Robert Pattinson Talks 'Twilight' And Why He Got Into Acting: 'To Meet Girls'

First Posted: 11/09/11 09:22 AM ET   Updated: 11/09/11 09:34 AM ET

While millions and millions of teen and tweens await the highly teased, "Breaking Dawn Part 1," Robert Pattinson revealed on "The Late Show" with David Letterman that the very reason he got into acting in the first place was "to meet girls."

Looks like you can check that one off your list!

Letterman opened up the interview asking what the "Twilight" hunk sees for his future, to which he replied that he's working on a David Cronenberg film, where he stars as a billionaire currency trader, based on a Don DeLillo work. So grown up!

The late night host then went on to ask about the teenage girl fan-base. But, Pattinson stepped in and corrected him.

"It's not just teenage girls," he said. It's older than people realize. And the older ones are the far more passionate fans."

Young and old will unite on November 18, when "Breaking Dawn Part 1" hits theaters.

All downhill since Harry Potter days. He needs a new hair stylist who is brave enough to tackle every single unruly hair attached to him from the neck up. Get those caterpillars and jowls under control, and figure out something to do with that head of hair. Sheesh. And a bit of sunlight might help too. He's too young to look like a hairy ghoul.

He's used this story before several times

Anyway, a case of "be careful what you wish for." Now he can't even leave his house!

Your right MIMom, Ladies need to embrace themselves and work for a healthy body not a sickly, thin one.

I can't wait for the Cronenberg adaptation of a DeLillo novel. That has serious potential.

Well we know you didn't get into acting cause you thought you'd be good at it. I tried watching a Twilight movie once. I couldn't figure just which of the principal leads was the worst actor. These people make Keanu look talented.
