The only reason why Robert Pattinson started acting was to meet girls. He was very shy as a teenager so his father convinced him to sign up for acting classes.

The Twilight Saga star told French magazine Madam Figaro: ”I was horribly shy. One day in a restaurant, my dad overheard a group of pretty girls talking about their acting classes. He told me, ‘Sign up, you might meet someone!’ I did it … and it worked pretty well!”

Pattinson also said that despite his reputation he still has to fight for the roles. ”I still have to do castings to convince some directors that I’m the man for the job,” he added.
