Rob talks about Water for Elephants, working with Oscar winners and animals, meeting Tai, filming the love scene with Reese, living in hotels for 3 years, wanting to be a hobo, what he misses the most about London, his friends, where he wants to live, how to avoid paparazzi. And the cutest “off camera moment” in the end.
Ok, we admit it. We were just ever so slightly giddy at the thought of meeting Robert Pattinson at the London premiere of his new movie Water For Elephants. Actually, that might be just the teeniest bit of an understatement. We can confirm that he was every bit the gentleman we hoped he would be and even better looking in the flesh (if that’s possible). Yep, we got it bad. Find out what he had to say about the film plus what he thought of the Royal Wedding in our exclusive video (above). We also caught up with the likes of Marvin JLS, Rochelle from the Saturdays and the camptastic Harry from TOWIE who all revealed who their fantasy big screen co-star would be.
Robert Pattinson says he prefers making romantic comedies over CGI films because “they’re incredibly boring to make”.
Speaking ahead of the release of his new movie Water For Elephants, the British actor told Newsbeat that he’d much rather do romcoms.
“If you want to do big movies you have to do either big action explosion movies or you do romances because they’re the only things that get made,” he said.
“I think romances allow you to develop a character more. I hate working with computerised stuff. It’s incredibly boring.”
‘Boring to do’
Pattinson, who rose to fame after playing the role of vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, also had a dig at action films saying although he likes watching them, they’re boring to make.
Robert Pattinson on choosing to make Water For Elephants
He said: “If they’re just well written [I’d consider an action movie] but it’s not good writing most of the time.
“I enjoy watching them but it would be boring to do. You’ve basically got to do it if you want to be famous.”In Water For Elephants, the 24-year-old British actor plays a vet who runs away with a circus and falls in love with one of the performers, played by Reese Witherspoon.
He admitted that he decided to do the film after meeting the elephant used in the production.
“I met the elephant before I accepted the movie and before I’d read the script,” he said “It really was [the deal breaker].
Breaking Dawn
“I remember going home in the car waiting to read the script and I was like, ‘Please, please be good.’
“I’d basically already decided to do the movie not knowing anything about it just because I got on really well with the elephant and thought it was really fun.”
The actor also revealed that filming for the final Twilight films, Breaking Dawn parts one and two, has now finished.
“I’m sure we will have to do something,” he said. “We finished a week and a half ago. All done.
“Yeah, she (Kristen Stewart) loved that [wedding] scene. It’s a very girly scene.
“I do quite a few scenes with a baby and that’s quite odd. It’s so different in those movies because we were doing it with a real baby. But it was fun.”
