Robert Pattison:I Don’t Even Think I’m a Real Man Yet :)

Another new and good interview where Rob talks about his new project, the relationship of Bella/Edward and Jacob and his sex symbol status.



It's an exclusive from Nieuwsblad.be. Thanks to Pinklien for the translation :)

Robert Pattinson: “Some fans scare me”
(Exclusive interview)

Everywhere he appears, teenage girls start screaming. And he didn’t even bite them. A conversation with teen idol Robert Pattinson, alias the vampire Edward Cullen from Twilight.

It’s been since Leonardo DiCaprio that an actor has been so intensely worshipped as Robert Pattinson. Thousands of girls (an older women) everywhere would love to have Edward bite them – Robert Pattinson in real life, R-Pattz for his fans.

How do you deal with all the media-craziness? There are books about your life-story, and you aren’t even dead yet. (bit weird to say IMO)

RP: Yes, I saw that there are 7 unauthorized biographies, and they all start at my 20th. I think Im dealing with it as good as possible. The past year, I have been working non-stop so the biggest Twilight craziness passed me by. My life and Twilight, it are 2 separate things.

Being famous is a lifestyle, but Im only a foetus in that celebrity-world. Im better at it than in the beginning, but I would hate it if there would be people hanging around my house for the rest of my life. It would drive me crazy. Why do people want a picture of me and them at all costs? I don’t get that. I think of myself as boring.

How different was shooting New Moon in comparison with the first part?

RP: Very different. With the first movie, there were a lot of people all pulling in a different direction. The studio wanted to create a basis for a franchise, because it had already been settled that it would be a trilogy. The bosses thought the movie had to appeal to as much people as possible. Director Catherine Hardwicke had made a lot of independent movies and she sometimes was like an unguided projectile, she had so much energy. Kristen and I had our own ideas about the characters and we both are rather stubborn.

But the mega success of the first movie has made everyone more calm. We are less insecure. The studio bosses know that we are going to make the right decisions. We also have Chris Weitz as the new director. He’s very calm and got everyone ready very fast. We have all worked so hard.

Have you seen New Moon a few times yet?

RP: Once. I still think it’s a torture to see myself on the big screen. But this time it wasn’t a punishment. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it. That hadn’t happened since the beginning of my career.

Don’t you think it’s frightening to see how obsessed some fans are?

RP: Definitely. When the Twilight hype broke out, I sometimes had visions of my getting stabbed by a crazy fan. Those crowds at premieres… Im not at ease. When we were shooting New Moon in Vancouver, some fans would be out there for 3 days in a row, good or bad weather. At times like that, your instinct tells you: that is a weirdo and your imagination runs wild. But mostly it’s not so bad when you go and talk to that person.

Twilight is just my job, but for a fan, it’s something they desperately want to be a part of. Is that wrong? Im not so sure anymore. A fan is a fan, that’s all. It just takes a while before you get used to the fact that what you do, gets appreciated by people.

Have you ever been a fan of someone?

When I first saw ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’, I was 16 and that movie has influenced me so much. I even started to dress like Jack Nicholson. That period lasted for a long time. I also had a thing for Patricia Arquette. But I don’t think that any of that has influenced my work. (laugh)

In New Moon, the young Taylor Lautner plays a wolf, Jacob. What did you think when you saw his muscles?

RP: That I needed to hit the gym stat. (laugh) No, I think it’s ok. It’s funny: for some reason, when you’re an actor in a teen movie, they expect you to have a six pack. So when I see a guy that meets every expectation of a teenage girl, I do get a complex yeah. Actually, that was perfect to get into my role. I now know the feeling of having to prove myself against someone younger than me.

You have a great connection with Kristen, that isn’t a secret. But in this movie, there’s also a lot of chemistry between her and Taylor. Were you jealous?

RP: No. In New Moon, we only have like 3 scenes with the three of us. I barely had the chance to be jealous. When I had to work, Taylor wasn’t around because Bella and Jacobs story line was developing without me. In Eclipse, the third movie, which we wrapped a while ago, it’s totally different. There’s a lot more interaction between the characters. Taylor and I were teasing each other the whole time.

This time, Taylor is the leading man. Does that take some pressure off your shoulders?

RP: Asolutely. I keep on saying this is Taylors movie. Im not the lead role. He’s fully responsible and that’s a win-win situation. If it’s a flop, I can always say that it’s because Im in it less. (laugh)

What’s next on your agenda?

RP: It has been a weird year. I have been working non-stop, with 4 days off at the most. First there was New Moon, then Eclipse. I was pretty relieved when we could wrap at the end of October. I finally got to sleep in. But we didn’t get much rest, with the promo tour for New Moon coming up. In February I will go to Budapest to shoot Bel Ami. Not with Nicole Kidman, as reported first. Im not allowed to say who it is yet. Ive also signed on for Unbound Captives, a romantic drama with Rachel Weisz. But chances are that before all that, I'm expected on the set of the forth Twilight movie.

Megan Fox is the most beautiful woman in the world and she said that title has made her shy. What do you think of the fact that some magazines call you the most sexy man on the planet?

RP: God, I don’t even think I’m a real man yet (laugh)

That was a good read. Thanks for posting it. I'm having computer issues that prevent me from watching most of the videos. I try to once in a while, but usually my computer will freeze or just shut down completely, amd then cause me problems the rest of the day. I desperately need a new one - but yeah, enough about me and back to Rob.

Because of not being able to view a lot of the video, I'm extra grateful when I see a written interview. Thanks, again.

Angie said...

Well Rob, let's agree to disagree.
We obviously have different views of a "real man". :)

jh said...

I love these translated interviews, they are just hysterical:("I'm only a foetus"):)

Great interview. Thanks

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

I love that he "gets" Edward... and Gozde you said it, that's why he's the perfect Edward.

ADM,
no kidding.. I think most of us disagree with the way he views himself.. He's very much a man mostly for what's inside..

Some fans are crazzzzy... but I'm glad now that he's said in a couple of interviews now that when he speaks to them he discovers they're not crazy..(not all anyway)
if camping out for 3 days is your one and only chance to ever see him, heck yea, I'd do it too!

I really liked this interview. I loved that he called CH a unguided projectile~LOL~So true. And that's the second time he has mentioned Particia Arquette...I'm sure she must know....how flattering. And I love what he said about New Moon... for him to say that, its very good. the movie's going to be great.

Kelly said...

I wonder if he is looking for someone to make him a real man... I mean if he has time between appearences on Thursday.. I'll be there anyway.. I'm sure I could help him out... I mean if he's looking for real an status....:P

Kelly said...

Of course now all I have to worry about is that he will trip past this blog see my comment and on Thursday at Regis & Kelly he will say to me with one eyebrow raised "So Kelly... you want to mak eme a real man??" sultry smirk and all....

And my response....
.......

Ooo, yummy yummy. Cannot WAIT to find out who the female lead is for this!

AP said...

Agree, good interview. Nice Bel Ami teaser.;) "If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue(and just master the wipey thingy) you'll be a man, my son."

roxiegirl said...

Great interview. He seems to be getting more comfortable with his stardom. And yes, Rob you are a real man! Matter of fact you are THE real man. Sexiest man in the world...we'll know for sure this week.....

Julia said...

wow! his description of Edward is SO great, that's exactly how I picture him.
I think it's great he's shooting Bel Ami in Budapest, cos Europe seems to do him good and maybe it's his chance to escape the Hollywood bubble for a while!

MMc said...

So he KNOWS who some of the women are going to be in Bel Ami?????? OMG I can't WAIT to find out who he'll be having his way with in that movie.

And the statement that he didn't have time to be jealous almost seems to indicate that if he DID have time.....he just might have been jealous.
And WHY would he be jealous????? Cause he's in LOVE with Kristen.

So I guess his family is going to officially meet Kristen tomorrow night - remember how the aunt didn't like her?? Thought she was bad influence on Rob? Should be interesting.
Can't wait for the Red Carpet walk.

Maryann said...

Nice interview! Rob is so funny but I totally disagree with him that he is not a real man yet, he is, a yong one at that but I am not drooling over some boy! So sorry dude you are a man. Young yes but still in so many ways older than your 23 years old. Sheesh comparing Rob's mentality to the 23 yrs old I see every day here, you'd think Rob was in his mid 30's the way he carries himself and the way he talks!

It does seem like Rob is getting slightly more used to the fame, without bying the hype about himself. Good, that is very good for his own sanity and comfort instead of just fighting it.

Also nice to see that he does realize that not all fans are freaks lol. I totally do understand it is hard to seperate the freaks from the normal fans though.

One think I have noticed with him and Kristen when they talk about the fans, that they seem to think we are there for the characters they play. For some that may be true but I am too old for that crap. I am there for them, I am curious about them and their work mostly. That is why I am there (and well for the crush I got on Rob and that I just adore the cutness that is Kristen Stewart lol)

crazy vamp said...

God, he is not a real man yet?
And I am already like this, for a dude that is not even a real man yet??? LOL :0

Go figure...

Kelly Louise said...

Haha, oh how I love that MAN.

In other unimportant news: I finally saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest yesterday and it was awesome. (I'm the same age he was when he first saw it, tee hee.) I absolutely understand why he's so fascinated by it.

RPCinemaMajo said...

Robert charm me the interview as always perfect

whocares said...

love the way he talks about himself! when i read the title i almost fell off my chair laughing. so typically rob <3

Unknown said...

I mentioned before in another blog the way I liked Rob's analysis on characters, he sometimes sees what people like me don't on Edward, and it makes me understand the book more(I had to read the book for like 10 times to see Rob's point). I guess he really is a smart reader, and a genius at that!

He sounded more honest here, specially with the Taylor thing. And I don't wanna give meaning to the word "jealous" (it's speculative..)so I won't. I'm also so very excited to see his other films, just saw Haunted Airman, I actually didn't understand the plotline, and I must say that his facial expressions were somehow the same with Edward's (although I know their totally different) I think it's a movie that doesn't showcase much of his talent so I'll be waiting for the other films.

"Robert Pattison:I Don’t Even Think I’m a Real Man Yet :)"

*Channeling Jasper*

"Oh, I think we can handle that!"

Xylem said...

@ Femroc: You totally caught that! He fell for the oldest lawyer trick in the book. This is the equivalent to "So, how long ago did you stop beating your wife?". Rob's response would be "I hardly had time to beat my wife"

The interviewer implied that Rob had a reason to be jealous and Rob confirmed it stating that he only didn't because there was not enough time.

If you recall the MTV Music awards when he was ultra grabby and possessive of Kristen. We learned from the Eclipse director that Taylor and Kristen had just that week wrapped the carrying and kissing on the mountain scene and that poor Taylor had to carry & kiss Kristen for THREE days. Yeah, Rob felt some jealousy... I don't care how secure you are in a relationship, if some muscle bound stud is carrying and kissing your girlfriend for days, that aint going to settle well with you. Specially when you were unable to carry her in the previous movie. Yeah, he dropped her.

Ok... I'll stop now, I think I am entering FanFic territory. Just thought I'd share.

Note to self... no more caffeine after 5:00PM
