Robert Pattinson talks about Cosmopolis sex scenes, Mission: Blacklist, The Rover, Breaking Dawn Part 2, WaxRob and McDonalds
From 
Metro (UK): 
He’s Britain’s second-richest under-30 actor behind Daniel Radcliffe,
 worth a fortune of more than £30millio. He’s one of Time magazine’s 100
 Most Influential People in The World. He’s the Sexiest Man In The 
World. But he’s made a huge mistake.
‘Sorry, I just had a 
McDonald’s!’ laughs Robert Pattinson. 
‘My stomach’s going, “Raaargh!” I 
always think McDonald’s is a good idea. It’s never been a good idea.’
 
Now would be a great time to forget what you think you know about 
Pattinson. Forget the fame, the money, the daft awards, the vampire 
movies, the screaming tweens, the are-they-aren’t-they? thing with 
Kristen Stewart. Not only is film-maker David Cronenberg’s arty, sexy, talky 
new psychothriller Cosmopolis possibly the weirdest movie of the year, 
it gives us a new kind of Robert Pattinson. He plays a bored 
multi-billionaire traveling across Manhattan in a white stretch limo to get a haircut. Only he gets a 
little more than that. En route, he’ll have been screwed by 
Oscar-winning French actress Juliet Binoche and a gun-toting prostitute (
Tink: Poor reporter is a nitwit. So sad. The "prostitute" is Eric's bodyguard.),
 mobbed by protestors and hit in the face with a cream pie, stalked, 
shot and divorced. No hair-gelled bloodsuckers. No werewolves in cut-off
 jeans.
‘This is one of the first movies that I’m in where I can watch
 it and not just want to kill myself,’ says the actor, who was stunned 
when Canadian meastro Cronenberg called him for the role. 
‘I was really,
 really nervous until we started doing it. And I didn’t know there were going to be sex scenes. 
It said, “They just had sex” in the script. And both days David was 
like, “I think they should be having sex during the scene.” Okay...! 
David said, “Don’t worry. Let’s just start and see what happens.’
 
What happened was the darkest, smartest performance of Pattinson’s 
career, which has trampolined in a series of truly bizarre ups and 
downs. His big-screen debut as Reese Witherspoon’s son in period drama Vanity 
Fair was left on the cutting-room floor. He scored a role in a biggest 
teen franchise in the world (Harry Potter). He got fired from a play in 
London and spent a year and a half as a couch-surfing out-of-work actor 
in Los Angeles. He scored a role in the biggest teen franchise in the 
world (Twilight).
Five years ago, he was nobody. Now he’s so famous he may never
 go for a beer in public again. He turned 26 last month and he can feel 
it, the change, something lost, something gained. 
‘I’m quite sensitive 
to people,’ he says. 
‘You pick up on moods quicker, I think. I’m also 
really good at sensing if someone is around. It’s weird, it’s like a 
sixth sense. I always know if someone’s taking a picture as well.’
 
Those spidey-senses have been tingling off the hook. 
Inevitably, fame has been a drain for Pattinson. 
‘You see people just 
taking a picture casually at a different table,’ he laughs, with a 
shrug. 
‘I’ve got into the habit now of going up to people with my phone with the flash on and just start taking pictures two inches away from their face.’
 
It’s not Rob they want, of course. It’s Edward Cullen. It’s 
‘R-Pattz’. He was literally replaced when Madam Tussauds gave him a 
waxwork. A really, really terrible waxwork. 
‘It looks like Hugh 
Jackman,’ he exclaims. 
‘I think it IS Hugh Jackman – they’ve just 
smushed it in a bit.’
 
Or maybe it’s the inner Pattinson, the one who 
feels melted by the Twi-light. 
‘If you get famous, you can really buy 
into it, then you go nuts. But I never really felt comfortable going, 
“Yes, I’m famous!” I don’t know why.’
His bold, charismatic remoulding in Cosmopolis, then, couldn’t
 have come at a better time. On November 16, the final Twilight movie, 
Breaking Dawn Part II, will be released – and so will Pattinson, he 
hopes, from the hysteria of Stephenie Meyer’s teen saga.
Can he give us a reason to watch it? 
‘It’s really funny, the 
last one,’ he chuckles. 
‘I mean, funny and completely insane. There’s 
Jacob is falling in love with my daughter, who grows into an 11-year-old
 in three months! There were so many scenes where it felt so bizarre.’
 
Five years, four movies, a bit of hair gel and a lot of crying
 and screaming later, Pattinson is ready to bust out the Twilight zone. 
Next up he has a crime thriller by hotshot director of Oz gangster drama
 Animal Kingdom (
‘Guy Pearce kidnaps me and I’ve been shot. It’s like, crazily violent’) and 
psychological drama Mission: Black List, playing the US military 
interrogator who found Saddam Hussein (
‘Some of the stuff in it is just 
unbelievably insane’). (
Tink: Eeeeeeee! EXCITE!)


There’s just one last problem he needs to fix: how to get 
people to stop calling him R-Pattz... 
‘Yeah, I don’t know how to get rid
 of that,’ he sighs. 
‘It is the most annoying thing. I don’t know who 
invented it. This thing with nicknames, everybody loves nicknames, it’s so irritating. But it’s too catchy...’
Cosmopolis is out today in the UK
