Crossing the Blues
During an interview with the Sunday Star Times, Sir Michael Caine had some very complimentary words about Rob and his future in the biz:

Talent-spotting is an unreliable art, but Caine still likes to have a go. He's not terribly excited by the current crop of vampire antiheroes.


"They all look the same ... very slight dark young men with very bright eyes and pale skin. But I'm sure some of them will develop into big stars – the boy [Robert] Pattinson will, I'm sure." 
With an acting career that spans more than 45 years, Caine should know.. after all he was a hottie in his day and is still going strong.
