"  Since starring in both\u00A0Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and\u00A0The Twilight Saga, Robert Pattinson has turned his attention to smaller, less franchise-able movies like\u00A0The Rover\u00A0and\u00A0Cosmopolis.\u00A0But in a new interview with MTV, RPattz revealed that he might have had a shot at a third blockbuster series, had he not totally screwed himself over in the audition. During a tryout for the role of Shia LaBeouf&amp;#039;s BFF in\u00A0Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (the second one), Pattinson attempted to pretend he was American despite the fact that the casting directors knew he was English. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re, like, listening to my backstory about being from Denver,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;And they&amp;#039;re like, &amp;#039;What is this guy on?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Vampire sparkle makeup. That counts as a drug, right? Obviously, he did not get the part, and according to Rob, almost got dropped by his agent because he bombed so badly. His auditioning skills seem to have improved quite a lot, though, because he&amp;#039;s since landed himself roles in movies directed by such auteurs as David Cronenberg, Werner Herzog, Olivier Assayas, and Anton Corbijn. Who&amp;#039;d have thought telling the truth in auditions could work such wonders for your career?\u00A0 RELATED: 30 Actors You Didn&amp;#039;t Know Were Models Hot Men of Yore Old Geezer Robert Pattinson No Longer Spry Enough for\u00A0Twilight, Says Robert Pattinson Follow Eliza on Twitter.\u00A0 Photo credit: Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
