More EW Weekly Outtakes

A few more outtakes surfaced from

this shoot done a while ago.

Rob looks very "vampah" Enjoy!

RedEye Chicago Tribune Interview

In conversation, "Twilight" star and sudden mega-heartthrob Robert Pattinson frequently breaks into a giddy laugh. He can't believe he's become, seemingly overnight, the sort of actor who is loved by thousands of screaming girls.

You can't blame him for being a bit overwhelmed. The anticipation for the big-screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's hit novel--about immortal vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson) and his star-crossed love Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart)--has passed "massive" on its way to "out of control."

Pattinson says all the attention causes him to convulse and sweat profusely. RedEye talked to the 22-year-old English actor when he was in town a week ago about becoming a vampire, not washing his hair and whether he's really a "sexy man-beast."

Why do you think you stood out from the more than 5,000 others who auditioned to play Edward?
I think because a lot of people are willing to go in and play some kind of Adonis. And they have the body and everything. There's a lot of guys, especially in L.A., who can walk down the street and look like some kind of Greek god, statuesque guy. [And that's not me.] Especially not last year. I was like this chubby-looking ... I looked kind of like an old, Irish alcoholic.

Isn't that what the part called for?
[Laughs.] It absolutely called for that! I think they were getting desperate, so when I came [they said] "We're tired of looking; Let's take the next guy who walks in!" I think a lot of it was that. Yeah, how uncomfortable I felt trying to play this perfect guy, it kind of inspired my performance when I was in the room 'cause I had no idea how to play it. And I [was] this kind of broken, totally self-conscious person who hardly said anything. And I think they misinterpreted the whole thing, thinking I was this really intense, really passionate guy. And I just had no idea what I was doing.

So they saw you were scared and confused and said, "He's moody, dark and exciting!"
Yeah, that's the weird thing about it.

And now people online are saying, "This man is pure sex," or calling you "a sexy man-beast." How much of a sexy man-beast are you?
[Laughs.] I wouldn't be able to say. I don't think I'm much of one. It's funny, it is the secret to any guy--if people find him unattractive or whatever--you just get Stephenie Meyer to tell the world, to put on her Web site that this guy is now attractive and everybody changes their minds.

How long does it take to get your hair perfectly coiffed like that?
I just wear a hat a lot. I have so much residue crap in my hair from years and years and years of not washing it and not having any sense of personal hygiene whatsoever. ... Even today, I go into these things where I'm supposed to be this sexy guy or whatever, and I'm literally asking [the studio rep], "If I get plumes of dandruff on me, can you just brush it off?"

What did you learn by not washing your hair for six weeks?
That it starts to wash itself. If you don't wash it for six weeks you won't have to wash it ever again. Until it gets unbearable.

Edward's such a forbidden love for Bella. What would you say to parents who thought you were bad news for their daughter?
"You're right." And the girl would like [me] even more.

You're not trying to appeal to parents?
He's a vampire, he's a social pariah. He's not a role model. He's a parasite. That's the cool thing about it. I don't think a vampire has any responsibility to anybody.

What challenges would face a vampire in Chicago?
He can't eat any deep-pan pizza.

Vampires can't eat pizza?
They can't eat. So I would find that very, very difficult not to eat that. I'm planning on that tonight.

Gotcha. Last question: How much more comfortable would this interview have been if I was screaming and crying and trying to touch you?
It would have been a lot more comfortable. [Laughs] It would be standard.

Here is a snip of what Rob talks about in the interview-hilarious by the way.

“I auditioned for a role where I had to sign up for the casting in drag, like to play a transsexual,” he said.

“I thought I looked pretty good!” he laughed. “I didn’t want to shave my legs so I wore those skintight jeans – I kind of looked like Gena Lee Nolin.”

Expanded Q & A with Rob Pattinson

There is a LONG Q & A here. Thanks to Betsy for the links she sends me all the time :-) You rock girly!

Here is a bit of it.

Q: Going back to the probably enormous girl fan base that you will gain after this movie: I mean, you’ve really exploded on the scene lately. You’re on Perez Hilton probably at least once a week. How are you dealing with dating in Hollywood? Do you avoid it? Are you seeing anyone, for those teenybopper girls out there to know?
A: I’m not dating anyone. But I don’t know. I mean, I theoretically don’t avoid it. But it’s weird. … I’ve been going to the same places every time I go to L.A., because they’re the only places I know. And now everybody kind of knows me in those places. So it’s like - I don’t know. Just knowing that people will talk about stuff, and - you know. It’s very uncomfortable.

And also, if you try and chat people up, everyone’s like, “You’re just an actor. You probably go around sleeping with everybody.” So it kind of has the converse effect of what you would have thought.

Q: Are you not moving to Los Angeles? Are you interested in making that leap?
A: I think there’s no reason to. I mean, and also, London’s in my heart. I need it. And I haven’t been there for a very long time.

Q: So, are you particularly prepared for the teenage female frenzy, which apparently seems to be in the cards that is going to surround this movie, but you in particular?
A: I don’t know. I mean, I don’t know why it still shocks me. I mean, I’ve been going for the last three weeks, just going to different cities all around the world, just to get to these planned mobbing, where everybody just screams and screams and screams.
But every single time, I get so nervous, and kind of cold sweats, and everything. So I doubt that I am ready.

Q: So that’s how you react to the screams and the …
A: Every single time. I started crying in Italy. Like, completely involuntarily.

Q: Really?
A: Yeah. Like, do you know when you have the wrong reaction to something? It was really embarrassing. I didn’t even know I was. Kristen, I think, turned around to me. And she’s like, “Are you crying?” I just found out there’s a whole pile of stuff. So. Yeah. I started crying when people are screaming at me. I really didn’t think that would happen. So.

Tyra Banks + 'Twilight' = Classy (Almost)

Nov 21, 2008, 11:33 AM | by Mandi Bierly

Categories: Film, Inappropriate Crushes, Ridiculata, Television, Twilight

Tune in alert, folks: On the Nov. 28 episode of Tyra Banks' talk show, she gives away the Volvo that Robert Pattinson's Edward drives in Twilight to one of the fans turned away at his canceled, out-of-control autograph session in San Francisco earlier this month. The bad news: The girl had to win it in a pie-eating contest.

AP reports that Pattinson and his costar Taylor Lautner (Jacob) cheered on the three contestants during Thursday's taping of Tyra's Twilight hour: "I still can't believe they are making you guys do this," Pattinson reportedly said. "Oh, geez!" (Try to forget that he just used the phrase "Oh, geez!" and focus on the positive: he's apparently never seen The Tyra Banks Show before.) Two of the girls tied in the pie-eating contest, so Tyra determined the winner by having them guess Pattinson's and Lautner's combined weight (320 pounds). In my mind, that's when Pattinson made a mental note to call his Harry Potter buddy Daniel Radcliffe and ask him if he ever had to do this kinda crap. (In Tyra's defense, the victor, 18-year-old Tiffany Kuhne, told AP, "This is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life," so she's not exactly scarred.)

What piece of the Twilight pie would you want to take home (bodies precluded), and what would you be willing to do for that particular piece of movie memorabilia?

Rob reading Twilight

LA Times Review

LA Times reviewed Twilight. Here is the part about Rob:

"Hardwicke also was instrumental in casting Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as the star-crossed Bella and Edward, and those choices were excellent, not only because they're skilled performers but also because they too threw themselves into their parts as if they were Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor doing "Camille" for George Cukor."

This picture seems to sum up Kristen and Rob :-))

Here is close up Rob, signing autographs. Every time he holds his face close to a fan so they can take a picture I think "Just turn your face and you can kiss him". I know it's a little intrusive but have you seen those cheeks? (Disclaimer: Don't try it when you see him, it's a joke :-)

YET ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE

Despite all the hysteria, the baby-faced Pattinson turned out to be a likeable, slightly goofy sort of kid; one who openly admits he's bewildered by all the seething estrogen his appearances inspire. Playing Edward Cullen, Twilight's bloodsucker with a pensive, emo-boy heart, Pattinson comes across as both beautiful and sullen, romantic yet chaste (at least when it comes to neck biting). His flannel-clad, awe-shucks Edward is more underachiever than undead, more Morrissey than Ozzy – a refreshing change from the overly arch, Euro-trash art-fop vampires seen in the Blade and Underworld franchises.

Now that Leonardo DiCaprio has completely transformed into Mickey Rooney, it's time to crown a new tousled teen wonder.

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel, and its sequels, have sold millions of copies and have a huge cult following – inevitably, some people will think you do not match their idea of Edward. The author has even labelled this reaction the “Rob effect,” after you.

Is the Rob effect the universal effect of people disagreeing with the casting? Ha!
I think she meant just you.

Yeah, I had masses … there was a huge, universal backlash about my casting, I think. I mean, there was a petition. Seventy-five-thousand people signed it, they sent it around. But, I mean, I expected it.

Did it bother you?
No, I mean, the casting breakdown for the audition was, “Edward is the ideal man, he's the perfect man,” so I just thought anyone who has the gall to even go into the audition is, like, really asking for it! Ha! I would have done the same thing if I was a little girl.

That's telling, because the novel's critics argue that the characters in Twilight are overly obsessed with beauty and have no emotional depth.

I did read the books, and I thought, mainly because I was trying to find something in there that was playable, that you have to realize that the whole story is told from Bella's [the teen heroine] perspective, and she is completely infatuated with Edward's world. She's completely lost in the vampire world, she wants to be part of their world so badly. So the talk of beauty and everything, you can be objective about it, because it's from Bella's perspective. I don't know if that's how Stephenie Meyer [intended]it, if they genuinely were the most beautiful creatures ever, but it is from Bella's perspective, so I really thought they could kind of be anything.

Have you been told how much you resemble Prince William in the film?
Oh, Jesus! I used to get that from Harry Potter! Ah, it's terrible! Ha!

Why? He's beloved. He'll rule the Commonwealth one day.
No, it's terrible! Ha! It's the worst thing you could possibly have said. This interview is over! Ha!

I mean, I don't have anything against him, but, oh God, it's so typically English. I'm trying to get away from that whole stigma of the floppy English posh person.

What's your security plan, now that hordes of young girls want chunks of your hair?
I don't know … I might start lashing out at them! Ha! It might make me genuinely terrifying. I was noticing this – nobody really goes up to hard-core rappers, they don't get too many problems with little girls! I'm hoping I can just go to London and it will be like a switch, I can just turn everything off.

I doubt that.

More and more people are noticing me, but if you go to really crappy places, people don't expect you to be there. And I have a tendency to only be in really crappy places.

But ... God, I'm still reeling from the Prince William thing!

Oh, stop it. I could have said Camilla Parker Bowles.
Oh, God. Oh, God, no. Prince William. Jesus!

MetroBoston News-Interview with a Vampire

Is it strange that when people read the words that Stephenie Meyer wrote, they now think of you? I never actually thought about that! You know, it’s weird, because even before I did the Harry Potter thing, when I was reading the book, I could see the three kids’ faces. I can’t do that [with this]. … It’s weird, because I definitely didn’t picture myself when I was reading this.

Who did you picture? I didn’t really picture anybody, but with Harry Potter, I read that, and I could see myself doing it, but with this, not at all. I was desperately looking for any little parts of it which I could relate to, and it took a really long time. With Harry Potter, I read it once, and I was like, “Yup. Done!” But with this, even when I got it, I was like, “I don’t know how to play it at all.” So yeah, I still don’t think people would really think of me when reading it.

It must be interesting with all of these kids who are into the book, how when you were named the part, you became it overnight. Is it strange that you’re causing a sensation, partly because of the character? Well, wholly because of the character. It is weird, but I guess it is good for ego control, I guess, because you’re going to all these places, and having people screaming, “I love you!” and it’s like, “you’re not even seeing what’s in front of you anymore. You’ve come in with a completely solid opinion of what you’re going to see, and it doesn’t matter. It could be anyone and you’d have the same reaction.” It’s really kind of fascinating because I remember when I first got cast there was a petition with 75,000 people signing it, saying “This guy can’t play the part.”

How did you get wind of this? My mum sent it.

Was her name on it?[laughs] Yeah, my mum didn’t even want me to play it.

Did you make sure your manager put in the contract that you wouldn’t have to get plastic surgery and liposuction?Initially, at the beginning when we were doing pre-production stuff, they literally wanted to do stuff like that.

Are you serious? I was joking.Yeah, because [in the book] they always go on about his perfect teeth, and I never thought about my teeth before. I’m the only one in my family who hasn’t had braces. My two sisters had braces for years, and I never had them and I was always quite proud of that. And so when I started, within a week I had to wear invisalign things, and I didn’t even really know what that was. I don’t know what it is. It’s a brace you put in, and I went into this dentist in Beverly Hills, and there’s this techno music playing, and it was the most L.A. thing I’ve ever seen in my life. And there’s this guy saying, “Yeah, we’ll do some gum surgery at the back, and cut off your gum at the back to make it bigger, and it’s standard procedure. I did this with Matt Perry.” I was like, “What are you talking about?” And the producers are in the corner, writing it all down, going, “How much will this cost? How much will that cost?” So you did go through with it? No. Luckily I had my manager with me, and I was listening to them write it all down, and was just thinking, “Yeah, maybe my teeth could be improved a little bit,” but when they started talking about a four-week recovery period after gum surgery, I was like, “What the *beep*?”

It seems you’re always doing fantasy movie roles. And this winter you’re going to play a real person, but it’s Salvador Dali, who is probably the least normal real person to ever exist. Are you ever going to play an average Joe? I’ve been trying! [laughs] Every role I get is this weird fantasy thing. I’ve been trying right from the start to do that. This thing I’m doing in January will be the first normal guy I’ve played. It’s really bizarre. It’s called “Parts Per Billion,” and it’s with Dennis Hopper, and this character can actually communicate with the rest of humanity.

Back to “Twilight,” did you seek any advice from Stephenie? Well, she kept saying, “I’m sorry for ruining your life.” But, no, I don’t really ask for advice from anyone. I don’t understand how anyone could be jaded by it. There are a lot of attitudes to take, like “Oh, it’s promotion.” And some people treat it like it’s really boring and pointless, and if you do that, then you start to feel like it’s really boring and pointless. But I just try to think. And I go to different cities, but I really don’t get to see any of the city except the inside of a hotel room.

Do people recognize you when you are able to go out? Well, they don’t really, anywhere. It’s just weird little things, like when you go to a bar or restaurant or something, and one person’s read the newspaper about the mall things, and they just ring someone up, and then when you go outside, there’s people there. It’s like, “Ugh. I’m gonna have to go home now.” And people just start following you. That’s what happened in New York, I was promoting and no one had any idea who I was, and then I’d leave somewhere and there would be paparazzi following you for the rest of the night.

It’s the quickness of cellphone culture working against you. Camera phones are the worst invention in the world.

I didn’t know until recently that you were a singer and a songwriter. I’m not, really.

Are you ever going to do anything with it? I don’t know. I was going to, but when you’re doing acting at the same time, it just…I don’t know. It’s not even that it looks bad. It’s just that there’s such a stigma attached to it.

Yeah, I’m right now thinking if there’s anyone who really ever got away with it. I mean Keanu Reeves was only the bassist and people scrutinized him. [laughs] Yeah, he didn’t even have any involvement. He just put his head down. I mean, I’d like to try something. I want to make an album, but I don’t really care if people buy it or not. I wouldn’t really promote it. I wouldn’t really care if people liked it.

Wait, I just thought of one! Vincent Gallo. He’s done OK. Yeah, but Vincent Gallo didn’t really do “Twilight.”

You can go HERE to read the full interview I picked out the good parts though.
