He could have a huge ego. British actor Robert Pattnson is one of the highest paid in Hollywood - just in the last year, he earned $26,5M according to Forbes. The blue eyed guy has a legion of rabid fans, that follow him everywhere, and to add to that, he has been getting offers from acclaimed filmmakers. An example is the Canadian David Cronenberg, that directed him in Cosmopolis - the movie was in competition for the Palm D'Or in Cannes and will be released in Brazil in August. In person, however, Pattinson surprises for his humility and sense of humor. "All of a sudden, I left a ridiculous £500 paycheck and became a Hollywood star. And all of that happened without me proving anything." jokes the actor, that became famous all over the world with the Twilight saga, which started in 2008 and has made since then $2.5 billions.
