Robert Pattinson fooled by 'Hunger Games' rumors



Robert Pattinson was taken in by rumors he had been offered a role in the next "Hunger Games" movie and called his agent to see if the story was true.

The "Twilight" star read reports suggesting he had been given a part in the upcoming second film in the hit franchise, "Catching Fire," and he immediately got on the phone to find out whether the offer really had come in.

He tells USA Today, "I woke up this morning and saw all these things about me being cast in The Hunger Games. I was kind of curious for a second. So I called my agent. My agent was like, 'No. No one's going to offer you that part'. I was like, 'Thanks for the reassurance.'"
