Robert Pattinson was almost fired from Twilight – for being too emo
The actor recalls almost losing his Edward Culle♌n role

Roღbert Pattins🅘on very nearly lost his iconic role of Edward Cullen.
The actor starred as the vampire in all five Twilight movies, opposite Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan. As it turns out, his performance ✱was leaning too much on the dark side for the studio.
. "We had this strange tension where the studio was kind of a little bit scared to make things a little bit too emo and stuff, and I thought that was the only way to play it."It just seems so ridiculous talking about it now because I was literally – I spent so much time just infuriated. That's definitely something about being 21 as well, because I canꦡ't believe the way I was acting half the time when I think b💖ack on it."
The tension broke when Pattinson's team intervened. "The scene when Edward introduces Bella to his family the first time, I remember that being🐓 the day, because my agent and my manager came up as a surprise visit," the actor explained. "And I was like, 'Oh, hey,' and just thought everything was fine, and then at lunch, they were like, 'Okay, so whateve♕r you're doing right now, after lunch, just do the opposite, or you'll be fired by the end of the day.' And I was like, 'Okay,' and so, that was the only thing that got me to sort of smile a little bit."
Pattinson is taking on another brooding character in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman, which sees him play the titular vigilante✃. No word yet on if Bruce Wayne will be smiling in the movie.
