In 2014, Rob made a guest appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers to promote the U.S. release of “The Rover”. During their conversation, Seth asked Rob if it was true that, when he was a kid, he wanted to be a rapper. Rob replied “Yeah, 100%. I still kinda do.” He then revealed his rap alter ego: Big Tub. He admitted to Seth that he didn’t know how to “scratch”, so he used to pull the zipper up and down on his hoodie. LOL Sadly, the recordings of Big Tub and the Tabbycats remain hidden to this day. I suspect we would all be pre-ordering if they ever dropped a CD. And we’re still impatiently awaiting for that global tour announcement. 

Rob has come a long way since playing our favorite Hufflepuff, Cedric Diggory, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Following HP, we saw him as a haunted, injured pilot, a geeky high school student, a depressed young man trying to find his place in life, and Spanish artist Salvador Dali. Not long after, he became our favorite member of the Cullen family. As the Twilight Saga came to an end, he moved on to equally memorable characters: a college student struggling with the loss of his brother and strained relationship with his father, a veterinarian who finds his home in a traveling circus, a young soldier’s manipulative rise to power in Paris, an asset manager’s crosstown journey to get a haircut, a bullied man on a road trip to find the brother who abandoned him during a botched robbery, a limo driver looking for a break in Hollywood, British archaeologist and diplomat Col. T.E. Lawrence (a.k. Lawrence of Arabia), famed photographer Dennis Stock, a widower politician in 1918 France, and a British corporal on an expedition to discover a lost civilization.

In the midst of bringing all of these vibrant characters to life on the big screen, he is also one of the new faces of Dior.

It’s been an exhilarating ride since he played a Tri-Wizard champion and it continues with new films “Good Time”, “Damsel”, and “High Life” coming our way.

Rob, it’s been a pleasure watching you grow as an actor and we look forward to continuing the journey with you. Happy 31st Birthday and much success and happiness to you in the coming year from Robert Pattinson Australia! 

Jules…I thought your birthday would be a fitting occasion to celebrate your artistic talent as well. You’ve shared so many brilliant Photoshop creations with us, I thought I would put together a couple of my favorites. Needless to say, picking a couple wasn’t an easy task. On behalf of Rob, Tyler, Jacob, Georges, and Rey, have a wonderful day and year ahead! xx

As we are all aware, Rob’s Birthday is coming up very soon on the 13 May, a day we could never forget 🙂 This year we are supporting Rob’s Birthday Project which supports the wonderful GO Campaign who Rob is of course, an ambassador for.  The Birthday Project is launching Thursday 14 April & you can see all the details here at their site. And of course, we will keep you updated throughout the project.

It’s almost a throwback Saturday.  These gorgeous photos of Rob were taken at the Water for Elephants Press Conference in LA on 3 April 2011.  Where have the last 5 years gone.
