'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson's has said that his inspiration for his character of a vampire was none other than Hollywood icon James Dean.
The 23-year-old actor did a lot of research for his role as Edward Cullen in the hit movie and admits he used Dean's performance in 'Rebel Without A Cause' as the basis for his character, US Weekend magazine reported.
"Rebel Without A Cause was a big influence on the first (Twilight film), it influenced the hairdo and stuff. In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc, an everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump," Pattinson said.
The British actor shot to international fame when he took on the role of the love-lorn vampire and will next be seen in 'New Moon', the second movie in the 'Twilight' series.
