Robert Pattinson admits his acting career is a happy accident.

The hunky Twilight star says his dream job was to be a musician.

“The acting thing happened by accident, a fluke,” Pattinson said. “What I wanted to be was a musician, and play the piano in bars. I wanted to go to Nice and play on the beach in a tuxedo.

“I thought that was cool. It’s such a romantic idea. All you have is your one tuxedo. That was my dream job growing up. I haven’t written any songs for a while though.”

Rob, 23, recently admitted he’s scared about life outside of the Twilight movie franchise.

“You get offered stuff that you would never dream of getting offered before, but that’s also scary,” he told MTV earlier this month. “You don’t have to audition for anything. But I don’t want to do a movie just so it gets made. You have to question yourself a lot more.

“Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got offered, and you’d try and make the best of it afterward.

“But now, you’re expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well. You can’t just mess around. People are like, ‘We’re employing you to be here, as a star and an actor’. It’s difficult, and it’s scary.”
