“That’s Rob circa 2005. He (and the ‘Harry Potter’ cast) were in NYC for the ‘Goblet of Fire’ premiere in November and Rob played an Open Mic Night at a bar uptown. He was amazing! After the show, he and his friends just hung out. He asked me questions about myself and what it was like to live in the city…”

From Hollywoodcrush: Donna went on to say that Barbara is a tour de force who specializes in seduction—particularly that of innocent young men who join her circus troupe, which brings us to the subject of Donna’s kissing scenes with Rob.
“I love that I got paid to kiss Robert Pattinson and he wasn’t sick,” Donna said, citing Reese and Rob’s admissions of runny noses during their scene. “He was very sweet. He’s genuinely shy,” she said.
Donna explained that during the scene where her character is performing her burlesque dance and takes her top off to “twirl her tassels,” Rob was particularly taken aback.
“When I did it, I turn around and take off my top, his face was, I think, very genuine,” she recalled. “He’s like, ‘Oh my God, am I really seeing this?’ In my opinion, he was a little bit shy about speaking to me in the makeup trailer for a few days after that day,” she added with a chuckle. “It was a little bit hard for him to look me in the eyes. It was so genuine.”
Yesterday I posted my experience during the Water for Elephants premiere in New York and mentioned a gift that my friends Miriam, Julianna and I had gotten for Robert. Well, here you’ll find out what it was! Another one of our friends got it on video so I’m posting it here so you can all see it. It’s about 5 minutes long but our part starts at about 3:30. That’s when the reporter pulled Robert from taking a photo with me so he’d go with the Brazilian fan. Then at 4:00 he comes back and we give him his gift. You can see him turn and give it to one of his guys. Then Juliana and Miriam got their photos with him.
Robert was really happy with it and said “thank you” after he finished laughing. Funny thng, he was about to stuff it into his suit pocket until Miriam showed him the gift bag we had and then he placed it there.
Do children still dream of running away to join the circus?
Sara Gruen’s best-selling novel, “Water for Elephants,” evokes an earlier time, when towns came to a standstill to watch the circus folk parade down Main Street, the glint of tinsel could pass for glamour and the smell of sawdust could make a boy’s heart race.
To be more precise, the novel is set in 1931, a few years after the heyday of the Big Top. The Great Depression is culling the stragglers, and the surviving outfits scavenge off the remains, picking up flea-bitten big cats and starving artistes on the cheap.
Directed by Francis Lawrence (“I Am Legend”) from a screenplay by veteran Richard LaGravenese (“PS I Love You”), the movie version does a pretty good job balancing the surface exoticism of the Benzini Brothers Circus and the shabbiness that’s fraying away at the edges.
