In an out of character move, the usually calm star defended himself against one of Courtney's notorious Twitter tirades in a new interview.

The spat first started when Courtney took to the social networking site to air her view on Robert Pattinson's supposed Kurt Cobain role in a new biopic, telling followers he was 'wrong' for the part.

'Isn’t that so stupid, who would cast him? That’s just wrong, no offense' Courtney furiously Tweeted.

But now Rob has hit back at the Hole singer's claims, revealing he was never even offered a part in the film.

'Sometimes these things just appear' R-Patz told the Mirror of the rumours.

'I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much – I’d be embarrassed.

'And you see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying "What the f***! He’s totally wrong for it", and I’m like, "I f****** said no, you d**k!" I didn’t get offered it.'

Ouch.

'For one thing, I’m too tall, and I can’t sing like him, I’m nothing like him!’ It’s ridiculous,' Rob added.

It's not yet known who will take the lead in the Kurt Cobain biopic, but rumours suggest Scarlett Johansson could be set to play Courtney Love.

Would you like to see R-Patz play Kurt Cobain? Or do you agree he's totally wrong for the role? Let us know your thoughts in the comments box below.

I think Jonathan Rhys Myers would make a great Kurt Cobain and he has a great rock voice, saw him in August Rush, amazing actor.

I thought it was Gary Lucy that had been cast

rob would be GREAT as kurt, he is just as soulful, softspoken, introspective, artistic, and beautiful as kurt, and the ONLY actor out there who has enough fame and character to realistically pull off reprising kurt's life.
