At age 15 and after two years of working backstage, he auditioned for the play 'Guys and Dolls' and he got his first role as a Cuban dancer with no lines. But as a teenager, he joined the local amateur theatre club after his father convinced him to attend because he was quite shy. Thinking about becoming a musician or going to university to study speech-writing, he never thought about pursuing an acting career and his drama teacher in school even advised him not to join the drama club because she thought he wasn't made for the creative subjects. In his late teens and early twenties, he used to perform solo acoustic guitar gigs at open mic nights in bars and pubs around London where he sung his own written songs. He became a big cinephile for love of auteur cinema in his early teens and preferred to watch films rather than doing his homework. Robert discovered his love for music long before acting and started learning the guitar and piano at the age of four. He grew up in Barnes, southwest London with two older sisters. Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson was born in London, England, to Richard Pattinson, a car dealer importing vintage cars, and Clare Pattinson (née Charlton), who worked as a booker at a model agency.
