Twilight star Robert Pattinson isn't worried if offers of acting jobs dry up - he'd happily turn his hand to a career in music.

The actor trained at a theatre school in London, and is already looking to future career ventures.

He tells the Los Angeles Times, "Music is my back-up plan if acting fails. I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket."

Two of Pattinson's compositions are included on the soundtrack to the hit vampire movie - but the actor insists he wasn't trying to "cash in" by launching a music career on the back of the tracks.

He adds, "That's what I was scared about, it looks like I'm trying to get a music career out of it or something. I'm not going to be doing any music videos or anything."
