Is that how you also got a song in one of the Twilight films?
That was a different thing. That just came about as an accident. I just happen to be friends, well best friends, with the guy who is in the films.
Like who – Robert Pattinson?
Yes, he just took one the songs and ended up, yeah, putting it in the film.
Er, backtrack please. You are best friends with Robert Pattinson? As in, teen-idol, Robert Pattinson? You kept that quiet, that’s a pretty big deal.
It is not a big deal for me, because he always used to play and sing my songs for years and years and years.


For now, he [Carlos Leon] and his daughter bond by going on bike rides in New York City and hanging out at home, watching movies like Harry Potter and Twilight.
“She loves to watch Harry Potter. It’s a favorite of hers. We can watch that 100 times – well, she can,” Leon says. “Twilight is also pretty big at our house. She likes Robert Pattinson. She’s Team Edward all the way.”




When Danish director Susanne Bier delivered her acceptance speech at this year’s Golden Globe Awards, she left the audience speechless. Literally. Accepting her award for best foreign-language film from Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson, Bier nervously joked that her movie features “people who speak like they have potatoes shoved down their throats.” Dead silence. After several awkward seconds, the director hastily wrapped up her speech.
Weeks later, Bier still sounds chagrined. “I got a bit paralyzed,” she explains. “I’d very carefully written a speech, and I couldn’t even read it. What was worse, I did not kiss Robert Pattinson, and now my daughter is never going to speak to me again.”
