Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson used to be a huge fan of Eminem as a teenager and even dreamed of becoming a rapper. Pattinson, who shot to overnight fame by portraying vampire Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga was “obsessed” with Eminem and even made recordings of himself by performing on his own composition, contactmusic reported.
“You want a secret? OK, how about this — I’ve got a whole collection of tapes of me rapping from when I was 13! I wanted to be a rapper so there are hundreds and hundreds of tapes. They’re very amusing!”
“I was obsessed with Eminem when I was younger. When he first came out I was about 12 and fanatical about his Slim Shady CD. I think he’s a genius,” said the 24-year-old actor. The British actor even had his own “crew” but finds his lyrics less-than-authentic. “I’d love to rap with Eminem! That would be really amazing,” he added.
