Robert Pattinson has revealed that he was inspired by James Dean.

Pattinson explained that he based his Twilight character Edward Cullen on the Rebel Without A Cause star.

"Rebel Without A Cause was a big influence on the first [Twilight film] - it influenced the hairdo and stuff," he told USA Weekend.

"In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc - an everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump."

Twilight: New Moon is released in cinemas on November 20.
