later, his hard work paid off. He got the leading role in Twilight and became popular throughout the world.
