Unlike most actors, the English Robert Pattinson, 25 years of old, thinks sex scenes are easy. There are other things that are scarier: having to appear shirtless or doing comedy, especially in TV Shows like Saturday Night Live, as he told Epoca in two interviews: one as a roundtable and another exclusive one:
EPOCA – All actors say that sex scenes are very awkward to do, you always have a lot of people around. As you and Kristen know each other so well, was it easier?
Pattinson – Actually I don’t think doing sex scenes is weird. You know that nobody will say anything, the directors don’t want to embarrass themselves, they won’t tell you how to do it. But it’s fun to do them with Kristen, it seems kind of silly. In fact, it becomes more difficult. When you don’t know the other person you won’t say she’s doing something silly, or joke all the time. If you know the person, it’s more risky (laughs).
EPOCA – Kristen Stewart said the wedding scene was as if she were living it. How was it for you?
Pattinson – Kind of easy. Especially in the beginning. There was so much expectation because of the dress, paparazzi everywhere that Kristen was very stressed. As she was walking to the altar, and the camera approaching me, I started to get nervous because I saw how shocked she was. So I had to think that I needed to support her and act as if I knew what I was doing (laughs).
Breaking into his impish grin, Robert said about an actor in a much-anticipated scene in “Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” “I thought he was a real priest in the scene when we were getting married. He kept forgetting what our characters’ names were. He called us Robert and Kristen. She told me that he wasn’t a real priest.”
Asked how many beds were used in his bed-shaking sex scene with Kristen, Robert laughed and replied, “It was just one bed but it was a trick bed. It was unusual to do a sex scene when there’s a whole stunt set-up. There were three guys behind the bed who controlled the bed. I’m trying to do a sex scene and a guy is cueing me for when the bed breaks. I’m also looking at the big guy lying underneath, on the floor.”
He explained, “When you’re doing a sex scene, people don’t really give you that much pressure on the set because for one thing, a director doesn’t want to step in and suggest how he would do it (laughing). Because it’s probably uncomfortable for him, too.”
“I was protective of Kristen,” he admitted about filming the scene. “She is so much more comfortable with her body than I am. I was thinking, we must keep the sheet up in between takes. But that was really more for her. That was probably the scariest part – having to be judged by your physicality. I was trying to avoid that in the entire series.”
Robert did workouts to be in shape for the shirtless scenes. “Yeah, for a while,” he said. With a chuckle, he quipped, “But as soon as I didn’t have to take my shirt off, I stopped.”
He’s been named one of the world’s 100 most influential people but Robert Pattinson couldn’t look less conspicuous if he tried.
Lounging on a plush sofa at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, his white T-shirt features a tiny rip front and centre, his shoelaces are unlaced and his baseball cap is on backwards.
In short, he’s disarmingly understated and approachable, immediately offering a cheery hello that quickly reaches his blue-green eyes.
“I can’t wait for this film to come out,” he says of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1.
“I feel like we’ve been talking about it for months. Well, I have!”
He’s the first to admit that this movie is different from the previous three, which are also based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer.
It is the beginning of the end for the Twilight series, but for Robert Pattinson’s vampire, Edward, it is the happiest he has ever been. The vampire doesn’t sparkle once in this film, but he also doesn’t brood or mope. Sure, that may not be a selling point for those who love the moody vampire figure, but Pattinson seems okay with it. As Breaking Dawn part 1 approaches, Pattinson talks about how Edward has evolved and how he said goodbye.
You’ve been playing Edward Cullen for nearly five years. Can you describe the journey he has taken, and the journey you have taken with him?
Right from the beginning, I ignored the fact that he was a vampire; I ignored the fact that he was 108 years old, except for in sort of metaphorical senses. You are left with a troubled teenager with a very simple story of him finding contentment with himself. He gets content by finding a woman and having a child, which I guess is how a lot of guys balance themselves out. At least, that’s the hope anyway.
Director Bill Condon mentioned that there was this self-loathing that you told him you had been playing with for the first three movies, that had never really been presented as a plot element.
Yeah. I thought that would be the key ingredient to Edward’s character. He’s 108 years old, but he’s never achieved anything he wanted to achieve. He’s been stuck in adolescence. When you are in adolescence, you think nothing is fair – he’s been living with that for 100 years. You’d eventually get to the point of desperation. It is very difficult to portray that and a love story at the same time, unless you want to make a very different movie. So I was trying to push for that angle. Breaking Dawn is probably the happiest Edward has ever been in the whole series.
It’s his last interview of the day, and Pattinson looks exhausted “I’m about to pass out,” he says as he crashes on a couch. His exhorbitant fame would exhaust anyone. We still have to ait 1 year for the final movie, and that’s why Rob is now facing an emptiness that is waiting for him when the saga is over. He has two movies waiting for a release date, but as of now, the actor has no new projects lined up. He laughs, “I didn’t mean to take a break but…” aware that is strange how a star of his calibre has no work waiting fo him. There’s rumors that Hollywood doesn’t know what to do with him once Twilight is over. Pattinson doesn’t seem worried, and talks wisely about the whirlwind that is his life.
No more Edward Cullen. Do you feel liberated?
I’m nervous. These past few years it didn’t matter if I did a bad movie, I still had Twilight and I wasn’t worried.
And now you don’t have a safety net anymore.
Exactly, and that’s scary. I have to choose right. I’m the clumsiest person when it comes to making decisions.
