Robert Pattinson was catapulted to fame in his role as Edward Cullen for The Twilight Saga, but before the franchise made him a household name, apparently he dissed the movies.

His Bel Ami co-star, Natalia Tena, who plays a prostitute in the movie, said that Rob didn’t think too much of the vampire flick before he made his name.

She said, “We had this summer of being really close. I remember Robert taking me out a few months later. He was like, ‘I’m just saying goodbye because I’m going to America for a few months to do some vampire thing.’”

In other related Rob news, sources have revealed that Rob is looking to get rid of his reputation as a heartthrob. An insider said, “Robert is excited about moving on to other more diverse roles after Twilight and playing a villain is very appealing to him.”

The source went on to say, “One character he is fascinated with would see him playing a serial killer while there are others for villainous characters in major Hollywood blockbusters as well as an indy movie. Robert wants to show he has range to his acting and doesn’t want to be typecast as the hero or the heartthrob.”
