In 2008, he landed the role of Edward Cullen in the film Twilight. The film grossed more than $390million and turned Pattinson into a global superstar. He reprised the role in a number of equally successful Twilight sequels. His other film credits include Remember Me (2010), Water for Elephants (2011), Cosmopolis (2012) and The Rover (2014).

Career: Willem toured with Theatre X for four years, before joining avant garde New York company The Performance Group. He made his first venture into film acting with a role in Heaven's Gate, but was cut from the finished movie. He went on to win parts in To Live and Die in LA and The Loveless, but his big break came with Platoon, which earned him an Oscar nomination. He also made headlines in 1988 when he took the lead role in the controversial The Last Temptation of Christ. Since then, his movies have included Mississippi Burning, Born on the Fourth of July, The English Patient, Shadow of the Vampire (for which he received another Oscar nod) and Spider-Man. His more recent films include Antichrist, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, Daybreakers and Miral.
