Early life

[edit]

Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson^[1]^[2] was born in the Barnes district of London, England, on 13 May 1986.^[3]^[4]^[5] His father, Richard, owned a business importing vehicles from the United States, while his mother, Clare, worked at a modelling agency. The couple met through a mutual family friend in the Richmond Hill area and married when Clare was twenty-six and Richard was thirty-five.^[6] Pattinson has two older sisters, Victoria and Elizabeth.^[7]^[8] At the age of four, he began attending Tower House Boys' Preparatory School and developed an interest in playing piano and guitar.^[9] By the age of six, Pattinson was participating in amateur performances. He secured his first role in a play titled Spell for a Rhyme, written by one of his teachers, and later appeared in his school's adaptation of William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies (1954).^[9]

Pattinson started delivering newspapers at the age of ten, receiving around £10 (equivalent to £24 in 2023) weekly. As a child he was untidy, displayed a "blatant refusal to [do his] homework" and exhibited a "lackadaisical" attitude.^[10] Pattinson's sisters often dressed him as a female persona they named Claudia.^[11]^[12] In his free time, he enjoyed playing football, engaging in computer games and watching television shows like Sharky and George, Doctor Who and Hammerman.^[13] When Pattinson was twelve, he was expelled from Tower House for shoplifting pornographic magazines.^[14]^[15] His parents enrolled him at the Harrodian School, on Lonsdale Road near the family home.^[16] Pattinson excelled in English studies, which he described as his favourite subject.^[17] As a teenager, he worked as a photo model for British fashion brands and magazines and as a fashion designer.^[18]^[19]^[20] In his late teens, Pattinson performed acoustic guitar sets at open mic nights in pubs across London, where he sang his own songs. He performed either solo under the stage name Bobby Dupea or as part of his band, Bad Girls.^[11]

Pattinson initially considered a career in music or studying speechwriting at university but never thought about pursuing acting. A teacher once advised him against joining the school drama club, believing he was not suited for the creative arts.^[21]^[22] At the age of thirteen, Pattinson joined the Barnes Theatre Company, a local amateur theatre group, after his father encouraged him to participate to help overcome his shyness.^[23]^[17] After working backstage, he auditioned for the play Guys and Dolls and secured his first role as a Cuban dancer with no lines.^[24]^[25] In the following production, Our Town, he played the lead role of George Gibbs.^[26] During this performance, a talent agent in the audience noticed him, leading Pattinson to begin pursuing professional acting opportunities.^[5] He went on to appear in stage productions such as Macbeth, Anything Goes and Tess of the d'Urbervilles.^[27] Pattinson initially intended to go to university, but filming for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire conflicted with his schedule.^[28] Around this time, he shared a flat in Soho with his childhood friend and fellow actor Tom Sturridge.^[29]

Career

[edit]

2004–2007: Career beginnings

[edit]

Pattinson's first film role was in Mira Nair's 2004 costume drama film Vanity Fair—an adaptation of a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray—in which he portrayed the son of Becky Sharp.^[29]^[30]^[31] However, his scenes were deleted from the final cut and are only available in the DVD version of the film. Reflecting on the experience, Pattinson stated, "My first job I was playing Reese Witherspoon's son and I hadn't done any acting in school. I wasn't in a drama school or anything. I'd done one amateur play and you end up doing a film with Reese Witherspoon".^[30] That year, Pattinson had a more prominent role in the television film Ring of the Nibelungs alongside Max Von Sydow and Julian Sands.^[32] Directed by Uli Edel, the film follows Siegfried (played by Benno Furmann), a young blacksmith who slays a dragon and falls in love with Queen Brunhild (played by Kristanna Loken). Pattinson portrays Giselher, the younger brother of King Gunther and Princess Kriemhild, who looks up to Siegfried as a demigod.^[33]

In 2005, Pattinson was cast as Cedric Diggory in the fantasy film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, directed by Mike Newell.^[34]^[35] According to Newell, "Cedric exemplifie[d] all that you would expect the Hogwarts champion to be. Robert [...] was born to play the role; he's quintessentially English with chiselled public schoolboy good looks".^[36] Pattinson learned to scuba dive in preparation for the role.^[37] For his performance, he was named the 2005 "British Star of Tomorrow" by The Times^[38] and was also referred to as "the next Jude Law".^[39]^[40] The film grossed nearly $897 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 2005.^[41]^[42] In 2006, Pattinson starred in Chris Durlacher's The Haunted Airman, a psychological thriller that aired on BBC Four on 31 October.^[43] He played a World War II pilot who is shot, left paralysed and suffers from severe shell shock, eventually descending into madness.^[44] Pattinson himself described the role as his "best acting experience".^[44] His performance received positive reviews, with The Stage saying that he portrayed "the airman of the title with a perfect combination of youthful terror and world-weary cynicism".^[45]

Pattinson appeared in a supporting role in the 2007 film The Bad Mother's Handbook, a one-off television drama adapted from a novel by Kate Long. In the film, he portrayed Daniel Gale, a shy young man who develops feelings for Charlotte, a girl struggling with issues after being dumped by her boyfriend and experiencing difficulties with her mother.^[46]

2008–2013: The Twilight Saga and worldwide recognition

[edit]

In 2008, Pattinson played his first leading role as Art in the film How to Be, directed by Oliver Irving.^[47]^[48] In the film, Art, after being dumped by his girlfriend, moves back in with his parents and convinces a Canadian self-help guru to relocate to London to help him rebuild his life. Irving recalled Pattinson's audition, saying, "Robert walked in[,] forgot his lines and just started improvising, which was exactly what I wanted [...] he's a really down-to-earth guy".^[49] Pattinson himself enjoyed filming the movie, stating that he "loved the script" and found it "very different from everything else [he] had read".^[49] That same year, Pattinson portrayed Salvador Dalí in Little Ashes (2008).^[50] He was originally considered for the role of Federico García Lorca, Dalí's lover,^[50] but the part ultimately went to Javier Beltrán.^[51] The film mostly received negative reviews; the Toronto Star's Greg Quill stated that "even cinematographer Adam Suschitzky's richly textured and resonantly toned cityscapes and rural scenes can't make up for a flawed script and weak performances in what might have been a powerful historical drama".^[52]

In 2008, Pattinson starred alongside Kristen Stewart as Edward Cullen in the romantic fantasy Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's 2005 novel of the same name.^[53]^[54]^[55] Approximately three thousand men submitted resumes for the role of Cullen, many of whom auditioned. Director Catherine Hardwicke said that Pattinson had "everything [they] needed [...] that angular face and kind of mysterious Edward aura".^[56] According to Pattinson, his performance in the film was largely influenced by that of Stewart's.^[57] He adopted an American accent for the role and began wearing contact lenses.^[58] In the film, Bella, portrayed by Stewart, faces danger from James, a vampire determined to kill her and drink her blood, leading Cullen—Bella's vampire lover—to become embroiled in a battle with James.^[59] While the film received mixed reviews, critics widely praised his chemistry with Stewart. The New York Times's Manohla Dargis described Pattinson as a "capable and exotically beautiful" actor,^[60] while Roger Ebert believed he was "well-chosen" for the role.^[61]

Pattinson presented at the 81st Academy Awards in February 2009; he was initially set to appear with Stewart, who declined.^[62] He played Richard in Daisy Gili's film The Summer House (2009). The story follows Richard, Jane's (played by Talulah Riley) ex-boyfriend, as he travels to France to try to win back her love after cheating on her.^[49]^[63] The short film was later re-released as part of an anthology titled Love & Distrust (2010), which features five short films exploring the lives of eight individuals from different backgrounds on their journey to find contentment.^[64] Revolver Entertainment released Robsessed (2009), a documentary about Pattinson's life and rise to fame.^[65] Pattinson reprised his role as Cullen in the Twilight sequel, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which was released in November 2009.^[66]^[67] The film grossed a record-breaking $142.8 million in its opening weekend and earned a total of $711 million worldwide, making it the seventh highest-grossing film of 2009.^[68]^[69]^[70] Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic mentioned that "Pattinson's actually not in the film that much, but he does his best when he's around",^[71] while The Washington Post's Michael O'Sullivan praised his acting as "uniformly strong".^[72] The film earned Pattinson three MTV Movie Awards at the 2010 ceremony.^[73]

In 2010, Pattinson executive-produced and starred in the coming-of-age drama film Remember Me,^[74] portraying Tyler Hawkins.^[75] Directed by Allen Coulter, the film follows a young couple navigating their relationship in the aftermath of a family tragedy.^[76] Pattinson's role in the film received mixed reviews from critics.^[77]^[78] That same year, he reprised his role as Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)—which emerged as the sixth-highest grossing film of that year, making over $698.4 million.^[79]^[80] In 2011, Pattinson portrayed Jacob Jankowski in Water for Elephants, a film adaptation of Sara Gruen's 2006 novel.^[81]^[82] While the film received mixed reviews,^[83] Pattinson's performance garnered praise; Time's Richard Corliss described it as "star quality".^[84] Pattinson reprised his role as Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (2011).^[85] The film grossed $705 million worldwide, which made it the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2011,^[86] but received mixed to negative reviews from critics.^[87] Pattinson starred as Georges Duroy in a film adaptation of the 1885 novel Bel Ami.^[88]^[89] The film premiered at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival and was officially released in February 2012.^[90]^[91]

Pattinson starred in the film adaptation of the novel Cosmopolis, directed by David Cronenberg.^[92] The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival^[93] and received generally positive reviews,^[94]^[95] with Pattinson's performance earning particular acclaim. Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph hailed it as a "sensational performance", stating that Pattinson portrays the character Eric Packer "like a human caldera; stony on the surface, with volcanic chambers of nervous energy and self-loathing churning deep below".^[95] Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman said that Pattinson, "pale and predatory even without his pasty-white vampire makeup", delivered his lines with "frigid pensées" and "rhythmic confidence".^[96] Pattinson reprised his role as Edward Cullen for the final time in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012).^[97]^[98] The film became the highest-grossing installment of the Twilight series and the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2012, earning over $829 million worldwide.^[99]^[69]

The film is set in the Outback a decade after an economic collapse; Pattinson character is a young, naive American man who is abandoned by his brother following a failed robbery.^[102] Variety's Scott Foundas praised Pattinson's "career re-defining performance", as well as his convincing Southern accent and "understated dignity" in a role that could have been overly sentimental.^[103] Next, Pattinson reunited with David Cronenberg for the satirical drama Maps to the Stars.^[104]^[105] He portrayed Jerome Fontana, a struggling limousine driver and actor who aspires to be a screenwriter.^[106] Cronenberg thought casting Pattinson was an "easy decision to make", praising him as "extremely inventive".^[107] The film was positively received by critics; Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph described Pattinson's performance as "winningly played".^[108]

In January 2015, Pattinson flew to Morocco for Werner Herzog's biographical film Queen of the Desert, an adaptation of Gertrude Bell's life story, starring alongside Nicole Kidman and James Franco.^[109]^[110] Pattinson portrayed T. E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia.^[111] Geoffrey Macnab of The Independent described his performance as "comic and a very long way removed from Peter O'Toole", stating that Pattinson played Lawrence as "a sharp-tongued, sardonic figure who can see through the pretensions of his bosses and colleagues".^[112] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called Pattinson's role "brief but significant" and highlighted the "easy camaraderie in his scenes with Kidman".^[113] He next starred in Anton Corbijn's biographical drama Life (2015), based on the life of actor James Dean.^[114]^[109] Set in the 1950s, Pattinson played Dennis Stock, a photographer who became friends with Dean after travelling with him through Los Angeles, Indiana and New York.^[115] Guy Lodge of Variety called his performance a "sly turn",^[116] while David Rooney, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, thought that Pattinson "[gave] arguably the most fully rounded performance".^[117]

In late 2015, Pattinson starred in The Childhood of a Leader, the directorial debut of Brady Corbet, alongside Bérénice Bejo and Stacy Martin.^[118]^[119] Pattinson took on dual roles in the film, first as Charles Marker, a reporter in Germany during World War I, and later as the adult version of the leader.^[120]^[121] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian described his performance as "elegant"^[122] and Screen International's Lee Marshall praising the role as "excellent".^[123] In 2016, Pattinson appeared in Plan B Entertainment's The Lost City of Z, directed by James Gray.^[124]^[125] The film premiered in August 2016 at the New York Film Festival.^[126]^[127] Pattinson had been cast as British explorer Corporal Henry Costin in November 2013.^[128] Set in the 1920s, the film follows British surveyor Percy Fawcett, who disappears in the Amazon rainforest while searching for a mythical city.^[129] For the role, Pattinson grew a thick beard and lost nearly 35 pounds (16 kg).^[130] Though the film was a box-office bomb,^[131] Us Weekly writer Mara Reinstein thought that Pattinson's performance in the film was "compelling",^[132] while The Guardian thought that Pattinson was "considerably more interesting to watch", commenting that the viewer may find themselves "wishing that his character, rather than the dashing but dull Fawcett, was the focus of the film".^[133]

Pattinson next starred in the Safdie brothers' neo-exploitation thriller Good Time (2017) as Connie Nikas, a bank robber navigating the criminal underworld of Queens, New York.^[134]^[135] The film premiered in competition at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival;^[136] Pattinson's performance was described as a "career peak" by Variety's Guy Lodge^[137] and his "career-best" by Eric Kohn from IndieWire.^[138] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter compared Pattinson's portrayal to Al Pacino's performance as Sonny Wortzik in Dog Day Afternoon (1975), ultimately describing it as "his most commanding performance to date".^[139] For his role, Pattinson earned his first Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Male Lead.^[140] While promoting Good Time, Pattinson wrote and starred in a short film for GQ titled Fear & Shame.

Pattinson's first role in 2019 was in Robert Eggers's black-and-white psychological horror film The Lighthouse, set on a remote New England island in the 1890s.^[154]^[155] The film premiered in the Directors' Fortnight section at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, earning good reviews for both its storytelling and Pattinson's performance.^[156]^[157] In his review for The Guardian, Bradshaw described Pattinson's performance as "mesmeric" and a "sledgehammer punch" that "just gets better and better".^[158] He earned his second nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead.^[159] Pattinson's next two films premiered at the 2019 Venice Film Festival.^[160] He first starred in The King—his second collaboration with Michôd, and an adaptation of William Shakespeare's plays.^[161]^[162] Pattinson portrayed Louis, The Dauphin, the nemesis of Henry V.^[163]^[164] For the role, he adopted a French accent, which he modelled after individuals in the French fashion industry.^[165]^[166] While opinions on his accent were mixed,^[165]^[166] critics largely praised his performance, describing it as "scene-stealing" and a standout in the film.^[167]^[168] He then appeared in Ciro Guerra's Waiting for the Barbarians (2019), an adaptation of J. M. Coetzee's 1980 novel, alongside Mark Rylance and Johnny Depp.^[169]^[170] His performance received a less enthusiastic response, with Boyd van Hoeij of The Hollywood Reporter calling it "a rather flat supporting role",^[171] while The Guardian critic Harry Windsor described his portrayal as "stiff" and "over-articulated".^[170]

Other ventures

[edit]

Modelling and endorsements

[edit]

Pattinson began modelling at age twelve and continued for about four years.^[196] In a December 2008 interview with Closer, he blamed the lack of modelling work on his masculine appearance: "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".^[197] Pattinson modelled for various British teen magazines as well as the Hackett clothing line and designer Nicole Farhi.^[18]^[20] In November 2010, Pattinson was offered a £1 million deal to become the face of Burberry but declined the offer.^[198]

Pattinson has been playing the guitar and piano since the age of four and often writes his own music.^[209]^[210] He lent his vocals to two songs on the Twilight soundtrack: "Never Think", which he co-wrote with Sam Bradley,^[211] and "Let Me Sign", written by Marcus Foster and Bobby Long.^[212] Director Catherine Hardwicke had included his recordings in an early cut of the film without his knowledge, but Pattinson later agreed that "one of them specifically [...] really made the scene better".^[213]^[214] He also performed three original songs, composed by Joe Hastings, for the How to Be soundtrack.^[215]^[216] Despite his musical talent, Pattinson has said, "I've never really recorded anything [...] I just played in pubs and stuff," and when asked about pursuing a professional music career, he remarked that "music is my back-up plan if acting fails".^[214] In 2010, he was recognised as Hollywood's Most Influential Top Unexpected Musician by the National Association of Music Merchants.^[217]
