Robert Pattinson Bummed Around Before Becoming an Actor

Robert Pattinson admits he “bummed around” before he became an actor.

The British star — who shot to fame playing vampire Edward Cullen in the smash hit Twilight movie franchise and is due to play Spanish artist Salvador Dalí in the upcoming biopic Little Ashes — says he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do with his life until he got into movies.

“It’s just kind of feeling you don’t really know where you’re going in the world,” Pattinson said. “At the time I thought that — I didn’t know if I wanted to be an actor, I didn’t know what I was doing, I hadn’t been to university.

“I was bumming around, not feeling particularly good at anything but at the same time desperately wanting to and thinking ‘You’ll never reach your own goals you set for yourself’.”

Pattinson, 22, recently revealed that he feels paranoid when he walks down the street — in case he gets accosted by groups of female fans.
