Behind the cameras Robert Pattinson is a self proclaimed shy London lad. Robert is largely known for his role as vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies but started his big screen career as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Robert states he feels the pressure of being in the spotlight overwhelming due to the attention from the media and fans. He is romantically linked to Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.

The talented heartthrob is currently filming Twilight: Breaking Dawn which is set for release on November 18, 2011. He can next be seen in Water for Elephants. Pattinson plays a veterinary student who loses his parents in auto accident. Broken down by the news, he quits school and joins the circus at twenty-one.

Despite feeling uneasy about the high level of fame and his private life on display, he is enjoying the ride to the top.
