Washington, Apr 8 : Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson once dressed like a woman to audition for a role as a transsexual prostitute.

The Twilight star had donned woman's clothing along with loads of make-up in a bid to impress the casting directors.

However, the 22-year-old star was stunned to see that he was not the only one with the idea of being cross-dresser at the screen test.

"I had an audition to play a transsexual prostitute and thought I''d be the only person going for it, so I went out of my way and put loads of make-up and women''s clothing on," Contactmusic quoted Pattinson as telling Britain''s Glamour magazine.

"When I walked into the audition and saw all these guys sitting with there in bad drag, it was the most ridiculous thing ever," he added. (ANI)
