Robert Pattinson auditioned for a role Twilight because he had a crush on Kristen Stewart.
The heartthrob actor – who played vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie franchise based on the best-selling book by Stephenie Meyer – admits his main motivation to win the role was getting to know the actress, who had already been cast as love interest Bella Swann.
He said: “I read the script and I barely knew that they were books too. The only reason I went to the audition was to see Kristen, because I’d just seen Into The Wild.
“Of course I had a crush on her but we are just very good friends.”Robert – who has denied claims he and Kristen are enjoying a secret romance – insists he is single and on the lookout for a new girlfriend but doesn’t have a type.
He said: “I am young, free and single. I like people being forward. Gosh, I don’t know. I like strong people, chiselled abs… I take what I can get.”
