As Robert looked like a girl at young age, he began a modelling career when he was twelve years old. Pattington’s modelling career was a great success until he began to grow a beard and look more or less as a guy, heheh.. I guess he would have been more successfull as a girl then as a boy.. Ok, enough with the jokes.. For real: Pattinson explained in December 2008, “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.

Robert Pattison Quotes

• “I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don’t know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it’s kind of stuck with me.”
• “I’ve changed so much. I’m not nearly as cocky as I was, I was a real prat for the first month. I didn’t talk to anyone. I just drank coffee and told everyone I was 24 and this famous theatre actor just back from South Africa.”
• “Thats the worst thing, I dont really care if people say I’m a bad actor, I can like work on that, but if they just say that he’s ugly thats just like “oh.. really?”
• “I am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me!”
• “Sometimes I think, ‘To hell with acting,’ and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop, acting is much cooler.”

Celebrity X No. 11

Before moving on to a new Celebrity X issue, I want to apologize because I didn`t publish new posts in the past two days. Last week I announced some brand new categories that are yet to come and other interesting stuff which are scheduled to appear on CelebritiesTAN.com throughout this week. We are considering migrating site to Wordpress platform because it is more flexible and gives us much more room to play with some new and exciting features. In that way we could make the site even more interactive and playful so you would have more stuff to enjoy on CelebritiesTAN.com. Because of this transfer we are spending a lot of time researching what is the best way to export data and migrate the design to have better look and feel for you as our number one priority. Given that, please have some patience for the next month or so. We’ll keep you posted about our progress.

Today I prepared a little bit harder Celebrity X issue. This picture is really rare, and there is no way to know who it is, unless you are his loyal fan. But don`t worry, I`ll give you few hints. The person on the picture was born in Los Angeles, but his mother moved from Germany to the U.S. during her childhood, while his father is half of Italian and half German descent. His parents gave him name after one worldwide famous artist, but soon they divorced, when he was just one year old. He firstly appeared in a TV show as a five years old boy. In relatively short period of time he managed to progress into top category of Hollywood superstars, with his extraordinary sense for acting. He has amazing list of roles in numerous blockbusters in his successful acting history, but his claim to fame was role in which he acted as Toby in This Boy’s Life in 1993. I hope this helps you enough to realize who could it be. Continue reading and find out is your answer the right one. Be sure to double-click on the “+/- Show Answer” link right below to reveal the answer.


Maybe the most important fact was that little boy on the picture was named after one famous artist(or to be more precise precise, after famous painter). That painter is the greatest genius of Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci. The story says that his pregnant mother was standing in front of a da Vinci painting at a museum in Italy when Leo first kicked. Ok, it`s obvious now that today Celebrity X is Leonardo Di Caprio. I hope that it wasn`t too hard to guess this celebrity, and if you want to read more about Leo, then visit his Celebrity Then And Now article, where you`ll find everything about his childhood and way to fame, as well as unique collection of rare pictures from his younger days. Enjoy!

Celebrity X No. 10

I returned from my trip to Venice, but now I wish that I could stay at least few days longer. You should go there if you still haven`t seen it, because Venice looks really wonderful, much better than on TV. The only problem is that the crowds are extremely annoying. When you are standing on the main square, Piazza San Marco, it almost feels like you are on a football match on some overcrowded stadium. But it is definitely worth to see such a great cultural attraction for a little bit of elbow pushing.

We are moving on with a new Celebrity X issue, which is in front of you. This one shouldn`t be hard to guess, because we have another Hollywood celebrity who became so popular today that you just can`t avoid hearing some gossip about her. Or gossip about her husband, equally famous actor, who is sixteen years older than her, or even their three year old daughter. Our Celebrity X began a highly publicized relationship with the mentioned actor in early 2005, and in November 2006 they got married in Italy. She first achieved worldwide fame for her role in one successful television teen drama (shown from 1998 to 2003). With these few hints, you should already know enough to guess who could it be. Follow the link below to find out if you are right, and to see few more interesting facts from her younger days. Check out the answer by double-clicking the “+/- Show Answer” link right below this text.


Okay, you could presume that we are talking about Kate Noelle Holmes, better known as Katie Holmes, and her husband Tom Cruise. You must still remember her role as Joey Potter from Dawson`s Creek, although it`s been for a while from then. Also you probably know everything about their daughter Suri, because she is one of the most exposed famous couples children in Hollywood. Katie was born in Toledo, Ohio, as the youngest child in a family of five children. She attended all-female Notre Dame Academy high school, where she was a very good student. Back at that time she appeared in school musicals at St. John’s Jesuit, a nearby all-male high school. If you want to know more about Katie`s childhood and how she became famous, you will soon be able to read everything about her in her Celebrities Then And Now category, when I finish it. Until then you can choose some other celebrity from the same category, or using Next Random Celebrity button on upper right corner of the site.

Celebrity X No. 9

It`s been raining the whole day here at my place, and the weather is generally terrible, with lot of southern winds. Maybe it`s good for surfing, but most of people are freaking out because of that. And world news are not making things easier at all. I hope that this fast spreading swine flu is not going to appear in your area, but lot of people are concerned and stressed out because of cases in their neighborhood.

To forget about all problems just for few minutes and to cheer you up a little bit, I decided to publish maybe the funniest picture from my whole collection which contains various pictures of celebrities when they were young. I suppose it is hard to stop laughing when you see this lovely baby on the picture. Well, if you didn`t know, this little baby, which was born in Englewood (New Yersey) in 1954, is one of the major future Hollywood stars. His father was a second-generation Italian American and his mother was Irish American. He was the youngest of six children in family, so it is sure that he had to fight for himself throughout the childhood. If you have older brothers, you`ll know what am I talking about. He has impressive list of roles in his cereer, but probably one of the most famous is that one from Quentin Tarantino`s megahit Pulp Fiction. I think that you should have enough hints to try to guess who could it be.


To be more precise, he was playing Vincent Vega, one of the main roles in legendary Pulp Fiction, and now I am sure that all of you know that his name is John Travolta, because I don`t know what have you been doing all this time if you didn`t watch such a great classic as Pulp Fiction. One of interesting facts that I have found when I was preparing this article is that Richard Gere practically owes Travolta whole his film career, because our Celebrity X turned down the leads for Days of Heaven (1978), American Gigolo (1980), An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), and Chicago (2002), all of which went to Gere. Another awesome fact is that Travolta is a certified pilot and owns five aircraft, including an ex-Australian Boeing 707 airliner. This plane bears the name Jett Clipper Ella in honor of his children. Pan American World Airways was a large operator of the Boeing 707 and used Clipper in its names. The 707 bears the marks of Qantas, as Travolta acts as an official goodwill ambassador for the airline wherever he flies. And if he needs to fly away intantly, his $4.9 million estate in the Jumbolair subdivision in Ocala, Florida, is situated on Greystone Airport with its own runway and taxiway right to his front door. How awesome is that? When I find all great fact about him, his full article will appear in Celebrities Then And Now category, but before that, another CTAN issue about one famous celebrity will be published. It`s going to stay a surprise who is that celebrity , so come back and see it for yourself next week.
