Robert Pattinson Gig Video Emerges Online

August 6, 2010

Footage of Twilight star Robert Pattinson making one of his few live musical appearances has emerged online.

The video shows the 24-year-old actor performing in a fans' living room as part of the Songs From A Room Project.

Despite some internet reports, the gig actually took place in London in January.

The Songs From A Project organises the pop up shows to promote new and upcoming talent. The Magic Numbers have also taken part in a previous edition.

As previously reported, Pattinson has spoken regularly of his interest in music and featured on the soundtrack to the original Twilight film.

In May, Pattinson revealed that he wanted to be a rapper when he was 14. He said he had &ldquoa lot of recordings&rdquo of himself rapping.

The actor is currently appearing in the third Twilight movie, Eclipse.
