  Robert Pattinson on 'David Letterman' Like every good thespian, Robert Pattinson had the noblest of intentions when he decided to start acting.

"I wanted to meet girls," the 25-year-old Breaking Dawn star joked on The Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday night. "That was the main thing."

A few years and one mega-hit vampire movie franchise later, Rob's plan seems to have worked out pretty well. Not only did acting land him his current girlfriend Kristen Stewart, but it also earned him the intense adoration of female fans around the world.

"It's not just teenage girls," RPattz told Letterman. "It's older [women] too. The older ones are far more passionate fans."
