Robert Pattinson wasn't always the popular guy he is today -- in fact, the "Twilight" star says he was handed several beat-downs as a kid just for being an actor.
R-Patz tells Parade.com -- "I got beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger ... It was after I first started acting and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me."
He may take a hit, but he doesn't hit on anyone -- according to Robert, he can't remember the last time he asked someone out.
