Five excuses to make Robert Pattinson an honorary Irishman

The latest RPattz news? The "Twilight" star will play Irish actor Pierce Brosnan's son in the new movie, "Remember Me."

So how does Robert Pattinson's Irishness stack up next to County Meath-born Pierce Brosnan's?

Pretty well, according to all of us at IrishCentral, where we've decided to dub the vampire hottie an honorary Irishman (hey, it was Irishman Bram Stoker that wrote legendary vampire story "Dracula" anyhow).

Here are our top five excuses for calling Pattinson "Irish":

1. He idolizes legendary Irish singer Van Morrison
In fact, Pattinson is such a Van fan that he's dying to play him in a biopic (that is, if any studio ever decides to make one). He told MovieFone: "I'd love to play Van Morrison, but I doubt I would get the part." *Sigh* modest as always.

2. He claims to look like an "old, Irish alcoholic"
We established this when we posted bits from an RPattz interview with Metromix where he was asked why he stood out among the thousands of actors who auditioned for the role of Edward Cullen in "Twilight." Pattinson's answer: While most guys looked like "Greek gods," "I looked kind of like an old, Irish alcoholic." Amazing.

3. His last name is derived from St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland
The surname "Pattinson" is a patronymic form of the name "Pat," from "Patrick," which was chiefly used in Ireland and Scotland, and eventually spread to England, where the "Twilight" star is from. The popularity of the name came from the prominence of St. Patrick, 5th Century Apostle of Ireland. See, even history says RPattz has Irish roots.

4. He hangs out with IRELAND Baldwin
Photographic evidence, people:



Yeah, this is a stretch, but hey! Ireland Baldwin is named after the Emerald Isle, and she's Irish-American (dad Alec is an Irish Catholic).

5. Irish fans are petitioning for Pattinson to visit their country
Over 6,500 Irish (most likely teenage) Irish Pattinson fans have signed an online petition to bring their dreamboat across the pond to Ireland.

One petition signer comments: "hey ! Rob if you ever see this i just want to say everyone loves you in ireland. all you hear is people talking about you." About 10 other comments included the statement: "I would die if he came to Ireland."

Proof! According to the Irish themselves, Robert P. is most definitely qualified to be an honorary Irishman!

The official plea states: "Please Please sign! Help us get Robert Pattinson to Ireland.....he only lives across the pond!! Please.

"You don't need to be from Ireland to sign this petition but we need all the help we can get! We will help you in the future."

Desperate much? Nah - Ireland just has a lot of really enthusiastic RPattz fans, kind of like IrishCentral!

Catherine Wants to Cast Rob as Bird Boy :)

From MTV.com:

Under the watchful eye and creative mind of director Catherine Hardwicke, "Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have gone from virtual unknowns to superstar celebrities. And if Hardwicke has her way, the trio not only have a past and present together, but a future as well.

"There's a few projects in the future that I hope we get to work together on," Hardwicke revealed to us on the red carpet of Hollywood Life's Young Hollywood Awards. "We'll see."

The red-hot filmmaker with the largest opening weekend for any female director was in attendance to pick up a Dream Director award, just one week after "Twilight" dominated the MTV Movie Awards. "We had fun that night," she laughed. "Lots of yummy popcorn!"

When we spoke with her recently, she listed the four high-profile projects she's developing as KStew and RPattz continue work on the "Twilight" saga. "We've got 'Maximum Ride,' " she said. "That's a really wild, big-action fantasy film with bird kids. Then I have a cool project at Overture with Emile Hirsch that's a modern retelling of 'Hamlet' — a very radical version. And then at Summit, we have 'If I Stay,' which is another really nice novel that we're adapting."(Gozde: Bird kids? Too many jokes...must mock Catherine...Read 4tnz's hilarious take on it here)

According to Hardwicke, she's planning to solicit Pattinson and/or Stewart for roles in the fantasy films "Ride" and "Stay."

"Some of the projects I'm doing, they would be in a completely different world — actually, sometimes even in a different time period," Hardwicke said of the two films, which could return Stewart and Pattinson to the young-adult-fantasy realm that made them famous. "That would be fun. I'd love to do a number on them and transform them."

"Maximum Ride" is based on a series of James Patterson novels telling the story of six teens who are genetically altered to become part bird and part human. "If I Stay" seems particularly suitable for Stewart, since it tells the story of a 17-year-old musician named Mia. A huge fan of music, KStew will soon play Joan Jett in the film "The Runaways."

Recently, Hardwicke took MTV for a rare tour inside her house, where she cast Stewart and Pattinson after a particularly sultry audition on her bed. And while speaking to us Sunday night, she once again marveled at how far the duo have come since those early days.

"They've definitely gotten more and more confident in themselves. Obviously, that day was awkward — to just meet somebody, and then you need to kiss them right then. And especially because Kristen had to kiss three other guys, poor thing," she laughed. "I think that they've become more self-confident and strong with the camera. And they're just beautiful and blossoming. They've always been very deep. They always go deep into their characters and care about it. Their core is the same"
