Five things you might not know about Robert Pattinson, aka Cedric Diggory

(The above video is the Twilight trailer)

Robert Pattinson, who is best known for his roles as Cedric Diggory and Edward Cullen, is starting to become quite the popular hunk around town. Here are five things you probably don’t know about him:

1. Apparently, his favorite curse word is “tike”, an offensive British term which refers to a “crude, ill-bred person who lacks culture or refinement.” In America, we would call him a snob! (A sexy snob though.)
2. When he was young, his sisters used to dress him up as a girl and call him “Claudia”. I love the name Claudia—it’s so ‘80s. I think it needs to be brought back.
3. He finds Ugg boots to be a very unattractive fashion statement. Guess he won’t be dating most of young Hollywood then…
4. His fans now call him “Spunk Ransom” or “Ransom Spunk” in an interview with MTV, he requested it, saying that he hates the name “Robert”. I suspect he was joking about those particular names, but you know how rabid fans are about taking their idol’s words literally.
5. He’s a rebel and was expelled from school at the age of 12, conveniently also the same age when he had his first kiss. Was he perhaps expelled for necking AT school?

Anything else we don’t know about Cedric? How about does he have a girlfriend…..what’s his favorite food…..what color is his toothbrush….you know, important stuff like that. :>)

    Robert Pattinson is so hot… my teacher loves twilight so much she has a poster of Edward and Bella in her classroom. I just finished Breaking Down (the fourth Twilight saga books)! it was amazing!!!!!

    His real character really isn’t that much like Edward Cullen or Cedric Diggory. He seems a bit of a snob…

    He seems like a snob? Are you joking me. You must not read people very well then. He’s completely down to earth. How would you feel having thousands of fans screaming at you every day? You would feel like avoiding them after awhile. Don’t base a completely rude opinion about someone you haven’t ever met. :)

    He’s a cutie that’s cuddle-worthy.

    Couldn’t imagine living life the way he has to live it now….no privacy. He could always come visit New England, have a beer and hang out by the fire pit and pool with us ! LOL
