Robert Pattinson claims he is "so bad" at auditioning.
The ‘Twilight Saga’ actor – who recently admitted he doesn’t know if he has an audience outside the popular franchise – was afraid he wouldn’t get the lead role in his upcoming drama, ‘The Rover,’ because he still gets nervous in front of casting directors.
The 27-year-old British star said: "I’m so bad at auditioning and I was terrified that I wasn’t going to get it."
Despite his high profile and huge success, producers made Robert fight for the role in the Australian film, which tells the story of a ruthless ex-soldier who tracks down the men who stole his only valuable possession, alongside Guy Pearce.
He told ‘ET Canada’ at the Cannes International Film Festival: "I really, really fought for it."
Once he landed the role, the heartthrob relaxed.
He explained: "It’s a character that doesn’t really have any constraints, it’s not really specified where he’s from or what his desires are, or really what his mental state is, and I felt really relaxed doing it because you could just do whatever you wanted basically."
Robert says the movie helped boost his confidence.
He explained: "I felt for a second that I kind of knew what I was doing a little bit. Because I just sort of fell into acting, I’ve never really felt like that before."
