Via ETonline:

Before he hit it big with his Twilight role, Robert Pattinson spilled to Seth Meyers on Tuesday’s Late Night that he once had aspirations to become a rapper –and his hip-hop name is what Meyers calls “some real, hardcore sh**.”

Confirming the reports that he once wanted to drop rhymes, Pattinson tells the host, “100 per cent. I still kind of do [want to be a rapper]. I was Big Tub, that was my rap name.”

Explaining his alter ego, he adds, “I was very paranoid about my weight. I got quite sick in the last couple of days and I’m so excited about it. Next week I’m going to be so skinny!”

The 28-year-old actor was a bit more serious than expected about having a rap career. He even recorded! “I didn’t know how to scratch so I used to pull up and down the zip on my hoodie and record it,” Pattinson admitted. “It sounds exactly like it! [We were] Big Tub and the Tabby Cats.”

Nothing is more hardcore than a tabby cat…

But for real, what do you think Edward Cullen sounded like dropping a “hot 16” to a hoodie-zipper track?
