Early life
Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson[1][2] was born in London on 13 May 1986,[3][4] the youngest of three children of Clare (Charlton), a booker at a model agency, and Richard Pattinson, a vintage car dealer.[5] He grew up in a small home in Barnes with two older sisters, Elizabeth (Lizzy) and Victoria.[6] Pattinson discovered his love for music long before acting and started learning the guitar and piano at the age of four.[7] He attended Tower House School, where he, at age 12, was expelled from for shoplifting explicit magazines and selling them later to his male classmates.[8] He continued to attend The Harrodian School until his graduation.[9][10] Pattinson's love of cinema began when he was a teenager, and he counts Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando and Jean-Paul Belmondo among his acting idols.[11] In his late teens and early twenties, he used to perform acoustic guitar gigs at open mic nights in pubs around London where he sang his own written songs either solo under the stage name Bobby Dupea, or with his band Bad Girls.[12][13]
Pattinson considered becoming a musician or going to university to study speech-writing, but never thought about pursuing an acting career; his teacher in school even advised him not to join the drama club because she thought he was not suited for the creative arts.[14][15] However, when he was 13, he joined the local amateur theatre club called Barnes Theatre Company after his father convinced him to attend because he was quite shy.[16][17] At age 15 and after two years of working backstage, he auditioned for the play Guys and Dolls and he got his first role as a Cuban dancer with no lines. He got the lead role of George Gibbs in the next play Our Town,[10] was spotted by a talent agent who was sitting in the audience and he began looking for professional roles.[18] He also appeared in the plays Macbeth, Anything Goes, and Tess of the d'Urbervilles.[19][20][15]

In 2006, Pattinson appeared in The Haunted Airman a psychological thriller, aired on BBC Four on 31 October, and he earned favourable reviews.[29][30][31] The Stage praised his performance by saying that "[he] played the airman of the title with a perfect combination of youthful terror and world weary cynicism."[32] On 19 February 2007, he appeared in a supporting role in a one-off television drama based on the best-selling novel by Kate Long, The Bad Mother's Handbook.[33][34]
2008–2013: The Twilight Saga and worldwide recognition
In 2008, Pattinson landed the role of Edward Cullen in the film Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novel of the same name. According to TV Guide, Pattinson was initially apprehensive about auditioning for the role, fearful that he would not be able to live up to the "perfection" expected from the character.[35] The film was released on 21 November 2008 and turned Pattinson into a movie star overnight.[36] Although the film received mixed reviews, critics praised his chemistry with co-star Kristen Stewart in the film.[37] The New York Times called Pattinson a "capable and exotically beautiful" actor[38] and Roger Ebert said he was "well-chosen" for the role.[39]
His other release of 2008, How to Be, was a low-budget comedy drama film written and directed by Oliver Irving.[40][41] It screened at number of film festivals, earned mixed reviews from critics.[42][43] Pattinson then starred as Salvador Dalí in the film Little Ashes, a Spanish-British drama directed by Paul Morrison.[44] He also starred in a short film The Summer House directed by Daisy Gili.[45] This short film later re-released as a part of an anthology film titled Love & Distrust, comprising five short films following eight individuals from diverse backgrounds on their quest for true contentment.[46][47]
He reprised his role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which was released on 20 November 2009. The film earned a record-breaking $142,839,137 opening weekend and an overall run of $709,827,462 worldwide.[48] Though the film received negative reviews, film critic Michael Phillips from the Chicago Tribune said that Pattinson was still "interesting to watch" despite the bad makeup.[49] Bill GoodyKoontz from the Arizona Republic said that "Pattinson's actually not in the film that much, but he does his best when he's around"[50] and Michael O'Sullivan of the Washington Post noted that his acting was "uniformly strong".[51] It brought Pattinson global stardom,[52][53] and established him among the highest-paid actors in the world.[54][55][56]
In 2009, Pattinson presented at the 81st Academy Awards ceremony.[57] On 10 November 2009, Revolver Entertainment released the DVD Robsessed, a documentary which details Pattinson's life and popularity.[58] His next film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was released on 30 June 2010, earning $698,491,347 worldwide.[59][60] The film received mixed reviews, Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter praised Pattinson's performance, stating that "(he) makes you forget the white makeup and weird eye contact lenses – to focus on a character torn between his love for the human Bella (Stewart) and the knowledge that she'll have to let go of her beating heart if she's to stay with him forever."[61] Will Lawrence of Empire Online praised the performance of three leads of the film by saying that "All three corners of the love triangle look sharper than before: the most accomplished actor, Stewart, still lip-biting, Lautner still pec-flexing, and Pattinson not fully shaking that fiery-eyed pout. But all have grown into their roles, cutting loose in a film that (thankfully) sidesteps the melodrama of its prequels."[62]
Pattinson executive-produced and starred in the film Remember Me, which was released on 12 March 2010.[63] Though the film received mixed reviews, some critics praised his performance. Jake Coyle of The Associated Press said that "The young actor has an unmistakable screen presence. However in Remember Me, he pours it on thickly and self-consciously. With low eyes, sleeves rolled up just so and cigarette drooping artfully from his mouth, Tyler (like Edward Cullen) is a reluctant romantic."[64] Ian Nathan of Empire Online stated that "this is the best thing he's done."[65] and Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter praised his chemistry with co-star Emilie de Ravin in the film, stating that the "scenes between Pattinson and de Ravin exude genuine charm."[66]
In 2011, he starred as Jacob Jankowski in Water for Elephants, a film adaptation of the Sara Gruen novel of the same name.[67] The film received mixed reviews, but Pattinson's performance was praised. Film critic Richard Corliss from Time praised Pattinson for being "shy and watchful" and said that he "radiates a slow magnetism that locks the viewer's eyes on him", ultimately calling him "star quality".[68] Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle stated that Pattinson succeeded at holding his own at the center of a major feature and was "endlessly watchable".[69] Peter Travers of the Rolling Stone said he "smolders" in the film[70] and Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter said that "Pattinson is entirely convincing as Jacob".[71]
Pattinson reprised the role of Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, which was released on 18 November 2011 and earned $705,058,657 at the worldwide box office.[72] The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 24% of critics (of the 188 counted reviews) gave the film a positive review, and the site's consensus reads, "Slow, joyless, and loaded with unintentionally humorous moments, Breaking Dawn Part 1 may satisfy the Twilight faithful, but it's strictly for fans of the franchise."[73] He also played Georges Duroy in a film adaptation of the 1885 novel Bel Ami, and the film had a world premiere at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival.[74] It was released on 12 February 2012.[75]
Pattinson starred in the film adaptation of Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis, directed by David Cronenberg.[76] The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.[77][78] It was well received, with Pattinson's performance particularly praised. Justin Chang of Variety wrote, "An eerily precise match of filmmaker and material, Cosmopolis probes the soullessness of the 1% with the cinematic equivalent of latex gloves. ... Pattinson's excellent performance reps an indispensable asset."[79] Robbie Collin of The Telegraph stated that it is a sensational performance from Robert Pattinson, "yes, that Robert Pattinson – as Packer. Pattinson plays him like a human caldera; stony on the surface, with volcanic chambers of nervous energy and self-loathing churning deep below."[80] And Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly stated, "Pattinson, pale and predatory even without his pasty-white vampire makeup, delivers his frigid pensées with rhythmic confidence."[81]
Pattinson starred one last time as Edward Cullen in the final instalment of the Twilight saga, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 which was released on 16 November 2012, and has grossed over $829 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of the Twilight series.[82][83] At Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 48% approval rating, based on 174 reviews with the consensus stating: "It is the most enjoyable chapter in The Twilight Saga, but that's not enough to make Breaking Dawn Part 2 worth watching for filmgoers who don't already count themselves among the franchise converts."[84]
Pattinson started his career as a model at age 12. In 2013, Dior Homme signed him as the face of their Fragrances. In 2016, he also became the first brand ambassador of their Menswear collection.[85] In late 2013, he appeared in a black and white short film with model Camille Rowe, as the new face of Dior Homme Fragrances.[86][87]
2014–2018: Independent films and critical acclaim
In May 2014, two of Pattinson's films premiered at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.[88] First, Pattinson starred in David Michôd's futuristic western The Rover,[89] alongside Guy Pearce and Scoot McNairy.[90][91] The film had its premiere out of competition at the festival.[92] For his performance as a naïve simpleton member of the criminal gang, Pattinson drew rave reviews. Scott Foundas of Variety said that "Pattinson who turns out to be the film's greatest surprise, sporting a convincing Southern accent and bringing an understated dignity to a role that might easily have been milked for cheap sentimental effects." He further added that "(it is) a career re-defining performance for Pattinson that reveals untold depths of sensitivity and feeling."[93] Todd McCarthy, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, wrote that "Pattinson delivers a performance that, despite the character's own limitations, becomes more interesting as the film moves along."[94] Jessica Kiang in her review for The Playlist, noted that "(Pattinson) turns in a performance that manages to be more affecting than affected."[95]
Next, he reunited with Cronenberg in Maps to the Stars, a satirical drama described as a darkly comic look at Hollywood excess.[96][97] The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.[98] In the film, he played the role of Jerome Fontana, a limo driver and struggling actor, who wants to be a successful screenwriter.[99] Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph summed up his performance as "winningly played."[100]
In 2015, two of his films premiered at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival in February. First he appeared in Werner Herzog's adaptation of Gertrude Bell's biopic film Queen of the Desert alongside Nicole Kidman and James Franco.[101][102] Pattinson appeared as T. E. Lawrence aka Lawrence Of Arabia in the film, which Geoffrey Macnab of The Independent described as "comic and a very long way removed from Peter O'Toole. He plays Lawrence Of Arabia as a sharp-tongued, sardonic figure who can see through the pretensions of his bosses and colleagues."[103] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called his role "brief but significant" and concluded that "the easy camaraderie in his scenes with Kidman is appealing."[104] Sam Adams of Indiewire said that, "Robert Pattinson gets relatively high marks for his brief turn as the bonafide T.E. Lawrence."[105]
Next he starred in Anton Corbijn's Life as Life Magazine photographer Dennis Stock; the film deals with the friendship between actor James Dean and Stock.[106][107] Critical reception for the film was mixed but Pattinson received appreciation for his performance as a photographer. Guy Lodge of Variety called his performance a "sly turn",[108] Little White Lies said that "Pattinson's performance is as crisp as the white shirt and black suits his character always wears. This is a camouflage for his own problems that slowly unfurl, adding colour and improving the film."[109] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter noted that Pattinson "gives arguably the most fully rounded performance."[110]
In late 2015, Pattinson appeared in Brady Corbet's directorial debut film The Childhood of a Leader, alongside Bérénice Bejo and Stacy Martin.[111][112] In the film, he played the dual roles, first a brief but crucial role of Charles Marker, a reporter in Germany during World War I and later as an adult version of the leader. He received praise for his performance, which Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian called "elegant"[113] and Lee Marshall of Screen International described as "excellent".[114]
In 2016, Pattinson appeared in Paramount Pictures and Plan B Entertainment's adaptation of The Lost City of Z, directed by James Gray.[115][116] Premiered at the New York Film Festival, the film stars Pattinson as British explorer Corporal Henry Costin. Pattinson grew a heavy beard and lost 35 pounds of weight for the film.[117] Earning critical praise for his role, Matt Neg of NBP described him as "one of the better actors working today",[118] Keith Uhlich in his review for Brooklyn Magazine called him "subtle scene-stealer",[119] and Linda Marric writing for Heyuguys find his performance "an impressively subtle, yet brilliant."[120]
Pattinson next starred in the Safdie Brothers' neo-grindhouse thriller Good Time, as a bank robber, Connie Nikas,[121] which he has described as a "really hardcore kind of Queens, New York, mentally damaged psychopath, bank robbery movie."[122] The film premiered in competition at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival[123] and proved to be a turning point in his career. Pattinson's performance garnered critical acclaim. Guy Lodge of Variety described it as his "career-peak",[124] Eric Kohn of Indiewire called it "his Career-Best"[125] and David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter drew comparisons with Al Pacino's Sonny Wortzik in Dog Day Afternoon, and ultimately noted it as "his most commanding performance to date."[126] Pattinson received his first Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Male Lead for his performance in the film.[127][128]
In August 2017, while promoting Good Time, Pattinson wrote and starred in a short film for GQ, titled Fear & Shame, which was described by the magazine as, "Robert Pattinson Battles Fame and Fear to Get a New York Street Dog". Shot on the streets of New York, the film narrates Pattinson's journey to buy a hot dog while avoiding media and fans in the hustle of the city.[129][130][131] The A.V. Club called it "bizarre and delightful".[132] While IndieWire said that "he's got a bright" and "shimmering future".[133]
Zellner Brothers' western-comedy Damsel was his first comedy since his 2008 film How to Be.[134] Pattinson portrayed Samuel Alabaster, an eccentric pioneer who travels west in search of his fiancée. His performance was favourably received: the New York Post described it as a "hilariously oddball performance"[135] and The A.V. Club found him "easily the best thing about Damsel".[136]
His last film of 2018 was Claire Denis' science-fiction drama film High Life, set in space, about team of criminals travelling towards black hole.[137][138] Denis initially had Philip Seymour Hoffman in mind for the role of the protagonist, but after becoming aware of Pattinson's commitment and desire to work with her, she cast him in the role instead.[139] Pattinson starred as Monte, one of the criminals on the spaceship, who became a father against his wishes through artificial insemination, and raised his daughter as the ship progressed to the black hole. Critics praised the film with Allen Hunter of Screen International noting Pattinson as the most "dominant" and "engaging" element in the film[140] and Jason Bailey of The Playlist called it "another scorching Pattinson performance; he plays the character's menace and rebellion with brio".[141]
2019–present
Pattinson's first 2019 role was Robert Eggers's black-and-white psychological horror film The Lighthouse, set on a remote New England island in the 1890s.[142] The film premiered at the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, with widespread critical acclaim for both the film overall and Pattinson's performance.[143][144] In his review for The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw described Pattinson's performance as "mesmeric" and a "sledgehammer punch," which "just gets better and better."[145] Gregory Ellwood, writing for Collider, said that Pattinson has "topped himself here" and his performance is "so transformative it's jarring. You simply never thought he had it in him."[146] He received his second Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Male Lead for the film.[147]
Pattinson's following two film releases premiered at 2019 Venice Film Festival, first he starred in his second collaboration with director David Michôd, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's plays titled The King.[148][149] Pattinson played a small but crucial role as The Dauphin of France, who served as the nemesis of Henry V. For the role, Pattinson adopted a French accent, which he based on the fashion industry people of France.[150] Though divided on his accent, critics found his performance the "scene-stealing" and "highlight" of the film.[151][152] He also appeared in Ciro Guerra's Waiting for the Barbarians, based on a 1980 novel by J. M. Coetzee, alongside Mark Rylance and Johnny Depp.[153] Boyd van Hoeij writing for The Hollywood Reporter called his character as "a rather flat supporting role", while The Guardian described his performance as "stiff" and "over-articulated".[154][155]
Upcoming projects
As of March 2020[update], Pattinson has several projects in various stages of production. He has completed filming for Antonio Campos's drama film The Devil All the Time, based on a 2011 novel by Donald Ray Pollock,[156] as well as for Christopher Nolan's globe trotting action film Tenet, alongside John David Washington and Elizabeth Debicki.[157] He is filming for Matt Reeves's upcoming 2021 film The Batman, in which he is playing the title role.[158][159][160] Pattinson is also committed to reteam with Claire Denis to headline her film adaptation of Denis Johnson's 1986 novel The Stars at Noon.[161]
Other ventures
Modelling
Pattinson began modelling at the age of 12, but his workload began to decrease four years later. In December 2008, he blamed the lack of modelling work on his masculine appearance: "When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modelling career."[162] Pattinson appeared as a model for British teen magazines, and in the advertising campaign for Hackett's autumn 2007 collection.[163]
In November 2010, Pattinson was approached by Burberry to be the face of their brand with a £1m deal, which he turned down.[164]

It was like it was supposed to be there."[177] The soundtrack for the film How to Be features three original songs performed by Pattinson[179] and written by composer Joe Hastings.[180] Pattinson has said, "I've never really recorded anything – I just played in pubs and stuff", and when asked about a professional music career, he said, "Music is my back-up plan if acting fails."[177] In 2010, Pattinson was awarded the "Hollywood's Most Influential Top Unexpected Musicians" award.[181]
Pattinson also played the guitar on the Death Grips song "Birds", which was released in November 2013 on their album Government Plates.[182] In a March 2017 interview, Pattinson stated that he would contribute music to his upcoming film Damsel.[183] Talking about it, he said that "I don’t play that much any more, though I am doing music for [‘Damsel’]. I used to differentiate between music and acting but the more I don't play music, the more I push that area of my brain into acting. I improvise like I would when I play music."[122] In February 2019, Pattinson collaborated with the Nottingham band Tindersticks and released the song "Willow" for High Life original soundtrack.[184]

They partner with some remarkable grassroots local heroes who are doing fantastic work but who lack the needed resources, and in places where a little bit of money can go a long way. I’ve been a donor and a supporter, and now I look forward to joining their efforts, so together we can give opportunity to even more kids and young adults across the globe."[209]
In May 2019, at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, he co-hosted a charity event along with Helen Mirren, organized by HFPA. Pattinson along with Mirren donated $500,000 to international aid organization Help Refugees on behalf of HFPA.[210]

The pair eventually broke up in May 2013.[241]
In September 2014, Pattinson began dating singer FKA Twigs. They were rumored to be engaged, but never publicly confirmed it. The couple split in summer 2017.[242]
