Robert Pattinson said he looked to Hollywood icon James Dean for inspiration when portraying Edward Cullen in ‘Twilight.’
“Rebel Without a Cause was a big influence on the first ["Twilight" film] — it influenced the hairdo and stuff,” Pattinson says, laughing. “In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc: An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump.”
Robert still doesn’t really know what to make of all the interest he receives.
“I’m not entirely sure what it is,” he says. “I’ll probably realize afterward how I could have controlled it a little bit more. But I am still like a deer in headlights.”
He’s even okay with people calling him Edward.
“Right at the beginning, everyone just called me Edward,” he says. “I don’t really mind either way. There’s something about that character that, for some reason, has sparked an interest in massive degrees in so many different people.
“If you want to compete with your own character, you have to really fight. I don’t know if I could be bothered to fight,” he says, chuckling again. “I just let it go by.”
Sounds like a wise strategy to me- LOL.

dont find him attractive either.
I agree. Such a waste!
Yep, just like the other two main characters from Rebel without a cause. Great movie!
Dayum, I love me some Jimmy Dean. So sexy. Such a shame he died so young.
This guy is so freaking UGLY!
He’s not hot but there is something about the look in his eyes… I’m still trying to figure out what it is
James Dean? Really, looks more like he was inspired by Teen Wolf… he’s icky looking
I like him, I am excited to see how his career falls into pace.
I understand this is your website but please less twilight and more about other stars!
i dont think hes cute
I don’t find him physically attractive, but his personality is a draw.
I can see it, but only in the hair (a little).
Yep, still not not a fan of his.
