Pattinson would later rocket to global stardom when he secured the lead role of brooding vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise in 2008, based on the best-selling book series by Stephenie Meyer.

Since then, the Hollywood heartthrob has delved into a range of diverse roles, with notable performances in movies such as Christopher Nolan's mind-bending blockbuster Tenet and the critically acclaimed indie flick The Lighthouse. Recently, he's been wowing critics with his performance in Nolan's The Odyssey.

Pattinson scored another highly coveted gig when he was cast as Bruce Wayne in 2022's The Batman. His gritty performance as the caped crusader garnered him critical acclaim, and he'll also star in the much-anticipated sequel.

His estimated net worth currently stands at around $80 million (£60m). Much of that comes from his blockbuster Twilight role. He reportedly earned a base salary of $25 million (£18m), as well as a generous cut of the box office profits, for the last two films in the series. Meanwhile, he banked a cool $3 million (£2m) for The Batman.
