Joseph is the latest addition to the series playing Klaus and spoke exclusively to omg! about how a franchise such as Twilight would affect the success of its male lead:
“Provided he didn’t mess it all up, Robert was guaranteed a fan base thanks to Twilight,” Joseph told us.
“His character is iconic and there’s a huge following of the books but there’s a tremendous amount of pressure that comes with that.”
The gravitas of playing a heartthrob is something the 30-year-old actor can relate to as he explained how much passion fans have for the parts he and RPattz play.
“People have their own very distinctive ideas of how a character should be portrayed especially when you’re playing a vampire.”
But this is something Robert does flawlessly, as Joseph adds it’s not just Edward Cullen who turned him into a superstar.
“Having the talent helped, Robert is quite charming and humble in the press during interviews which helps.
“I do worry thought that after Vampire Diaries finishes how many fans will come with me to watch other projects that I do and if it’s just the vampire phenomenon that made us [me and Robert] famous. It’s harder for Robert though.”
Judging by Joseph’s looks, we don’t think it’s just talent or the acting gig he’s got that draws the fans in but it’s clearly something he worries about.
“It’s too early to say if I think I’ve been typecast, but I’ve been forced to take on different roles but I’m not going to lie I have done jobs just to pay the rent.”
Naturally we had to ask if he’d like to reach the dizzy Hollywood heights that Robert has to which he replied rather diplomatically…
“That guy is more famous than anyone at the moment, of course I’d like to have Robert Pattinson’s career but I don’t like the whole celebrity aspect of it.“I’m not interested in having a photo shoot in a magazine it allows people to buy into you too much. I’m not against talking about my personal life but I don’t want it to be a soap opera.
“I’m not saying Robert’s is, but he can’t escape it – like the gossip around who is he dating, I don’t want all that.”
But that’s what we REALLY need to know! Our final question to the actor was if he watched Twilight in preparation for his role in Vampire Diaries…
“I watched the first one but didn’t want to play it the same as Robert. I thought he was good, there are so many parallels drawn between Twilight and Vampire Diaries that it was better for me not to watch it.”
Joseph, we think your life would be better with Twilight (and Vampire Diaries) in it, ours certainly is!

We’ve nabbed an EXCLUSIVE DVD extra in which “Twilight” scribe (and “Breaking Dawn” producer) Stephenie Meyer recalls filming the climactic birth scene. Watch the behind-the-scenes clip of Edward (Robert Pattinson) trying to revive Bella (Kristen Stewart) as Stephenie explains:
“He was really able to touch the human emotions of that scene. Rob really nailed it,” Stephenie recalled. “It was really powerful. I teared up, several people near me did. It was just a lump in your throat—that moment of thinking you’ve lost everything and not being able to accept it. It was really emotional.”
Christina Ricci, Rob’s Bel Ami co-star, mentions in an interview that he’s amazing to work with, plus check out Bel Ami now up on the Berlinale programme.
Besides being busy with Pan Am, Ricci has finished filming the movie Bel Ami, which is based on French author Guy de Maupassant’s 1885 novel of the same name. Opening here on March 29, it also stars Uma Thurman, Robert Pattinson and Kristin Scott Thomas.
About Pattinson, Ricci would say only that the Twilight heart-throb, who plays the corrupt protagonist Georges Duroy, was an “amazing” guy to work with.
The Berlinale Programme is now online. Here is the ‘Bel Ami’ page.
