'Vampire Diaries' Star calls Robert Pattinson "A young James Dean"

I don't think this James Dean comparison is likely to stop.
Lets just hope Rob makes some better choices and sticks around for the long haul.

Telling Star Magazine in an interview that she has met Robert Pattinson many times, Kayla Ewell says the "Twilight" leading actor is like a young James Dean. "He's a free thinker in many ways, very casual and easygoing. He's also really funny, which most people don't know," she expresses her impression toward the British film star.

SHE does not know that many people know that he's a free thinker, easy-going, casual, very funny, etc.

Why do you think there are thousands of RobSessors?

Lets hope Rob hangs around longer than James did. I hope that he has people around him that'll looked after him so that he doesn't join the long list of young stars that have died to early.

This is what worries me about all the attention surrounding him is that it can be dangerous. Those hotel pictures were awful. People need to let him be it's not fair.

Other actors whom I think are similar to Rob are Robert Redford, Johnny Depp and Heath Ledger.

I hope that he's a level-headed as he seems...I think that even though he's kind of a barfly, he can be trusted to be responsible for himself.

The only thing I worry about is the fact that too much papp attention can create dangerous situations, and we all know how much attention he gets!

Stay safe, Rob. we <3 you.

should be "as level-headed" :)

As much as i adore Rob,i'm against comparing him with big Hollywood legends like James Dean and Marlon Brando.They both stared in huge movies that are still classical 50 years after.Rob has a very small body of work.I know that these comparisons are for commercial reasons and i'm sure that Rob feels akward about this.He has his own personality and way of thinking.

She's 24 years old. How can she even compare Rob to James Dean? None of us can and if we did its based on what we've seen in the movies; the hair, the clothes, that 'brooding' look.

The James Dean thing has been done to death. Johnny Depp went through it when he first started too. Only thing you can hope is that Rob has the stellar career Depp has too. I believe he will.

I always thought Rob reminded me more of a young Johnny Depp as opposed to James Dean. There have been several photo shoots in which they have tried to depict him as James Dean-ish (I think one was the Rolling Stone/US Magazine photo shoot).

The worrying over the drinking - there isn't as much of a stigma attached to drinking in England (or all of Europe for that matter). I think he knows what he is doing.

I do agree that the pics of him recently when he has been out and about are bad. He looks so tired and so burnt out on people constantly fussing over him.

I just hope he doesn't get sick of it all and quit!

Seriously, I think the comparison with James Dean is pretty fair... James Dean was charming and hot. And might have had a good career.
Though, I am with you: let's hope that Rob stays around a lot longer...

I'm sure I heard Rob say in one of his interviews that he modelled his american accent on James Dean and Jack Nicholson (his fave actor)...?? Anyone else remember this?

And hell yeah - first few pics I saw of him I thought he was Elvis and James Dean reincarnated in the one body with just a touch of Brando for good measure!

Rob is a one-off - a multi-talented and unique individual - he will never be what others are and doesn't need to try - but we can all hope to see him rise to his full potential whether that be in acting or music or both - i just want to see him make choices that make him happy cos he deserves it!!

Another Shameful attempt at self promotion,
this Vamp Diaries kid read the memo,
he knows the drill,
talk about Rob get noticed to promote your crappy show,
next time come up with something original kid.

Thansa,
my thoughts exactly! Really? You don't think we know these things about this man?

Rob is Rob-and Jandr I do remember him saying about the American accent. He was worried about not pulling it off so he kept watching the movies to practice...

Morning!

Haystackhair said...

they are SO trying to make that guy in VD look like Robward. Not even close. LOL

Anonymous said...

the only reason there is the james dean comparison out there is because Rob said that is who he channeled for the Edward Cullen voice. otherwise no one would think of this.

RPnKSaddict said...

Morning all!

This is kind of random, but the comparisons to Johnny Depp and Reading the Holloween party in EP got me phantasizing about seeing Rob in a pirate outfit like Orlando Bloom wore in the last Pirates of the Caribbien.
HOT!!!

As far as the vamp diaries, the evil brother is better looking and more interesting than the main character. I've only watched the show twice ans lost interest.

JandR said...

Keri_Anne - that's what it was. I knew I'd heard him say something about James Dean and the accent for Edward! Thanks!

Hi RPG - glad you are safely home...just remember next time you go a Rob-hunting in Vancouver...(and there WILL be a next time!) take someone who is gonna stay the distance! Me of course...:-D

Dani: Word! Physically there might be similarities and Rob said himself that James Dean was an insipration for his performance as Edward, if I remember correctly... but I do hope that the likeness stops there!

I saw the Vampire Diaries yesterday for the first time and I liked it (for different reasons than True Blood). I found it rather Twilight-ish and the main female character looks like the idea of Bella I had in my mind while I was reading the books. Not saying Kristen is not a good choice, though :).

GHOSTGIRL said...

stop!!with the freakin comparisons...it's too early to compare rob with another actors...I'm not bashing rob I'm 100%sure he's a talented actor but he doesn't have too many movies to star makin these kind of statements people need to calm down and enjoy his future projects I feel like there's too much presion and anticipation on rob ...

Shani said...

If I'm remembering correctly besides using James Dean as an inspiration for Edward...Rob tried acting like him to get girls.

And I looked up Kayla and she is the ex girlfriend of Kellan...They were together in 08.
