The super-hot star admitted that after watching one of Kristen's films, he was really impressed with her acting talent.

So when he found out the teenage starlet was auditioning for new movie Twilight he just had to be there.

The only reason I went to the audition was to see Kristen because I'd just seen Into The Wild,' the handsome Mr Pattinson said in an interview with OK!.

Since then the couple have shot to fame after the Twilight Saga's unprecedented success around the world.

But despite this, the publicity-shy pair choose to stay out of the limelight when not promoting their films, and any romance between them has been a closely guarded secret.
