How come Rob Pattinson has an accent in real life but not in the movie twilight?

Because Edward does not have an english accent so he had to drop it for the movie

he either had to take classes for that or taught himself how to drop it for the movie

He just uses and American accent for the movie. A lot of actors do that. Ever watch the show House? Hugh Laurie has a British accent also, but House doesn't.

Edward's character is not from Europe... Rob Pattinson is, so he had to have an American accent for the movie.

Because Edward lives in Washington and used to live in Alaska. So Rob had to try and speak in an American accent :)

Well some Americans do good British Accents, so i guess that some foreign accent countries could do a good American accent.

Because, in the book, Edward does not have an accent.

So he had to try and make it seem like he did not have an accent at all.

It slipped in though.

I heard it every once in a while. XD

bc he is super hott and is a great actor i love him so much he is so sexxy lol but he is required to have a american accent in twilight(best movie ever i love it im so obsessed) but in real life he has a different accent

Because the part didn't call for an accent.

Edward didnt have an accent.

Rob dropped it for the movie

because when he is acting he does and american accent. when you're an actor/actress you have to be able to do many different kinds of accents
