Robert Pattinson Says ‘No’ To Burberry Modeling Gig

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has reportedly shunned an offer to model for Burberry, the venerable British fashion brand and house of accessories. The 24 year-old actor felt it would go against his artistic integrity to turn himself into the face of Burberry.

“Christopher (Bailey, designer for the line) and the Burberry team were desperate to sign Robert as the main person in their new campaign.
“It would grace all their stores worldwide and be in all the best ­publications. They went to ­Robert but he ­immediately, politely, turned them down.
“As far as Robert sees things he’s an actor by trade and that’s his art. He doesn’t want to start becoming a brand or anything.”

The deal would have made Pattinson a reported $1.6 million dollars if he signed on the dotted line and he would’ve joined up with his former Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire costar Emma Watson.
Robert is currently in Brazil with Breaking Dawn costar Kristen Stewart filming the honeymoon scene (see photos of the two here.) The two are scheduled to return to Louisiana to continue work on the final two chapters of The Twilight Saga next week.
