Robert Pattinson had to learn to drive for the part
There was much prep to be done for everyone to transform themselves into the world of the Cullens but aside from the supernatural, there were some more practical problems, like the ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ star not being able to command the wheel of a car.
Robert - whose character does a significant amount of driving - was able to pass his test in the state of Oregon, the location for much of the filming of the movie.
