Robert Pattinson may be one of the world’s biggest stars, but even he’s felt the sting of rejection.
On this week’s episode of “The Big Ticket,” Variety and iHeartRadio’s movie podcast, Pattinson tells me he was 19 years old when he was fired from a theater job just days before the show was set to open.
“I left and I was very self-pitying,” Pattinson said. “I walked out and I went to this pub by the river and got absolutely trashed, and then saw that Little Richard was playing in the South Bank in London. I went to a Little Richard concert afterwards, just wept the whole time. I was like, ‘This is the most amazing, amazing concert I’ve ever seen.’”
Turns out that Pattinson is such a big fan of Little Richard that he waited by the stage door for an hour and a half to get his autograph.
