Some time ago, reports surfaced saying that Robert Pattinson was in the running to play Kurt Cobain in a new biopic. Courtney Love was quick to shoot those rumors down saying that it would be stupid and wrong for the ‘Twilight’ actor to play the part. It seems that Rob doesn’t disagree but is definitely pissed at the rock singer for making such a fuss. He said “I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much – I’d be embarrassed [to play Kurt Cobain]. I didn’t get offered it. For one thing, I’m too tall, and I can’t sing like him, I’m nothing like him. It’s ridiculous … You see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying, ‘What the fuck! He’s totally wrong for it’, and I’m like, ‘I fucking said no, you dick!”

Robert Pattinson is talking about how he is now too famous to just go to open mic nights. The actor says “I used to write a lot more music by just doing gigs, just turning up to open mics and stuff with two lines of the song and then the pressure would force me to make something up on the spot. And I can’t really do that anymore, which was my main process for writing songs. When I sit down to write some lyrics it just sounds like rubbish. All the songs I’ve done before were based on as much of a stream of consciousness as you can get. I’ve been talking to people (producers) about stuff for ages, where I play a musician. I’d really like to, but it’s quite difficult to do. I think it’s a bit risky as well. I think I’m doing another movie after the movie I’m doing now but I think I’ll try and write some music, hopefully by the end of the year.” I actually like him as a singer. He was pretty good with the two songs that he had on the ‘Twilight’ soundtrack.
