Robert Pattinson turns down £1million offer to be the face of Burberry *rumor*

Robert Pattinson turns down £1million offer to be the face of Burberry *rumor*


Twilight movie ­sensation Robert ­Pattinson has turned down a £1million deal to be the face of ­Burberry, declaring: “I’m an actor, not a model.”

As vampire Edward Cullen, R-Patz, 24, has the looks, charm and charisma to melt every girl’s heart. And I can now reveal ­Robert is truly a man with artistic integrity too.

It was a straight “No” when the posh British style and ­accessories brand, headed by designer ­Christopher Bailey, came calling.

My source in the fashion world revealed: “Christopher 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.”

Burberry are one of the coolest brands out there when it comes to high-end fashion. In the past few years their

campaigns have featured Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (now shooting Transformers 3 in Hollywood), supermodel ­Agyness Deyn and Harry Potter star Emma Watson.

To say Christopher and ­Burberry are disappointed by the flat rejection is an ­understatement. My source continues: “Burberry really hoped Robert would do it. They know he wears Burberry occasionally and he’s met Christopher and the team before.

"They only wanted him. Robert’s look would have been perfect so they’re back to square one.”

Just weeks ago it was revealed Robert had said “Hell, no!” to a music deal with Simon Cowell and his record label Syco.

In my opinion turning down record and modelling deals shows this is one true Brit star in the making. If you don’t need to cash in – then don’t. Well done Rob!
