You can read the full article here. I just posted the parts pertaining to Rob:
It’s hard to imagine now, but the crowds weren’t always there. While filming the first movie in Oregon, Facinelli said he and fellow actors Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson could grab dinner in local restaurants and no one batted an eye.
“We could’ve been doing a cookie commercial. Nobody cared we were doing this movie,” he said. “We felt a responsibility to make a good movie for the fans of the books. But somewhere between the wrapping of filming and the premiere, that fan base exploded.”
Even after that, the dark-haired Facinelli said he often wasn’t recognized in public. In real life, he’s a young-looking 36 with a healthy glow about him. It takes up to two hours in a makeup chair to transform the actor into Carlisle Cullen, a 350-year-old vampire with bleach-blond hair and pale, shimmery skin.
Of course nowadays, admirers have no problem picking the L.A. resident out of a crowd. He’s happy to sign autographs and pose for photos, though he’d rather not pretend he’s biting someone. For the most part, he said, fans are friendly and supportive.
“They’re very polite about it,” he said. “I feel bad for Rob Pattinson. He can’t walk anywhere. I can still walk through a mall and people recognize me, but it isn’t like the whole mall is staring at me.”
Buzz: Have you met Rob [Pattinson]?ML: I have not! He seems like a great guy, though. He really does. Honestly, I’m a fan. He does a great job in the Twilight series.
Buzz: So you’ve seen the Twilight movies?
ML: Yeah, I’ve seen them. I actually read the first book. I did my character research!
Buzz: Can you do an Edward Cullen impersonation for us?
ML: I’m not going do a re-enactment for you! But I had the eyes and I had the hair. My hair was longer too, I had a very good, disheveled Rob Pattinson look going on. It was great, we pretty much closely follow the Twilight film. So a lot of the scenes in Twilight we’re actually doing. What’s also kind of cool is that we also follow our own storyline. It was fun.
From Total Film magazine (August 2010)
âI want to work with an elephant,â says Robert Pattinson, on the California set of circus romance âWater For Elephantsâ. Why the hell not? Adapted from Sara Gruenâs depression-era bestseller, Pattinson plays a young vet, Jacob, who runs away to join a traveling circus after his parents are killed. There he falls in love with beautiful equestrian Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) and befriends untrainable pachyderm Rosie. âInglourious Basterdâ Oscar winner Christoph Waltz â whoâs fast establishing himself as baddie de jour â rounds out the cast as abusive, Dumbo-bothering bastard August Rosenbluth, in what Waltz calls âa sensational adaptationâ, with Francis Lawrence (âI Am Legendâ) on directing duties. Nevermind the elephants, then, whatâs it like working with Waltz? âHeâs terrifying!â smiles Pattinson. We suspected as much.

Yesterday we did a poll asking you guys if you were losing interest in The Twilight Saga. 161 People answered the poll, which is awesome, thank you! 45% of people (73 votes) voted that they were losing interest in The Twilight Saga vs 55% (88 votes) who voted that they were still interested in The Saga.
However, the people who voted that they were losing interest in the Saga commented that they weren’t losing interest in Robert Pattinson (and his Twilight co-stars) and said they couldn’t wait to see him in his other movies (Water for Elephants & Bel Ami).
The reasons stated for the loss of interest in The Saga? Some people said that they simply lost interest in the whole Twilight thing and now wanted to see the stars in other roles, others said it was because of all the drama that goes on which gets to be a little too much and some said it was due to mismanagement. The majority said that even though they were losing interest they would still go see Breaking Dawn to support their favorite actors. You can read all the comments here.
Why did we do this poll? Well as a Rob site we get many comments here on the site, on Facebook, on Twitter and by e-mail and we’ve noticed over the past few months that people had been less enthusiastic about the Saga, yet still very much interested in Rob’s upcoming movies. We decided to reach out to you guys and ask you what your thoughts were. Ironically enough Rob always said that people were more interested in seeing him as Edward Cullen than in any other roles. I guess we proved him wrong đ
Here’s a screencap of Robert Pattinson with the mother of the two boys who play Rob’s sons in Water for Elephants.

Is Interest in the Twilight Saga fading?
Since we’ve heard yesterday that Breaking Dawn Part II won’t be released until November 18, 2012 we’ve been getting a lot of comments on twitter and on Facebook that people are losing interest in the Twilight Saga. From Twilight sites to regular tweeps. That being said, people are not saying they’re losing interest in Robert Pattinson, just that they now want to see him in other roles.
To be perfectly honest I will go see Breaking Dawn but I’m more anxious for Bel Ami and Water for Elephants than for Breaking Dawn. But it’s different for all of us on the site. I know Sparks and Gabby are still really interested in the saga (see we can all have different opinions and get along ;))
So let’s discuss, are you over the Twilight Saga?
We’ll tally the results as we did for the “Which Twilight Edward is Your Favorite poll”
*Please no bashing in the comments, everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether you agree with what they think or not*
ETA: PLEASE Keep the relationship stuff out of it. We try very hard to keep ToR neutral to make it a fun place for every one to be.
Yesterday was Robert Pattinson’s last day of filming on the set of Water for Elephants. Francis Lawrence , the Director, has been doing a great job of keeping us updated on Twitter.
Here are his latest tweets:
Needless to say we can’t wait to see Water for Elephants.
