Let’s talk about New Moon. Was it fun to go back and play the role that gave you fame?
I was sur­prised at how easy it was going back in his shows. I like Edward and I have a lot of fun play­ing him.

You’re not in this movie a lot, are you?
I’m not. Edward decides to leave Bella, but he real­izes it wasn’t the best idea and he comes home again. But I’m in the best scenes of the movie! (laughs)

What’s the main dif­fer­ence bew­teen Twi­light and New Moon?
The direc­tor is extremely dif­fer­ent, and the movie has more action scenes and every­thing hap­pens faster. I think it’s very dif­fer­ent. New Moon was much more demand­ing phys­i­cally. i had to train a lot to get in shape.

Are you get­ting used to fame?
I don’t think that’s some­thing you can get used to, but I have to con­fess that I am enjoy­ing my life. I think I’m a pos­i­tive per­son, and the truth is I can’t com­plain of suc­cess. The peo­ple in my life know who I am and I haven’t changed in any way. Although my mom does read the tabloids and she calls me and asks, “Robert, how could you do this?”. I have to explain to her that it’s a lie.


Do you think being British helped you add ele­gance and poise to your char­ac­ter?
Yes, I think Stephe­nie demanded that the per­son who played Edward had to be British, because of the Eng­lish ele­gance thing, I guess. She wanted most of the actors to be British because of the whole Amer­i­can myth around Eng­lish ele­gance and class.

What is it about you that cre­ates so much admi­ra­tion around you? You kept the most wanted role in Hol­ly­wood!
(laughs). I don’t know, I think hav­ing a lot of chem­istry with Kris­ten helped a lot, espe­cially when I got the role. In the begin­ning I was expect­ing this char­ac­ter to be dif­fer­ent, and I was hop­ing for her to play the char­ac­ter a dif­fer­ent way, but her work is bril­liant; we’re not talk­ing about a damsel in dis­tress at all, and I’m no prince charm­ing, so that makes the rela­tion­ship between the char­ac­ters more real and authen­tic. Also, I think that the intel­li­gence with which Kris­ten took on the role is what gave strength to my char­ac­ter. I owe her so much.

But you’re the one who became a sex sym­bol, not her.
That’s weird, because I’m only a sex sym­bol to 14 year old girls, and that’s not the best of sit­u­a­tions. Last year I couldn’t even get a date, and all of a sud­den girls changed their mind.

What are your ambi­tions right now?
I want to take advan­tage of all the oppor­tu­ni­ties that are com­ing up. I hope New Moon is a big hit and that it can help me get work with actors and direc­tors that I admire.

Are you afraid of get­ting type­cast?
By Octo­ber I will be done with three Twi­light movies, and then there’s two more. But this is not like it was with Harry Pot­ter where you only get to work on these movies for 11 months out of the year. I have the oppor­tu­nity to do more things, like giv­ing life to Dali, or act­ing in a film with Rachel Weisz.

Have you ever fallen in love with the same pas­sion as your char­ac­ter?
I’ve never fallen in love, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be roman­tic. I believe that love is an evo­lu­tion of friend­ship. But to me, the pas­sion­ate love we see in these movies is just a fantasy.

What was it like film­ing Lit­tle Ashes, a very small pro­duc­tion com­pared with New Moon?
Deep down I love small pro­duc­tions because there isn’t that many peo­ple hang­ing around while you’re work­ing. In the begin­ning it was weird, but at the same time it was amaz­ing. The energy that you feel on the set of an inde­pen­dent movie is very dif­fer­ent than that of a super pro­duc­tion. But when you get into your char­ac­ter, you don’t feel it.

I’ve read that you were very ner­vous about your nude scenes and the explicit sex scenes in Lit­tle Ashes. How did you pre­pare?
(laughs). I have so many stu­pid answers for this ques­tion (laughs). I had a penis implant! Just kid­ding, I don’t know… it’s fun because Latin peo­ple have no prob­lems with nudity, but Eng­lish peo­ple sure have them.
It’s just lit­tle things, like this time I saw my father chang­ing before going to the pool, and that left me com­pletely scarred, for life. I don’t know if I did any­thing to pre­pare for this. I drove myself mad, maybe.

"I believe that love is an evo­lu­tion of friend­ship. But to me"

which make Rob and Kris's "we are just good friends comment" all the more revealing LOL

heather said...

I was about to say the same thing! LOL.
Also notice he said two more movies in the Saga, has this been confirmed?

Angie said...

Much of this comes from older interviews. I have a feeling it has been pieced together. Which means that his answers may have had a very different question.

twilight said...

Never fallen in love? What the hell? When he says stuff like that I'm just so annoyed. I hope this interview is crap or translated incorrectly, because that just makes him look like he isn't in love with Kristen -- just friends with benefits, which may or may not be evolving into love? What the heck? Someone tell me I'm wrong, please.

Maria said...

does anyone know when wsa the interview taken?

Jessica said...

@ Twilight, this may be an old interview. Don't get 'annoyed' when he says things like that, you've seen him with Kristen, the way he looks at her, He's totally head over heels for her, he's always liked her! I'm sure it's just an oldie quote :)

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

LMAO about the penis impplant!!

Rob needs to get his answers straight...

"I've never been in love but it doesn't mean I can't be romantic"

He just said the other days he's never been romantic!! Poor thing, can't keep his answers straight!

spellbound said...

I don't know about you girls, but I haven't been 14 in A WHILE...does he seriously think it's only young teens who are crazy about him? or is he just being modest? Surely he knows better...Penis implant, lmao!!

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

This has to be an old interview as he's contradicted himself...

Just today he said it's NOT JUST TEENS....Glad he knows we're out there too!

Marna said...

I think something must have got lost in the translation, since when did Stephanie demand the actors be British? That's a new one to me.

MiCh said...

I have this mag and it says Rob was interviewed during Cannes..

I don't think something was lost in translation, the interview sounds pretty good in Spanish and Vale's translations (the girl from TwilightPoison) are the best out there. It's just another just-released interview and it may sounds "weird" since the last events we've seen ;)

Oh, and by the way, SM did specifically ask for English actors to play Edward, I think I read it in her website.

Anonymous said...

The have you fallen in love question was probably traslated to him to imply that kind of "love at first sight" falling. He says no to that but says he thinks love comes from being friends first.

Stephenie didn't say Edward HAD to be British. What happened is she named a couple actors she had in mind to play Edward and THEY were British.

As for being romantic, I think he just got cornered with that one the other day. I mean, they specifically asked for something he'd done that was romantic. Would u want to say that publicly? In an interview your girlfriend would probably read?

Kathy said...

I BELIEVE THAT ANY "LOVE" ROB AND KRISTEN MAY BE FEELING HAS DEFINATELY COME AS A RESULT OF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. IT'S ALL IN THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER, THEY ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER, ALWAYS HAVING THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER....THAT ALL SAYS ALOT. GOOD FOR THEM BEING FRIENDS FIRST. I THINK THEY ARE SO IDEAL FOR EACH OTHER !!!!
