    The Twi-star took to the stage with Hugh Jackman in Japan

    Actor Hugh Jackman has spilled the beans on taking to the stage with Twilight star Robert Pattinson, revealing they teamed up for a spot of karaoke during a trip to Japan back in 2009.

    So when the actor was invited along to for an evening of singing, dancing fun during with actor Hugh Jackman and director Baz Lurhman during a trip to Japan, it seems he jumped at the chance.

    ‘We [he and director Baz Luhrmann] invited Rob, and he came. And it was so much fun. Man, he’s got a voice. Really soulful,’ Jackman told MTV News of the Breaking Dawn star’s singing talents.

    But despite wowing on the stage, when it came to decking himself out with karaoke props, the actor said R-Patz was definitely 'too cool for school.'

    ‘The first thing you do is you get inside this room, the doors are closed, and there’s, like, eight of you,’ he recalled of the evening.

    ‘So it feels a little weird. And then all of a sudden, they open, and they bring in these boxes, which are basically [full of] dress-up [clothes], and it’s all girls’ clothes. I was a schoolgirl, Baz got dressed up, and Rob did not. He was too cool for school.’

    Brilliant.
