Robert Pattinson used to want to be a rapper. While it’s hard to believe now, Robert Pattinson had gangsta rap ambitions as a youngster growing up in the UK. In fact, he credits being able to play American roles by listening to hip-hop albums and mimicking them in order to perfect a stateside dialect.

more RPattz after the hop…

He recently told Oprah:

“I used to want to be a rapper when I was like 14, I swear to God! I have a lot of recordings, I used to do an American accent.”

Ha! That should be RPattz next role, gangsta hip hop star. I’d watch that before I’d watch Breaking Dawn.

What about you? Would you watch a movie about a Robert Pattinson as a rapper?
