Professional Weirdo Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson likes playing "weirdos".
The 'Twilight' actor - whose big-screen roles have included artist Salvador Dali in biopic 'Little Ashes' and an eccentric musician in 'How To BE' - says he loves taking on unorthodox roles because he can then blame any criticisms of his performance on the character's personality.
He told BANG Showbiz: "When you play a weirdo you always have an excuse - 'He's a weirdo'.
"I was a weirdo in 'The Haunted Airman' and I just changed my opinion about everything."

The British star also spoke of his disappointment at realising his role in 'Vanity Fair' had been cut because he didn't realise until he attended a screening of the movie.
He added: Tom Sturridge and I had scenes right next to each other and it was our first jobs. We went to the screening and we thought the whole thing was a joke anyway, because we had no idea what we were doing.
"We watched Tom's scene and were like, 'Yeah, that's pretty good' and then I was sitting there going, 'Ummm really?' No one had told me that I had been cut out?"
