Rob Pattinson: "Music Is My Backup Plan"

Ok, we really doubt Rob Pattinson's acting career is going to tank - after all, he was great in Harry Potter, and his upcoming role in Twilight is practically getting as much hype as Leonardo got for Titanic! However, in a recent interview with the LA Times, the hunky 22-year-old reveals that he's prepared if the whole acting thing doesn't pan out. "Music is my backup plan if acting fails," he says. "I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket."
As you may know, Rob has a song on the official Twilight soundtrack titled "Never Think," and he's even performed at Hollywood venues such as Whiskey a Go Go. But, the talented Brit doesn't want his fans to think that he's using acting as a way to launch a singing gig. "That’s what I was scared about, it looks like I’m trying to get a music career out of it or something," he said. "I’ve never really recorded anything - I just played in pubs and stuff – and I really didn’t want it to look like I was trying to cash in. I hope it doesn’t come across as that. I’m not going to be doing any music videos or anything."
First of all, we find it cute that Rob is so modest, and second, he really needs to rethink the whole music video thing! We (along with the thousands of other Rob-sessed ones) would love nothing more than to see him rocking out on MTV - he can be just like Johnny Depp, Jared Leto and all those other sexy actor/rockers!
Yum!
