Twilight star Robert Pattinson turned down a lucrative record deal with Simon Cowell because he was convinced no one would like his music.
The actor, who plays guitar and piano, and composes his own songs, has rejected offers from several major music companies and admits former American Idol judge Cowell was desperate to recruit him for his own firm.
But Pattinson insists he wouldn’t fit in with the reality TV star’s talent roster — because Cowell only works with artists who are popular with the public.
He says, “I love Simon, I think he is a great personality and I think his shows are entertaining. He is a clever guy and he created artists that he knows the public will like, that’s why I don’t think he could ever launch my music career.
“I am selfish with my music. I get my guitar and I play what I like, but the problem is I don’t think many other people would like it.”
But Pattinson is confident his music will be appreciated someday, adding: “I am sure I’ll be one of those artists that people don’t pay any attention to while I’m alive, and when I am dead people will go yeah, man, that was a work of art.”

-Edward-
As I placed Renesmee's hand in Jacob's, whispered to me, "Thank you."
That took me by surprise. As I took my seat next Bella, she whispered, too low for the surrounding humans to hear, that she was proud of me.
When it was over, I was convinced myself and Bella had had a less melodramatic ceremony than this. Then again, perhaps it had been even more so.
Alice had gone over-the-top with decorations, not that Renesmee minded. She was unlike Bella in that way. When it was my turn to dance with her, she whispered, "You'll still be my dad."
Again with the dramatics.
When it was Bella's turn, she let me see her thoughts. A special gift. I enjoyed hearing her thoughts.
"This bothers you more than you're letting on, Edward. Relax, let it go. She'll be fine," Bella said.
"You know me so well," I grinned at her before Emmett claimed her and I was forced to dance with Rosalie.
