On Friday, Robert Pattinson turns 36. He made his movie debut in 2005 with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and he became a household term after starring in The Twilight Saga.
Robert was harnessing his supernatural skills as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire years before he sparkled (literally) on-screen as vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight, as well as even before he took on the lead role in The Batman. Cedric, his character, made a gallant sacrifice to Voldemort to allow Harry to escape, breaking the hearts of Harry Potter fans worldwide.
Although many people link Robert Pattinson with the role, the actor once stated that he and Cedric could not be more dissimilar. According to Robert Pattinson: The Unauthorized Biography, he stated he didn't care for the role that helped him advance his career.
According to the book, Robert stated the role that undoubtedly put him on the map, "I loathe him." "At my school, I used to despise everyone like Cedric." When he was cast in the Harry Potter franchise, he was 17 years old. In a 2017 interview with Time Out London, he admitted that he preferred Harry Potter to academia.
He also explained what distinguished him from his on-screen counterpart. Robert claimed he had never been a leader and that being named head boy would have been absurd. "At school, I wasn't involved in much, and I was never picked for any teams," he explained.
Robert stated why playing the attractive wizard in Harry Potter was a challenge, calling it "very difficult." "That's like, 'an incredibly attractive 17-year-old,' in the novel, and also in my character's initial introduction in the script, and it throws you off when you're trying to act while also trying to get good angles to look good and stuff. It's ridiculous; you'd think I'm extremely vain. "It's far scary than meeting Lord Voldemort," Robert added."
