Michael Sheen mentions Robert Pattinson and the legend of Edward Cullen

Michael Sheen mentions Robert Pattinson and the legend of Edward Cullen

While perusing our Edward collection, I got lost in this wallpaper by Marina that we posted back in February. One of his broody best, Rob is truly the best Edward Cullen. Michael Sheen, however, feels Edward might be all Rob is known for.

Speaking to Hollywood Life at the Cinema Society & Thierry Mugler screening of Midnight in Paris, Sheen had this to say:

“I think Robert has been very clever in the way that he has tried to branch out and do lots of other different things,” Michael says. “Rob has been trying to do that while he’s been doing the Twilight series and all but I think it’s going to take a long time. I think he’ll always be Edward [Cullen] for a whole generation or maybe a few generations of people and it will be difficult to get away from that. But he seems to have a good head on his shoulders.”

“Rob is one of the biggest stars in the world now because of the Twilight series and that can be a good thing or a bad thing,” Michael says. “It’s like when people have played James Bond and you get so associated with one character it means you have a huge audience and there’s a lot of people very interested. But at the same time it might put certain people off casting you as other characters.”

Humph. I guess, Mr. Sheen. Technically speaking, this does happen but we think Rob is making the right moves and those moves will benefit his career goals. Water for Elephants was well received by audiences. I found a lot of people commenting on how surprised they were with Rob's performance and the absence of Edward from their minds.

Don't get me wrong. I love me some Edward. BIG time.

But I love Rob more.

I think audiences will continue to see him as more than just Edward. Hit it, Biel!

Can't wait for that "teen" label to vanish. Emilie De Ravin, Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, Kristin Scott Thomas, Reese Witherspoon, Marion Cotillard...are they working with many "teen" pin-ups lately? Yes, Robert Pattinson appeals to teens and they do in fact have him pinned up ;) but he would not be booking these jobs with these co-stars (or directors) if he was soley some "teen" pin-up.

What do you guys think?

Thanks Steffi for the tip and Annie for the gif :)

MTV wonders about the success of Robert Pattinson in Water For Elephants

From MTV.com "big-screen pairings we're most looking forward to checking out this year":

Robert Pattinson & Reese Witherspoon in "Water for Elephants"

Sure, RPattz will once again share the screen opposite Kristen Stewart in 2011, but he's been mining the same limited "Twilight" material for a while now, and we're keen to see how he manages when his character has more emotional motivation than simply protecting his beloved. (Tink: *bitchface* Edward is way deeper than this...or am I reading too much fanfiction?)

While we enjoyed his turn in last year's romantic drama "Remember Me" (Tink: YAY :) MTV "got it"!), a performance opposite the Oscar-winning Witherspoon in "Elephants" will mark Pattinson's biggest opportunity yet to establish himself as a formidable talent. (YodaTink: establish himself he will)

The first trailer mostly showcased RPattz in smoldering default mode (Tink: hey! Not the worst thing in the world!). Can the 24-year-old Brit step it up? (Tink: yes.) Can his chemistry with Witherspoon begin to compare, in fan's eyes, with the Bella-Edward-Jacob love triangle? (Tink: leave Jacob out of this and yes.) Answers will arrive with the film's release in April. (Tink: the answers are here NOW. While Edward is love, Rob is more than just Edward. Robert Pattinson will prevail!)

Let's remember how Rob is more than just Edward.

A video. By Biel. Happytime :)
