NEW YORK (AP) Robert Pattinson that A-list international heartthrob may owe a little thanks to rising star Tom Riley.
It was Riley who replaced Pattinson at the last minute in a 2005 stage production of “The Woman Before” at London’s Royal Court Theatre. The change was made so late that programs and announcements to the press had been made before the switch.
“By the time the reviews came out, they were saying lovely things about newcomer Robert Pattinson,” says the British actor. “But it was me.”
Pattinson used the positive reviews to help fuel his rise to “Twilight” fame. Riley, who went on to star on Broadway, TV and films, has no hard feelings.
