Kristen Stewart with Robert Pattinson

There's nothing like the classic bait and switch.

But if you're not familiar with getting Rickroll'd, you're not alone.

In fact, you're in good company.

Rumor has it that Twilight star Robert Pattinson was recently Rickroll'd on the set of New Moon and he reportedly had no clue what it meant.

As millions who have already been Rickroll'd know, the process refers to a person emailing a friend with a web link that appears to be related to a topic relevant to a recent point of discussion or importance between the two. Instead, the link provides the URL to the now classic 1987 music video for Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."

Come to think of it, doesn't Rick Astley look a lot like Robert Pattinson in this video?
