Robert Pattinson had been set to appear in the West End production of The Woman Before at the Royal Court Theatre in 2005 – but he was fired just before the opening night and replaced by Tom Riley. “I liked the freedom in the things you could do with acting. Like if you want to look sad, you don’t have to have a sad face, which is still how I try on a lot of different things. For that same reason – trying to take risks – I got fired from that play. I haven’t really changed since I got fired,” the Twilight star explained.
