Robert Pattinson almost quit acting after his ‘Twilight’ audition

Pattinson’s breakout role was in 2005, when he played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In the years following, he nearly quit acting because trying to build an acting career was so difficult.

In an interview with the Hollywood Free Press Association podcast, Pattinson revealed that his first Twilight audition went so badly, he was ready to give up acting forever. His agent had suggested he bring a guitar into his Twilight audition, as the character had a guitar in the scene. This is what Pattinson had to say about that choice:

“I just walked in and they were like, ‘Oh. You brought a guitar. Do you want to play us a song,’ and I was like, ‘No. This is the worst decision I ever made.’ I was saying no and they were like, ‘You just brought a guitar in just to hold it? Why did you bring a guitar in?’ My confidence just sh*t the bed.”

The guitar clearly wasn’t an issue, as he ended up booking the role of Edward Cullen and his career skyrocketed from there.

Outside of the Twilight saga, Pattinson starred in films like Remember Me, Water for Elephants, Maps to the Stars, The Lost City of Z, Good Time, Damsel, High Life, The Lighthouse, and The King. His most recent work, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, is currently in movie theaters, and The Devil All the Time is currently streaming on Netflix. Pattinson has also modeled for three Dior campaigns.
