Robert Pattinson has revealed that he only took up modeling to meet girls.
The Twilight actor became a model when he was 12 but admitted that he wasn't very good at it.
He told GQ Germany: "I [modeled] to meet girls. I was still young. I did it without a plan for a career of any form."
Pattinson, who was recently announced as the face of Dior Homme, said: "When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool.
"Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modeling career."
Twilight author Stephenie Meyer admitted this week that she felt sorry for Pattinson, who starred as Edward Cullen in the film franchise.
She said: I don't think anybody thought it was going to be like that. It's gone crazy. Hopefully it quiets down for them too."
