Robert Pattinson lost a karaoke contest to Hugh Jackman. The British actor is set to star in ‘Unbound Captives’ with the ‘X Men Origins: Wolverine’ star and revealed they bonded by seeing who could perform the best renditions of classic tracks by Swedish group Abba. Robert said:
“We met up in Japan and we went karaoke singing. We were singing Abba songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an Abba song sing-off, you know, last man standing.
“I think he won, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune. He’s a cool guy and I’m really looking forward to that film.”
Robert has previously shown his musical side by recording songs for the ‘Twilight’ soundtrack and despite also featuring in the music for sequel ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ says he felt like “a t****r” when the movie came out. He told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper:
“When the first film came out I felt like a complete t****r. It looked like I was trying to be cool or something, like Eminem. You know, be in a movie and then do a song for the soundtrack. But I didn’t look cool, I just looked ridiculous.”
I would imagine no one else thought he looked ridiculous.

WHAT? A movie with both Hugh Jackman and Robert Pattison. Oh yeah, I’m seeing it for sure.
Hugh Jackman and Abba… Hehehe!
By the way, I wonder what a “t****r” is
me too! what does that mean?
I was wondering the exact same thing. Like, “Salad tosser?” Who knows. Crazy limeys.
Well I searched Google and apparently it means “tosser”, which is just another word for “wanker”
there’s nothing wrong with saying tosser … why not writing it ? we write worst things on this site all day long
Rob is always self-deprecating.
What would I give to see Rob and Hugh sining ABBA songs together, drunk?!
You and me both!! I was thinking that same thing! LOL
The film is called Unbound Captives it stars Rob, Hugh and Rachel Weisz. It’s a western and has an amazing script. I can’t wait to see that.
A western starring an Australian guy and 2 people from England?
Ooh, thanks for the info! I am in love with Rachel Weisz!!!
oh lordy! is there anything that hugh can’t do?
A small info: they’re actors, theyacan so accents.
I’m aware of that. But I’ll still be watching this thinking: Wow, 2 Brits and an Australian guy in a western…
Like James Caan playing Italian characters
Who would go up against Hugh Jackman in a karaoke battle?? He’s like the King of Broadway!
Seriously! I wouldn’t attempt that.
That must have been great fun!
