Pattinson began modelling when he was twelve years old, but the number of jobs began to decrease only four years later. In December 2008 he blamed the lack of work as a model on his masculine appearance: "When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool.
Pattinson had supporting roles in the made for television film Ring of the Nibelungs in 2004 and in director Mira Nairs Vanity Fair, although his scenes in the latter were deleted and only appear on the DVD version.
