Alert the tabloids: Harry Potter actor linked to drug house! Twenty-two-year-old Robert Pattinson foundly recalls his time living in a "cool little ex-crack den" in London with best friend Tom Sturridge. He's joking (we think) about their bad behaviour as struggling young actors. "We spent the better part of a year just getting drunk every night," Pattinson admits. "I don't know if that counts as �struggling�." After the debauchery ended, Pattinson co-starred as Cedric Diggory in two Harry Potter movies. A former child model- he posed professionally from ages 12 to 15 ("when I stopped looking like a girl")- Pattinson has been dubbed "the next Jude Law" in british press. "I don't really see the similarity," he says. One opportunity to break out comes via next year's Little Ashes, a Spanish drama in which Pattinson stars as young Salvador Dali. But first there's the vampire thriller Twilight, based on the popular teen books, in which Pattinson plays Edward, a 108-year old bloodsucker in love with a high school girl. Horror fans are already stalking him. "It's funny," Pattinson says, "because teenage girls would say, `Oh my God, you're Cedric!�It switched in a week to �Oh my God, it's Edward!�Allegiances change so freely in the teen-girl world."

Men f�rst �r det vampyr thrillern Twilight, baserad p� de popul�ra ton�rs b�ckerna d�r Pattinson spelar Edward, en 108-�rig blodsugare k�r i en high school tjej. Skr�ck fans f�rf�ljer honomredan.
