INTERVIEW: Robert Pattinson Talks 'Life' (The Movie), Life Lessons & More To F Magazine (Greece)

An interview with Robert Pattinson appears in the April issue of Greece's F Magazine where Rob talks about how it was important to him that the perfect person was found to play James Dean in Life, having his personal life 'out there', if he's ever used disguises when out and about (I love that Rob's idea of a disguise is a cap), what he's afraid of and MORE.
It's a good read so grab yourself a cuppa and check out the translation of the interview below thanks to Rob's Promotion




Translation:

He wasn't looking for the easy way... A role that was more like a trap and his progress as an actor is very different from the usual. He is also unbearably good looking!!! Eyes, smile, hair and a talent that makes an effort to be revealed, but I know for sure that it exists!!!! LIFE will be his next movie in which he’ll prove it. Stop doing what you are doing and pay attention: Robert Pattinson talks…

Question: "You have to know that there are similarities between James Dean’s life and yours."
Rob: "For me the story of James Dean and of Dennis Stock are two completely different stories. The story of James Dean, maybe because I’ve lived it up to a certain point, doesn’t particularly interest me. From the very beginning I identified more with the character of Dennis Stock."

Question: "How do you see James Dean? Were you inspired by him?"
Rob: "Almost all actors go through a phase that they have an obsession with James Dean. His movies had a huge influence. Some things are exaggerated, but that has to do with the fact that he had just started. You can see his fearless experimentations. Some of his movements are very gentle, like ballet movements, and others are blatantly strong. I’ve seen a lot of his photos and it’s interesting that he never took a bad picture. This doesn’t have to do just with his face. He always knew how to stand in front of the camera. In 1955 people were not constantly photographed and he wasn’t that famous yet, but he just knew that his face took good pictures. He was very good in controlling that."

Question: "How is it to be photographed? Do you like it?"
Rob: "I’m very bad at that. There was a time when the first Twilight movie was released, I wanted to show a certain profile. When you can control it it’s fine, but when they photograph you all the time, you lose control. Suddenly you are afraid and you become an introvert. At the moment I’m in that phase “Don’t take any pictures of me!”

Robert Pattinson interview with Buzzine

Robert Pattinson sat down and talked to Buzzine about Water for Elephants and....the Royal Wedding? LOL

One of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, Robert Pattinson tries to avoid cameras while continuing his successful acting career with new period romance Water for Elephants with Reese Witherspoon. The handsome actor sat down with Buzzine and opened up about the difficulties his Twilight success has caused in his life, his concept of love, and working with dangerous animals on this film.

Emmanuel Itier: How was it with working all these wild animals, and has your conception of circuses changed while doing this movie in the sense of how they treat animals?

Robert Pattinson: I don’t really know how circuses themselves treat animals. I know a lot of circuses get a bad name for it, but none of the animals we had were from circuses; they were all film animals and stuff. I know how hard it must be. It must be just ridiculous because it’s relentless…because of the amount of injuries the animals get and stuff. For instance, with the horses -- to teach those horses the tricks that they needed to know, it took months and months and months and months. If one of them goes down, there’s no back-up or anything. It’s going to take another six months to train a horse. It’s so precarious, running a circus so much. But working with wild animals, for me, was one of the things which I thought made the job easier. Even before we started, I was thinking it’s like doing a job where you’re just working with babies all the time, because the babies are going to do their own thing and you just react to the baby. I mean, if you've got an elephant in the scene and the elephant is kind of doing whatever it wants, it’s so easy to play anything because you suddenly have a trunk in your face or something, and then you've got to just make something up. No one expects the scene to be totally perfect because everyone has accepted that these are wild animals, and whatever comes will come. It’s not all like, “The animal's got to hit its mark!” It’s never going to be like that. It made it very a relaxing set, in a weird sort of way.

EI: Were there any scary moments at all with the animals?

RP: There was one with the zebras. They’re a lot smarter than horses, and you cannot control them. They’re impossible to tame. If you tie them down, they just drag the rope out, and if they didn’t drag the rope out, they just keep kicking anything around. One of them pulled away and ran toward me. It was part of the scene and I got out of the way. I found out afterwards that everyone thought I was a pussy for getting out of the way. Apparently Christoph [Waltz] had gotten in front of Reese [Witherspoon] and other actresses in apparently protecting them. I was just like, “Really? Christoph was going to risk his life for the scene? Why didn’t he just get out of the way?” I watched back the playback and Reese just grabbed Christoph and used him as a shield from the zebra. It’s very funny, and he’s going around claiming like, “Yeah, I just ran in front of them. [Laughs] The zebra was not going to get past me.”

EI: That brings me to what the director says about you. It’s hard to find a man of 23-24 and who is too young for the part. So he says, "Rob was already a man – thoughtful, intelligent, empathetic, strong, and confident." What can you identify with, and what makes a man a man?

RP: I always just think if you’re comfortable in who you are, then that’s it. I don’t know if people ever really are but if you can be a man, I guess that’s what I see being a man or whatever to be.

EI: Do you feel grown up?

RP: Sort of, and not at all. It’s weird. If you’re doing films, I do feel like you get stuck in little time bubbles, especially with the fame thing as well, where you’re not meeting new people. I never meet anyone. Also, you have to have the same conversation all the time. Everyone who to talks to you -- you just have the same conversation pretty much. So you never develop how most people mature. You see/hear people’s different perspectives on things, but you've got to go through the same trivial bullshit every time you’re talking to them. Eventually it does affect your mind. You don’t actually know how to have a conversation with people about anything else. If someone’s not talking about you, you’ll like, “Uh!” [Laughs]

EI: Where do you go when you want to have a piece of that normal life?

RP: One thing I found: if you are going to do a film, for instance -- not just as an actor, and you’re forcing yourself, like you have to go to meetings and people have to treat you as an actual engineer in the process... That’s why I want to do that and just be... If you’re producing or something, but in a genuine level, not as a vanity credit or anything, where people actually have to come to you with their problems, then you kind of bring it back again. But if you’re just an actor, it’s so funny because people feel like they just have to hide everything from you all the time. It’s like, “Oh, don’t let them get upset about anything,” which is so bizarre. You’re like a little bird. You've got like security around you all the time.

EI: When Jacob sees Marlena, he falls in love with her immediately. Do you believe in love at first sight?

RP: Yeah, completely.

EI: Did that ever happen to you?

RP: A lot … I would have thought the majority of people who think they’re in love with someone, I think it’s the first time they see them. I mean the first time they really see them anyway, I think.

EI: How do you know that you are in love? What kind of a feeling is that for you?

RP: I don’t know. It’s impossible to answer.

EI: When you were young, did you go to see the circus? Were you fascinated with the life of the circus, or not?

RP: I wasn’t really; my sister was. She always was one of these kids who wanted to run away with the circus. When I was a kid, I went once in my life. The little car which the clowns were on, the door blew off and I think it broke one of the clown’s legs or something. My sister turned around to me said, “That clown just died.” She’s a little bit older than me, and I was like, “Huh?” I was looking down at the clown the on the floor, and they had to carry him off the stage. I thought, up until I was about 21 -- that was my only experience of a circus -- that the clown died. Then my mum heard me telling someone, and she was like, “The clown didn’t die. What are you talking about? He just fell off the car.”

EI: If you had the opportunity, like your character, to tell you the story of your life in four years, what would it be? What would you like to be able to tell of your story, and what will be your hope in your story?

Anton Corbijn talks about LIFE and Robert Pattinson: "He works very hard to be valued as an actor"

Anton Corbijn talks about LIFE and Robert Pattinson: "He works very hard to be valued as an actor"



Excerpt from The Playlist:

I believe you said you’d make three films and then evaluate from there, and “Life” is your fourth film. Yeah and for the first three films I made a book about the films because I also [thought they were] going to be my last films. It’s just snapshots with some lighting. But for the fourth film I decided not to do it anymore, so I don’t feel it’s my last film. 

That’s interesting there’s no book, just because “Life” has a photography component, with Dennis Stock.I know, and it’s always in the back of your mind because you have the camera ready if there’s a picture I can take anywhere. But you should actually concentrate on other things. And with “Life,” we shot it in the winter in New York and Toronto, and it was the worst winter in 30 years. I have very low blood pressure so I can’t touch these things. 

In “Life,” Dane DeHaan will be playing James Dean. How difficult was it to cast someone in that role?It was difficult. Also I think for the actors it’s very difficult to step in his shoes. But Dane DeHaan plays it well. He’s a tremendous actor. I don’t think he wanted to do it initially. He wouldn’t take a meeting with me because he didn’t want to be persuaded. But luckily he came to me and he was persuaded. He’s amazing. 

He’s great in “Kill Your Darlings.”Yeah, and “Place Beyond the Pines.” I haven’t seen “Spider-Man [2].” “Lawless” I have seen. And he’s in “Devil’s Knot” and “Life After Beth.” I haven’t seen that. I was in Sundance but I didn’t manage to see a single film. 

What about Robert Pattinson’s work in the movie?Rob and Dan very different kind of actors. They’re very, very different kind of people in the film, so it was fantastic. They were so different naturally. For Rob to play a photographer is quite interesting because he’s being chased by photographers all the time. Rob is of course a film star, but he likes to be seen as an actor, so he works very hard to be an actor and be valued as an actor. And in the film he plays this photographer who wants to be seen as a great photographer. So I think there’s a parallel there that’s helpful. 

He’s made a lot of interesting acting choices, “Cosmopolis”…...Yeah, “The Rover.” I hear that “Map to the Stars” is a really great film. I am looking forward to seeing it. 

I was hoping to see “Life” announced as part of the TIFF 2014 lineup. Yeah, I was hoping that too, but we are too far from finishing, because we finished [shooting] in late October. 

Will we see it at on the fall festival circuit anywhere?I reckon it will be 2015.

I'm so so so looking forward to this film in 2015. SO looking forward.

Robert Pattinson in wider LIFE still from Entertainment Weekly + positive buzz for the still!

Robert Pattinson in wider LIFE still from Entertainment Weekly + positive buzz for the still!

UPDATE: Dane DeHaan tweeted an untagged version of the still!







Caitlin Cronenberg captured a great shot of Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan!



Entertainment Weekly also expanded their write up in the online edition:

It’s 1955 and Life magazine photographer Dennis Stock has convinced a young James Dean to take a road trip from Los Angeles to New York to Dean’s hometown of Fairmont, Indiana, so Stock can photograph Dean in the environments that “affected and shaped the unique character” of Dean, the photographer said in an interview describing their adventure. 

However, that fateful trip, where Stock shot Dean’s famous Times Square photo, is the subject of a new film directed by Dutch director Anton Corbijn. Starring Dane DeHaan as Dean and Robert Pattinson as Stock, the film, called Life, is currently shooting in freezing Ontario, Canada, which is doubling for Indiana. 

In the shot, the two young actors are heading from the train station to Dean’s childhood home. Corbijn is happy with the film’s progress thus far. When we spoke to the director he had been shooting for eight days and was already pleased with the connections formed between the two men. More importantly, they’ve each sparked to their disparate roles. 

“Rob has an intensity that I think Dennis would have. When I see Rob, I see an inner turmoil that is great for the role,” he said. “And Dane is really interesting. He has a beautiful face, but it’s a hard face to grasp. It’s hard to see how Dane reads sometimes, and the same thing goes for James Dean.”

I love what he had to say about Rob and this shot really is fantastic. I cropped the HQ version we posted yesterday for us.



Here's a roundup of a couple of media outlets that had fun things to say about the first look. The Playlist gave us hopes for a fall festival circuit, Collider calls Life a fascinating drama and Moviefone knows what's up. ;)

ThePlaylist:

Here's some good news. While Anton Corbijn has generally taken his time between films—three years passed between "Control" and "The American," and it was four more until the forthcoming "A Most Wanted Man"—the filmmaker is already onto his next gig, currently in the midst of production in Canada on "Life" starring Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan. And yes, that's the first look at the pair above. 

... 

No release dates yet for this one, but one wonders if the quickly moving Corbijn could have it done in time for the fall festival circuit.

Collider:

It’s tough to judge how much DeHaan embodies the role of Dean based on this one slightly obstructed image, but the pieces are all in place for a fascinating drama that provides an interesting point of view on Dean’s life.

Moviefone:

The photo just shows two dudes in a car, but man are those dudes handsome.

Robert Pattinson spotted at a photography shop in London + movie updates for Life and The Lost City of Z

Rob's Life costar, Dane DeHaan, recently shared that he's working with a dialect coach to master James Dean's voice. These tweets today from a London based photography shop, Mr Cad, make us wonder if Rob is picking up a new hobby or doing some Dennis Stock research for Life as well.

Just served Robert Pattinson!!!!!!

Just served Robert Pattinson - Never know which a-listers you'll bump into at Mr Cad.....!!

That's very cool! Mission: Blacklist won our recent poll for which Rob film you're looking forward to him filming (click HERE to see the results) but Life is my number one. The thought of Rob prepping to play Dennis Stock by, pardon the pun, stocking up on photography gear and learning he craft excites me. From personal experience, Rob's a great photographer. He made sure I got a good picture with him since my hands were vibrating phalanges. But I'm assuming much. Maybe Papa Pattinson asked him to go pick up some film. LOL

Another fun bit of Life news is from the director, Anton Corbijn, who premiered a film at Sundance (A Most Wanted Man). From the NYT:

He was only at Sundance for two days, heading directly to the set of his next production, “Life,” in Toronto. It’s the story of the relationship between James Dean and the Life magazine photographer Dennis Stock (played by Dane DeHaan and Robert Pattinson, respectively). 

We know the film is shooting in February but all the main players clearly getting prepped is just putting a spring in my step. Bring on 1950sRob! It's one of my favorite eras.

Not much else going on with the other films. Benedict Cumberbatch also mentioned prepping for The Lost City of Z (click HERE to read) and stating that it will be his next film. The last word on principal photography was summer 2014. No updates for Mission: Blacklist or The Childhood of a Leader. We are watching out for updates on the latter thought because the director, Brady Corbet, was also at Sundance for The Sleepwalker. Queen of the Desert is still filming and Nicole Kidman and James Franco have been spotted. No word on Rob's schedule on the set. And lastly, and sadly, Hold On To Me was removed from Rob's IMDb page. We removed it from our sidebar but we'll have to wait and see if it resurrects for Rob or turns into Unbound Captives.

Thanks Nancy for the tip!

Anton Corbijn Talks 'Life' & Confirms A 2015 Release

Anton Corbijn Talks 'Life' & Confirms A 2015 Release

Anton Corbijn was interviewed by CraveOnline where he spoke about how being a photographer the story of Life interested him and also confirmed that Life would release in 2015.

Life wasn’t part of the TIFF announcement this morning, is there potential for a 2014 release?
No, that’ll be 2015. We haven’t locked picture yet. We still have two more months of sound and [potential] pick-up shoots.

In your background in photography, you’ve photographed numerous icons. Your first film, Control, was a portrait of the iconic Ian Curtis (singer for Joy Division), who died very young. I guess now we’ve confirmed that next year, you have a film that involves James Dean (to be played by Dane DeHaan) in Life. Who also died very young. Is it more difficult to capture an iconic photograph of an individual in life, or to tell their story in death?

I’m flattered that people think my pictures are iconic. That’s not what I set out to be. A lot of people that I worked with in the 70s and 80s were not very well known people, but they became [well known] later. So I’ve not deliberately sought icons. As far as making films for Ian Curtis and James Dean, that is, of course, is very deliberate. Ian Curtis was someone that I knew and I moved to England to make it because I wanted to make it. It was a personal project. And, also, I thought there was a good love story there (between Sam Riley and Samantha Morton).
With Life it’s first and foremost a story about a photographer, Dennis Stock (Robert Pattinson), who profiled James Dean (DeHaan). So it’s the story of a photographer and their subject. As a photographer that story interested me: studying the power balance between a photographer and their subject. You know, who influences who? The James Dean portion of the story wasn’t my interest. In fact I’d turned down a straight James Dean project once before.

Sam Bradley: Rob goes for intelligent, experienced-in-life girls

From the UNcredible National Ledger and it says Sam talked to Life & Style. Sam...Really? Life and Style?

The things he said are cute though...

Rob Pattinson is a bit of a mystery man on screen as edward Cullen and off screen as Robert Pattinson as well. What's he really like? Life & Style talks to a Sam Bradley and they identify him as Rob's best pal. The magazine notes that "Bradley co-wrote the song “Never Think” on the Twilight sound track, is playing Dallas’ TwiCon festival in July and had New Moon cast members cheering him on at his recent Vancouver, British Columbia, concerts.

So - How did this British rocker, who played three sold-out shows at LA’s Hotel Cafe in May, get sucked into the Twilight zone? “Robert was the new kid when I was 12, and I showed him around school,” Sam reveals to Life & Style. The boys became fast friends, later getting a flat together in London, where Sam looked forward to Rob’s expert beans-and-toast making.

***
“He’s very well-rounded,” Sam dishes. “Rob is a really great cook. He’s extremely friendly, very outgoing, very intelligent, very well-read. He loves writing. He’s really talented.” So talented that Sam tapped his pal to contribute to his upcoming album, co-writing tracks influenced by the duo’s families, travels — and loves.

“Rob goes for intelligent, experienced-in-life girls,”(Gozde: Experienced in life sounds kinda slutty doesn't it?:)) he tells Life & Style. “And any chance I can get, I would love to be having a romantic meal with a lady.”

Thanks to our fabulous Rocio and Lindsey for the tips )

Why is Rob so popular with the magazines?

I am assuming we are looking for an answer other than: Because his covers SELL. Let see what Life and Style told Mark Pasetsky's Cover Awards:

CoverAwards spoke exclusively to Life & Style’s editor in chief Dan Wakeford, who explained why Robert Pattinson has suddenly become the new ‘It” cover guy for the magazine:

“Robert Pattinson is a perfect mixture of obsession and mystery, which makes him a fantastic cover star,” says Wakeford.

“He’s bright, cool and handsome, yet doesn’t have the persona of a boy like other heartthrobs. With the Twilight books and movies so prevalent, Life & Style’s readers are obsessed by him and his character Edward and are addicted to every new piece of information they can get about him.”

What’s the really special part about Pattinson?

“And if that weren’t enough, who can resist an English accent?” asked Wakeford. (who also has an English accent!)

Life & Style Weekly released its fourth Life & Style Robert Pattinson cover this week!

This week (above) focused on Robert Pattinson’s messy love triangle.

Life & Style’s “Twilight Fight” cover featured Robert Pattinson’s professional drama!

Life & Style’s “Back On!” cover plays off the idea that readers believe Pattinson and Stewart are secretly dating

Life & Style’s “Twilight Romance” cover was the first cover in the celeb weekly space to feature the possible Pattinson/Stewart romance

Great VIDEOS: Robert Pattinson On The Set Of 'Life' Last Night, MORE New Pics & That's A Wrap for 'Life'

4 Mins of Rob. Oh ya! And if you can tear your eyes away from Rob watch out for director Anton Corbijn making a cameo as a photographer











CHECK OUT MORE NEW PICS HERE & HERE 

From Popsugar:

Robert Pattinson found himself on the opposite side of the red carpet on Monday when he shot a paparazzi scene for his newest film, Life, in Toronto. The actor giggled with his fellow faux photographers while waiting behind a velvet rope to take pictures of other actors on the set. There's a good reason for Rob's being behind the camera, as he plays Dennis Stock, a real-life photographer who is on a quest to take a snap of James Dean (played by Dane DeHaan) for Life magazine. The former Twilight star has been working on the film for the past month and recently made for a picture-worthy snap when he and Dane filmed a motorcycle scene several weeks ago.

Robert is currently preparing for the release of another film, The Rover, which is slated to hit theaters on June 13. Meanwhile, he also has the highly anticipated Maps to the Stars release to prepare for, which has yet to be given a firm premiere date for this year. After Life, Robert will start filming on two other projects — The Child of a Leader and Hold on to Me.

 Dane DeHaan also tweeted that the movie has wrapped, along with this pic of the vintage cars being packed up ........

NEW INTERVIEW: Robert Pattinson - "I feel more confident now but want to keep improving and evolving"

NEW INTERVIEW: Robert Pattinson - "I feel more confident now but want to keep improving and evolving"

As thoughtful as ever. You'll enjoy this interview with Rob reflecting on his craft, himself, and the film, Life.

Yahoo Singapore, Robert Pattinson, "I had a lack of self belief": EN Interview 1 - Ever since the Twilight films turned him into an object of mass attention, Robert Pattinson has tried to find his way clear of fan obsession and make his mark as a serious actor. Films like Cosmopolis and Bel Ami helped distance audiences from his vampire alter ego, and now, in Anton Corbijn's Life, Pattinson gives what is arguably the best performance of his career. The 28-year-old heartthrob plays Dennis Stock, the photographer whose iconic photos of James Dean during the last months of his life have sustained the actor's legend even more than his films.

"James Dean is very much an iconic figure to me," Pattinson says. "He represents disaffected youth and alienation in a powerful way that still resonates with us. Those photos of Dean, like the one where he is walking in Times Square, are much more part of our image and impression of him than his films. You can feel his aura and mystique in those photos."

It was an ironic choice of roles for Pattinson who was able to experience what life is like on the other side of the camera lens: "When you're on the red carpet, it's an eerie experience because you don't see the photographers because you're blinded by the lights and flashes most of the time! As a photographer, you get to hide behind your camera."

One of the hottest films at the recently concluded Berlin International Film Festival, LIFE explores the parallel lives of James Dean - played by Dane DeHaan - and Dennis Stock (Pattinson) while the latter was on a road trip taking photos of Dean as part of an assignment for Life Magazine, one of the most popular magazines of its era. The photos subsequently became the stuff of legend and posters that young people would put on their walls as a symbol of youthful rebellion and cool.

Pattinson not only understood something of how James Dean must have felt when his career skyrocketed within a very short time in Hollywood, but also how today's stars - Pattinson included - are so overexposed that they lose all mystery.

"People didn't know that much about Dean's private life and those photos that Stock took of him had so much more impact and meaning than anything you could imagine today," Pattinson muses about the work of the photographer who passed away in 2010.

For director Anton Corbijn, the film also has a deeper meaning in that before he became better known as a filmmaker, he achieved considerable fame for his NME photo shoot of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis shortly before he hung himself. Like Stock did with his photos of Dean, The images of Curtis taken by Corbijn have in their own way amplified the legend of the fabled singer and Corbijn subsequently directed the film Control which depicted Curtis's dark and difficult life.

Wearing a fairly lush beard and looking pleasantly disheveled, Robert Pattison was greeted by adoring crowds during his stay at the Berlin festival. He was wearing a grey Armani jacket and jeans for our chat at the five-star Hotel de Rome.

In addition to Life, audiences will see Pattinson play Col. T.E. Lawrence in Queen of the Desert, a film starring Nicole Kidman and directed by Werner Herzog.

THE INTERVIEW
Q: Robert, it must have been inspiring to play an iconic photographer like Dennis Stock?  

PATTINSON: His photos have played a huge part of our collective consciousness of James Dean and the myth that still surrounds him 55 years after his death. Almost everyone has seen some of those photos and so many people including myself have been influenced by our image and perception of Dean and how he represents disaffected youth. Dean is still one of the key figures who represent a kind of defiance and rebellion and someone who felt the confusion of being young and not wanting to conform or stick to the rules. There are very few photographers who have been able to capture that kind of mystique the way Dennis Stock did. 

Q: How did you relate to Dennis Stock and his work as a photographer?  

PATTINSON: What fascinated me was that he was an artist who was struggling with living up to his own expectations of what he should be doing as an artist. He doesn't feel he's accomplishing enough or doing the kind of work he wants to be doing. I've spent a long time dealing with the same kind of issues and trying to attain goals that I've set for myself and wanting to do the best work possible. I'm still very driven to do work that challenges me. 

Q: Did you go through a James Dean phase in your younger days?  

PATTINSON: (Laughs) I think almost every actor has a moment in their live when they are either obsessing over James Dean or trying to imitate some aspect of his personality or his acting style. I was a fan of his even before I wanted to become an actor. We all want to look as cool as he did although it's pretty much impossible! (Laughs) I admire his work greatly although I don't think I'm anything like him and I wouldn't dare to compare myself to him. 

Q: Would you have wanted to play Dean yourself?  

PATTINSON: No! I wouldn't have dared. And I think Dane (DeHaan) does a brilliant job. 

Q: What kind of research did you do to prepare for the film?  

PATTINSON: Anton (Corbijn) showed me a taped interview with Dennis Stock in which he was very rude to the interviewer. He was always a very complex figure and he had a lot of anger inside because he was very ambitious and wanted to make his mark as an artist. He was very jealous of other artists.
I also spent several months learning to use a camera and work with cameras the way a professional photographer would use them. I took a lot of photos and practiced the kind of movements a photographer makes while working. For a photographer, the camera is basically an extension of his body and he hides behind it while he's taking photos. 

Q: Dennis Stock was very conflicted about his work. Were you the same way?  

PATTINSON: I've suffered from a lack of self-belief. You worry that you're just faking it and people will start to see through you. So that fear keeps me going and inspires me to take on as many challenges as I can. I was making things much more difficult for myself by constantly worrying about my work and then I started to realise that I just had to simplify my approach and let my instincts take over. I feel a lot more confident now but I still have enough doubts that make me want to keep improving and evolving as an individual and as an actor. 

Q: This kind of movie addresses the issue of celebrity and how an actor becomes larger than life. You've experienced that with your work as Edward Cullen in the Twilight films. How have you transitioned past that part of your career? 

PATTINSON: It's become a lot easier as the years have gone on. It's not just that it's been a few years since the last Twilight, it's also that I've become a lot better at handling the attention.
One of the interesting things about the film is that it deals with how someone like Stock can block himself and stand in his own way because of his fears and jealousies. He wanted to be seen as an artist in the same way that Dean was and this was a complex issue for him. I've also dealt with my own anxieties in terms of what I wanted to achieve and my own artistic goals. 

Q: How do you feel that process is coming along? 

PATTINSON: I feel like I'm where I want to be. I don't feel frustrated anymore by the legacy of Twilight and the fact that I've been identified with my work in those films. I knew that it was going to take some time before people would be able to see me in a different way and that I would have to play a lot of different roles to shake up people's expectations of me. It's normal because of the massive success of those films. But in the long run I've tried to benefit from the attention I gained and find as many interesting roles as I can. I think people are beginning to see me differently now. 

Q: Has there been any one film in particular that's helped you feel that you're on the right track in terms of your career? 

PATTINSON: I was kind of drifting and unsure of what kinds of films I wanted to do until I did Cosmopolis with David Cronenberg. He offered me the role out of nowhere just a few weeks after I had finished the last Twilight film and suddenly I was thrown into this incredible story and playing a very complicated character. That changed my perspective and I knew that this was the kind of work that I wanted to do. It made a huge difference to me. 

Q: Is it easier being Robert Patttinson now? 

PATTINSON: (Laughs) I don't know... but I'm having a lot more fun now. You need to get past all the things that are holding you back and then everything starts becoming a lot easier in general.

Translation
Robert is the perfect example of what the media and fame are capable of doing. It’s a huge stroke of luck, brutal and well-aimed that all of a sudden launches you to the highest peak of worldwide attention, away from good and evil. Something very tempting and are.“I wasn’t expecting having this much success. It’s something I still can’t understand. The truth is that in certain occasions I feel dizzy and I still don’t know how to handle so much attention” he expresses, in a very shy voice, almost like a whisper, as if he was telling us a secret. His eyes, so clear they’re almost transparent, stare attentively at us and distract us. It’s not easy resisting his charms! His honesty wins us over though, because far from finding a male diva, we discover, little by little a sensitive man. Warm and charming. We don’t hesitate in sharing with him what we really think: luck, yes, it’s fundamental, but if it doesn’t come hand in hand with talent and magic, everything remains just an anecdote. Robert smiles, he likes the idea. For now he knows that in talent he has exceeded expectations but he worries that he might not be up to the hype and the phenomenon that he’s become. It’s clear to us; charisma is authentic. And after this interview, there’s no doubts about it.

Last time we saw you, Twilight was about to be released and you said you didn’t know what to expect of the movie, and that everybody was looking forward to it. After all the success and box office numbers, how do you feel?
It’s very strange. I can say that everything has happened very fast. Like I’m fast-forwarding through life. Like everything around me is happening at 1000 m/p. The way you fast-forward a movie, just like that. I never thought the movie would cause such a stir. Seeing girls screaming around me is so bizarre. Sometimes I can’t believe is all about me. It’s like I’m living inside a movie, but I wake up and it’s all real. I see that it’s real and how much my life has changed. I still don’t know in which ways my life has changed, I’m still figuring that out. And I don’t know why but I think it’s going to take me a long time to figure it out. I guess it’s normal, don’t you think?

Of course! But we can’t deny that you’re already such a phenomenon by yourself. You have fans waiting for your next movie and wondering what you’re up to. Are you aware of that?
Yes, in fact, that’s the most strange part of it. For instance, I haven’t been able to see the final cut of New Moon, and I’ve read so many comments and opinions about it already. It’s something I can’t understand. It’s like everyone else can read into your future or, like they have more information of your life than you do.

Does that generate any pressure for you? Has it affected your work or changed you freedom in doing other things, or taking chances for fear of not acomplishing what others expect of you?Honestly, no. In that sense I feel like I’m the same person i’ve always been and I feel I have all the freedom in the world. I’m still doing my job as best as I can, and most importantly, I still enjoy it. I admit that I do feel more safe in movie sets that on the streets. I never thought that one day that would happen, but I feel that in movie sets I can be myself, and be more relaxed and focused on what I have to do. When I go out for a walk, I have to be aware of everything that’s around me and that’s out of my control. On a familiar set at least you know what to expect most of the times (laughs).

Does it affect you what tabloids say about you and seeing yourself in the cover of these magazines?
Not at all. I don’t like to read them or be aware of what they say. At all. It’s something I avoid completely. I do my work, live my life and follow my intuitions. I make my decisions the best way that I can and that’s it. If you pay attention to any of that, you’ll lose. I’m aware of that and I try to be very careful about it. I try to live away from that, saving my self disgusts and headaches.

In Twilight we got to see some sexual tension between Bella and Edward. That’s something very enigmatic. Will that continue in the rest of the movies?
I don’t think there was sexual tension, nor do I think that that’s the focus of the movies. I don’t see it that way. I think it’s a stroy about what it means to commit to a feeling and to the person that you love. Above all, it’s about finding someone to love despite having to fight so many problems that might show up. What hooks you about the movie, I’m convinced about it, is that it talks about the fear of what can happen to you if you fall in love and give yourself away completely. Realising how far you can go for love, passion and being amazed by it. People identify with it more than you can imagine. To me it’s not even a story about vampires, but about feelings that we’ve all felt before. It talks about the fear of feeling those things. It’s a movie with so many meanings, that’s why I like it and I think that’s why people like it too.

Tell about how you can’t expect what’s going to happen when you go out.
Yes, it’s something I’m still taking in. I’m plain, I like normal things. But now there’s rumors about the places I like to visit, and I can’t go to those places anymore. One time I tried. I wanted to celebrate my birthday on the same place I always go to, and it was a total failure, There was so many people, I couldn’t have a good time. From that point on, I try to avoid places where I can be seen and become the object of paparazzi and curious people. I also avoid the hip, famous places where people think I might be at. I’ve changed them for darker places, those dodgy places where there’s good food and music. It’s sounds crazy, but I’ve had to develope strategies to go out with my friends and have a normal life. It’s the dark side of fame. But I don’t complain. I just asume that I have to deal with it now. Not everything can be perfect. I have so much already, having the oportunity of living from acting. It would be unfiar to say that I’m unlucky.

There are actors who would die to be in your shoes. Would you say that it’s a double life? The one that you live in front of the cameras, in red carpets and the one you live intimately?
Yes. In the end you have your real life and the one they make up in inteviews, not caring if what they’re saying is true or false. What’s true is that I’m too normal and I give them no material to write, so I’m an easy prey for make up stories. I should go wild and do crazy things so they have something to write about. My flaw for those tabloids is that I’m too calm and quiet (laughs).

And in those moments of intimacy and privacy, is it true hat you like to play the guitar? What do you do when you’re by yourself?
I do play the guitar. I have friends in Vancouver and I get together with them to play the guitar, listen to music. We spend the nights singing and swapping stories. I also do that when I’m at hotels. It’s relaxing. Music is my other passion. I hope I never leave it.

Speaking of passion and music, we know you write songs. What can you share about it?
I’m trying to write some songs for the next movie. I don’t know if it will be possible because of my schedule, but I want to do it. Music is the other side of me, it’s one of the things that complete me and I wouldn’t want to leave it aside for anything in the world. I have the intention of evolving in that aspect. It’s something I want to develope just as much as acting. I want to have a balance between those two things.

What other artistic endeavours are you interested in?
I always wanted to be a pianist and live in the south of France (laughs). But I’ve learned that it’s not important how you do things, but the final outcome. In life you always end up doing what you like. And nothing completes you more than that.

Do you have a spiritual side?
I believe in Karma. I believe it exists and whatever you do in your everyday life makes the eprson that you are. What you give in life comes back to you. I’m convinced of that, so I’m sure that everyday you have to be a good person and treat everyone with respect. We’re all connected.

We know you can’t say much about New Moon, but don’t leave before you tell us, did you have to go to some place dark to play this vampire again?
Yes, the truth is that the way I wanted to play Edward was less powerful. He’s a character that can’t change his condition, he didn’t choose his fate. He was unconcious when Carlisle turned him into a vampire. When he woke up, three days later, he realized that in oder to survive he would have to kill people. Imagine what would you feel like if you knew you would never grow old and that you would live forever. And what’s worse, you didn’t look for it. You become a sort of Superman without even wanting to be that, you were just a 17 year old kid. You must feel a huge impotence and frustration. Instead of believeing you’re hero, you’re a person who can’t find himself and doesn’t know who he is. Understanding that has been fundamental in understanding Edward. That very human side of him is what I love about him and I feel like I can relate to that. There’s something we all find hard to change and face about ourselves.

PRINT INTERVIEW: Exberliner Interview Robert Pattinson For 'Life' ~ "It's Interesting Playing A Part Where You're Envious As An Artist"

PRINT INTERVIEW: Exberliner Interview Robert Pattinson For 'Life' ~ "It's Interesting Playing A Part Where You're Envious As An Artist"

Another great new interview with Robert Pattinson for Life promo. Slightly similar questions (& answers) to some of the others we've seen but still a few new parts too.
Enjoy!



From Exberliner:

James Dean was an icon of a generation. And the story of that young actor who starred in Rebel Without a Cause and East of Eden before dying tragically in a car crash at the age of 24 makes for an intriguing if sad tale, one that has been endlessly documented and retold in both film and written form. But in the film Life, directed by Berlin-based director Anton Corbijn, the obvious story of James Dean is turned on its head. Rather than the life and death of Dean, it’s the ambitions of a young photographer hoping to to document James Dean’s rising profile that Life takes as its subject matter.

In Life James Dean is still a largely unknown actor who is on the cusp of fame, with the two films that made him famous on the verge of coming out. Photographer Dennis Stock (played by Robert Pattinson), senses James Dean’s (Dane DeHaan) rising star and seeing the opportunity for his own photography career, is determined to pin down the rebellious, and press-shy Dean for a photo-shoot. While Dean agrees in principle, actually pinning him down for a shoot proves anything but straightforward. Based on the true story behind the LIFE Magazine photos of James Dean which would cement the young actor’s reputation as an icon, and become some of the most celebrated photos of the last century, Life explores the tension between photographer and subject, fame and authenticity, and what it means to be an artist.

Before taking on this role, did James Dean mean anything to you personally?

I certainly went through a period where I was really into him. I'd watch all of his old interviews and stuff. I remember when I first started acting, I'd really look at a lot of his body language on camera, and I remember being really into him then. Even if you don't appreciate him as an actor, it's astonishing especially given it was 1955, how ahead of his time he was in terms of camera technique and style.

Given your fascination with him, were you tempted at all to play the James Dean character in this movie?

No, not really. It's just not who I am at all. I always related more to being kind of someone who’s getting in his own way all the time, which is very much like Dennis Stock. His battle is only with himself, and that's something I can understand.

NEW Translated interview with Robert Pattinson for Life

New interview with Robert Pattinson for Life



A new Italian interview with Robert Pattinson about his role in Life, has been published in the newspaper Corriere della Serra.  It's a translated interview and so the accuracy may not be the best.  An excerpt of the translation is copied below:

“To set myself free from the Twilight saga, I agreed to be the co-star in Life”, says the actor who plays the star’s photographer who died 60 years ago.

“Twilight? I am proud to have been a part of it. I am no longer forced to pursue a job as I did before Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The fame sprung after that still puts me at ease, also on the economic side, to select only the projects I believe in. And Life is the proof of that.”

Q: What effect did it have on you to be the photographer and not the subject of the pictures for once?
“I realized how much it may be difficult to deal with a star. When you’re on the red carpet you actually don’t even see the photographers, you move doing some poses, often studied, but you can’t see the faces, you only see the flashes. Of course, it wasn’t easy for a photographer of that time, as well as certainly it isn’t today. However, Dean was able to keep his private life enough hidden. It was a different era, but there wasn’t less greed to know the intimate details of his daily life than nowadays.”

Q: Idol of the young generation, beautiful, certainly not a “bad boy”, but still quite with a dark charm: when you got the script, did you think you would be the right one for the role of James Dean?
“I think one might think of it, but it wouldn’t be the right choice for both the good of the character as well as for me. They would start the comparisons, I would be accused of presumption and then, perhaps, I would not be able to give that little extra that instead DeHaan managed to do. From my point of view, been able to play Stock and his way of relating to someone so elusive, but in his way charming, magnetic, posed a challenge is even more exciting than to impersonate Dean.”

Q: At the time of that story Stock was 27, he was already a father and he had to struggle between work and family while pursuing his dream of becoming an accomplished photographer: you are almost the same age, 29, you are already famous and you don’t have a family: it seems that there can’t be a more distant character…
“At a first glance yes, but these aren’t the characteristics which most define a person. Both the success and becoming a parent are variables that depend on you, or rather, not only on you. You need luck and find a person who, in addition to love, wants the same things that you want at the time you want them. Stock was like me in the determination to wanting to be an artist, and also in that bit of initial embarrassment that I often feel when I relate myself with someone for the first time.”

Q: Are you a shy person?
“No, but I need some time to open up to anyone.”

Q: Even romantically?
“With anyone, even in love.”

Q: Did you ever fear that the label “the one from that Twilight movie” could negatively affect your future in acting?
“The success of Twilight is something special that I will never regret. Since I started this career I am trying to improve myself, to challenge myself with different roles compared to those I have already interpreted. If in 10 years they will speak of me still just as “the one from Twilight”, the blame will be mine alone.”

"The Buried Life" dish more about their upcoming episode with Robert Pattinson

"The Buried Life" dish more about their upcoming episode with Robert Pattinson

Speaking with UsMagazine.com, the guys from MTV's "The Buried Life" talked a little bit more about "stealing" Robert Pattinson's lock of hair. I'll discuss why I put "stealing" in quotes at the end of the post ;)

UsMagazine.com: Way to be the envy of women everywhere now that you've bonded with one of the world's hottest vampires! How did this whole plan come together?
Jonnie Penn: The item we wanted to cross off our list was No. 48: accept a dare. This season on the show, we wanted to do things that were really difficult and we asked the audience to challenge us to do something we didn't want to do. Stealing a lock of Robert Pattinson's hair seemed like the most impossible from the list our fans sent us on Facebook. Someone wrote in asking if we'd steal Mike Tyson's tiger from The Hangover, which sounded also very difficult, but could also be deadly, so we decided not to do that one.

Us: Were you a Twi-hard when you began this task?
JP: I was as familiar with him as the next person, but we had to do research online and on Twitter beforehand.

Us: You didn't have R-Pattz posters on your bedroom walls?
JP: No. But now I do! [Laughs]

Us: Dave and Duncan joined you on this task, which involved a movie premiere, an after-party and a tiny pair of scissors. Who was the one who actually yanked out his hair?
JP: Honestly, it wasn't a tackle and take down. We told him Rob we were dared to steal a lock of his hair and asked if he'd do it. He looked at me like I was crazy, but he ultimately said yes. We explained that it wasn't something necessarily that we were asking him for, but we told him the truth that we were put up to it. I guess he considered it and figured one little hair wouldn't hurt. He played along, which I commend him for. We chatted a little bit -- he was with two friends.

Us: Do you know if Rob watches The Buried Life?
JP: I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets asked about this. That would be cool if he watches. We could use a vampire on The Buried Life!

Us: So, do you prefer Rob bearded or clean-shaven?
JP: Well, No. 15 on our list [of 100 things to do before we die] is grow a moustache, so anybody who can cross that off before me I commend!

Us: So where did the hair end up? On eBay?
JP: We talked about exploding it out of a cannon, and Duncan joked about putting it under his pillowcase so he could sleep at night. We also considered using it to grow another Robert Pattinson, but none of those ideas panned out. I feel like we did the right thing with the hair in the end, which you'll see on Monday's show.

Find out what happened when the guys cornered Rob to steal his locks -- and what they did with the famous strands -- when The Buried Life airs Monday at 10:30 p.m. (EST) on MTV.

Tink: There's also a video from MTV giving us more of an idea of where these guys "stole" Robert Pattinson's lock of hair.

MTV Shows

So it was at Hotel Cafe. We can make a guess that it was one of Sam's shows during the summer since Rob attended 3 out of 4 of those. I'm not stalking...proof is in the pictures ;) I'd also take a bet the 2 friends he was with were Sam and Tom.

Can't wait to see :)

Now why am I quoting "steal"? Well...because clearly from their article, they didn't steal a lock of Rob's hair. They do know what steal means, right? So they failed their challenge. I'm wildly competitive and I would disqualify their submission on the technicality.

I move to reissue a NEW dare to "The Buried Life"!

DARE: Find Robert Pattinson and snatch off his baseball cap. FREE THE SEX HAIR!!! FREE THE SEX HAIR!!!!!!

All those in motion say, "AYE!" ;)




Thanks RobPattzNews for the tip!

ROBsessed Giveaway: September Rains and Between Octobers during a Marvelous May for Fiction Friday!

ROBsessed Giveaway: September Rains and Between Octobers during a Marvelous May for Fiction Friday!

We have plenty of goodies today! Book sets, sequels and gift cards, oh my!

The book set is coming from an author and Rob fan who we've featured before with her novel, Between Octobers. You guys might recognize A. R. Rivera from the comments and she's our featured author for this Fiction Friday!

Last year, A.R. released Between Octobers and also let us know that Rob inspired one of the characters! From A. R.:

Rhys Matthews, also known as Evan, is a fictional character from my book, Between Octobers. He is Graces’ love interest–handsome, funny, charming, and an all-around nice guy. His career–the mania that surrounds him–is inspired by that of Robert Pattinson. He also happens to be British, with great hair and a few dark secrets. He is poised to steal Graces’ heart.

We certainly love when that happens. Her second book in the Savor The Days series, September Rain, is released today, May 15th and we have 2 copies to giveaway including 2 copies of Between Octobers. So our winners will be able to read the latest novel and catch up on the first if you haven't done so already. September Rain isn't a sequel to Between Octobers by plot but have connected characters - and the Rob-inspired character. ;)

Reviews aren't out yet for September Rain but an excerpt from this reviewer is just the perfect description for Between Octobers and what to expect from A. R.:

"I went into this book thinking it was going to be a run-of-the-mill thriller. I was pleasantly surprised when the book began seamlessly alternating between suspense and love story. I honestly don't know that I've ever read another book like it."

Between Octobers synopsis:

Happy endings have always eluded Grace Zuniga. 

Now, she is in real trouble, hoping and praying that will change. When she wakes up in a dark, confined space with no memory of how she got there, the fear is nearly crippling. 

There are only two thoughts keeping her from losing her head. 

First, her children need her to survive. Though Grace is not sure she can, she's determined to try. 

Second, figuring out who took her and how she ended up, pregnant, alone, and at the mercy of a person who will do anything to keep her from escaping. 

Stumbling through her bleak circumstances, Graces mind wanders over the last life-changing year, from one October to the next, and relives the most precious moments and circumstances that led to her kidnapping. 

The previous October, as Grace stepped inside an elevator and into the life of enigmatic Rhys Matthews, it all began. But Grace must ask herself, "where will it end?"

September Rain synopsis:

Clinging to your past will smother your right now . . . which is exactly what Angel Patel is hoping for, since nothing in her present life is quite what it seems. 

The past is where she left her heart, beating inside the chest of the boy she loved. What does she have in the here and now that’s so special? Nothing and no one. 

Angel’s been in prison for the past six years. She's got about sixty square feet of concrete flooring enclosed by concrete walls and one metal door. One twin-sized bunk. No windows—which means no view. No birds, no trees. No family to visit. No friends. 

Avery Campbell doesn’t count. She was never Angels’ friend, though if you asked Avery, she’d say different. She’d sell her story to anyone; try to make them believe that it was okay for her to betray her life-long friend—the only real friend she ever had. Avery’s convinced that lies are acceptable if they protect someone. But that isn't always true. 

It all goes back to when Angel and Avery met the hazel-eyed boy who would become the love of Angels’ life. Jake Haddon. He was a surprise. Such talent; a gorgeous, undiscovered, musical genius at the age of eighteen. He was also the lead singer of Angels’ favorite indie rock band on the cusp of stardom. 

When the state prison Angel resides in is marked for closure, Angel and her lawyer go before a two-person panel to plead her request to be moved to a moderate security facility, better suited for someone like Angel. Ever anxious to draw out the memories of her life with Jake, Angel recalls how Jake was the only good part of her terrible life as a disposable kid, raised in foster care. With him, she was happy for the first time in seventeen years. Because she didn’t know what Avery was doing. 

During the case review, as Angel recounts the lies and mistakes that snowballed into the sentence she’s currently serving, she’s simultaneously formulating a plan to escape. She aims to find her long-lost love, Jake, and spend the rest of eternity trying to make up for her part in the crimes that landed her in jail. 

But before she can do that, she needs to get through the case review. She has to make sure that the interviewing panel understands that it was not her—that is was her best-friend turned sworn-enemy, Avery—who plotted and carried out the crimes. That it was Avery who killed Angels’ boyfriend, Jake Haddon.

In Fix You, movie star Andrew Pettigrew (Andy to his fans, Andrew to his friends) somehow found the level-headed love he was looking for in young widow and “regular girl” Kelly Reynolds. Now, as they work to mesh their growing relationship with his gold-statue ambitions, things go a bit sideways, in true Hollywood fashion.

Though they’re still wonderfully in love, it’s challenge enough for Andrew and Kelly to decipher what it means to be a family—and a growing family at that—between takes on set. But Andrew also brings history with a temperamental co-star, assorted paparazzi, and someone out there who has serious, perhaps obsessive, issues with him into the mix. Suddenly the Reynolds-Pettigrew clan must fight not just to stay together, but to stay safe.
In Trouble Me, the sequel to Fix You and third novel from Rita finalist Beck Anderson, Kelly and Andrew struggle to stay sane within their whirlwind life. It’s a life that’s equal parts amazing and amusing, less glamorous than you might expect, and spiked with very real fears no amount of stardom can overcome.

Will Andrew and Kelly be torn apart, or will they help each other stay strong at their broken places?

Thanks a Million to Fritzerina
for translating this for us!

Robert Pattinson, the vampire in the twilight saga, looks tired but has a huge smile on his face because right now he is promoting his new movie "Water For Elephants" and he is ready to talk about everything besides kristen stewart, who everyone claims to be his girlfriend. Everyone but him who doesn't even want to talk about it.

Q: Lets talk about water for elephants,as soon as the movie start, on the screen we see a phrase about your character and the fact that he is still waiting for his life to start, that since that moment nothing important has already happen to him. Have you ever had this same feeling? Moreover for you what really was the turning point in your life?

A: My life already started but i didn't reach the turning point yet. Even if i think i reach the turning point every 2 years. Let me explain..every 2/3 years it feels like my life is moving in fastforward and everytime i find myself thinking: What's going to happen now.

Q: So what is going to happen now?

A: I don't know. I think i'm reaching the end of something

Q: Work or personal life?

A: Both. Work in some kind of way is an influence in private life. It's like every 3 movies something in my life changes.

Q: What would you like to do now?

A: I would like to be able to give something more during the production of a movie. After the Twilight Saga I have another project. Cosmopolis, with director David Cronenberg I believe it's going to be fun and a completely different work from the one on the Twilight Saga. And after Cosmopolis i think i want to start something new. I already have some project in mind.

Q: Are you talking about music? Still thinking about being a musician?

A:Yes even though I haven't played in long time. To be clear I don't play every day anymore. For example recently i was in New Orleans and I played piano with a local band in a pub. It was fun and I asked myself: "Why did i stop to playing the piano?" It was incredible and I had so much fun. However working with music needs a lot of time and to do it i would have to leave everything else, take 6 months off just for playing and learning to play piano and guitar again. But at this time in my career i can't afford to do it.

Robert Pattinson in the Italian Vanity Fair Magazine - Scans and Translation

Between the shooting of the Twilight movies, he dismissed the clothes and fangs of the vampire to play the part of a student who has to deal with the struggles of a 20 year old (“A kind of anger I know quite well”) and love. And, about girls, he has a way to recognize the good ones.

If humankind is divided between the 'I wish but I can't' party and the 'I could but I don't want to' party, I propose Robert Pattinson as worldwide candidate of the second party. 23 years old, vampire in spite of himself, unwilling sexy icon, the guy with a suitcase (he has 3 suitcases actually, like the years he has been spending living in hotels) looks at the world through a porthole and thinks 'Duh' (Babs: this is a quote from an Italian song, it doesn't make much sense in English...). Then he plays a guitar chord, drinks a beer, crunches a Twix and goes on.

He admits that he has never had the sacred fire of art, but he was a good looking guy and the acting school of the Barnes Theatre Company was a good place to meet girls. One thing leads to another and you find yourself on the set of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Then you happen to find out that they're auditioning for Twilight and you record a tape with a friend, but you think it's so bad that you don't send it in. But, since luck can be much more stubborn than you, you get a call and the leading role.
