Pattinson Taxi Reports "Exaggerated"

Movie bosses have denied that Twilight star, Robert Pattinson, has retired from the film industry to fulfill his life long dream of being a cabbie.

The screen idol apparently came to his momentous decision in Manhattan, when rescued by a New York cab driver from a hoard of screaming fans and realised that this was his "now or never" moment. In scenes reminiscent of Steve McQueen in Bullet (but not quite as fast. And without the same panache) the cab driver did his fare proud, hiding him in plain sight. Pattinson, 23, was said to be delighted and begged the cab driver to take him to the taxi firm as quickly as possible.

However, the driver declined to take Pattinson back to his base in Brooklyn, on account of having just finished his shift, advising the actor: "Sorry, mate - I ain't going south of the river."
