You must not be very smart to understand this: generally speaking, there are fates worse than to become a poster-boy forced to hide from fans within the walls of five-star hotels scattered around the world. And Robert Pattinson seems that it is quite clever. But it also seems that, personally speaking, his fate has not taken the right way. He is young (in May will make 25 years), has a lot of money, success, a job, the actor, that half the world’s envy and, potentially, all women want. Yet we see from a mile away that is not happy. And the reason, I believe, lies in the fact that it is smart enough to understand that it is not so special. He stayed with his feet on the ground on the neck and head while all around him went mad. That makes him a good person, but horribly alone. I’ve met a few weeks ago to promote the film Like Water for elephants.
Born in London in a normal family – his mother worked in a modeling agency, her father selling old cars – thought to be a great deal of international relations. The part of Cedric in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came almost by accident, and the same for the role that would change his life: the vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight.
Water for Elephants is a romantic movie. “What attracted me is the historical period, the Great Depression, and the circus. It’s fascinating.” The fact remains that it is primarily the story of Jacob and Marlena. “;But even if at first you may think”; Now he arrives, he sees her likes her and run away together, but the story is more complex. Jacob does not want to take, it is only prepared to give. The best relationship that might exist. “
Could you have an affair with a married woman?
“Life is not black or white. There are married people who are togheter but they don’t marry , can we define it marriage? But there’;s one thing I never understood: why do people betray.”
He does not understand a behavior practiced by the majority of the population? “
“I understand the impulse, but not how you can maintain two long-standing relationships at the same time”. And though I realize that can happen to those who have children, I cannot undderstand young people who choose to have four girls at once. It must be a living hell, especially for the man.”
He doesn’t believe in betrayal. E in “love till death does not separate”, like in the movie?
“My parents met when my mom was 17 and my father 25, are still together and seem very happy. I grew up believing that we can be together all life. “
Interview extract, Vanity Fair will be in the italian newsstands on March 30
Wild animals, trains, dwarfs and acrobats. This is what Robert Pattinson’s life has turned into: a circus
It’s the time of the recession in the United States, during the 30’s in the XX century. The inhabitants of Weehaken, New Jersey, wear the clothes of the time: the men with hats, ties, suspenders and coats, the women with long flower print dresses; the children with crops and caps. The crowd maintains itself in expectation of the parade of the fabulous Benzini brothers’ circus, whose promotional posters announce it as “The most fabulous show on earth!” Everything would be perfect of the technicians and production team of a film was not walking on the same street, which break the illusion of a trip to the past.
This is the Water for Elephants set, film shot in the 20th Century Fox studios, in Los Angeles, under the direction of Fancis Lawrence (Constantine, 2005: I am Legend, 20007), and is one of the most anticipated productions of 2011 due to its appealing story of romance, based on Sara Gruen’s best seller (adapted by Richard LaGravensee), and above all for its stellar cast: Reese Witherspoon, Robert Patinson and Cristoph Waltz.
The story is centered on Jacob’s history (Pattinson), who, about to graduate as a veterinary, abandons his studies upon his parents deaths. Chance unites him t a traveling circus, where he will become sentimentally involved with Marlena (Witherspoon), star acrobat and wife to the abusive tamer August (Waltz), which will create a fiery love triangle.
Josh Benson: Can you explain Robert Pattinson to me, please?
Sara Vilkomerson: Oh well gee, where to begin! I guess we should start with Twilight. Are you familiar with it?
Josh: How about let’s assume I’m not totally up to speed on it. Just for the sake of this exercise, you understand.
Sara: Mmmhmmm, sure.
In my humble opinion there is an essential part of Twilight that girls go nuts for that has got a lot to do with the whole vampire, undying-love (literally!) stuff. Which is that the main character, Bella, considers herself clumsy and awkward and not particularly beautiful, which I think speaks to at least 90 percent of how girls felt in high school. And then the coolest, hottest, most unattainable boy in school picks her out as the object of his affection. This is heady heady crack-for-girls stuff already. So then they cast Robert Pattinson in the role.
Sara: Anyway, Robert Pattinson had the tough job of filling the shoes of a character that is described at length as being preternaturally good-looking, and he succeeded because, among other things, he happens to be preternaturally good looking. He just is.
And Twilight became a huge success. And now he can’t walk down the street without people asking him to bite them, which means he did a very, very good job. And now, three films later and with two more on the way, he has a tough road ahead getting people to forget about him as Edward Cullen but to see him as Robert Pattinson, the actor.
Josh: Given the fact that he is at this point kind of the embodiment of vampiretainment, is it not slightly unrealistic to expect that people are going to stop asking him to bite them anytime soon?
Sara: If this is a delicate way of asking me if I asked him to bite me during our interview, let me state clearly for the record that I did not.
Josh: Phew. What about people who are less professional than you are, though?
Sara: I think he must get it a lot. Which must be one of those things that is hilarious the first three times but not at all the next 3,000 or so. The next two Twilight movies, Breaking Dawn 1 and 2, come out this November and next November. So he’ll be living with the Edward Cullen stuff till after that. And then … who knows? I hope for his sake it stops!
Josh: He described that enduring recognition for a certain thing as the “horrible” aspect of being part of a franchise.
What’s the textbook career-management example for an actor who goes on to become much more Serious than his breakout role? Can Twilight end up being Pattinson’s “21 Jump Street”?
Here are all the scans of Style Magazine – Italy: the complete article with Robert Pattinson including a NEW Water for Elephants still. You’ll find the interview after the jump.
Then it’s on to David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis with Robert Pattinson. Are you ready for R-Pat’s fans? They’re pretty loud.
When a friend of mine heard I was doing this movie, and he was in it, she completely freaked out. But I’m just so blissfully unaware of this stuff, I wasn’t even taking in the fact that it’s the Twilight guy.
In his upcoming film, the 1930s period drama “Water for Elephants,” based on Sara Gruen’s best-selling novel of the same name, Robert Pattinson begins to show new depth and range as an actor. Plus, his hair looks really, really different.
Much like his career, RPattz’s hair is evolving. So, when MTV News sat down with the star for “MTV First: Robert Pattinson,” it seemed like the perfect time to reflect on the diverse coifs that have sent his follicle-obsessed fans into a frenzy.
From his “Twilight”-appropriate ‘dos such as “The Wavy Forest” and “The Cullen Pouf” to the self-explanatory “Windswept ‘What the F—‘ ” to the more subdued and serious looks like “Controlled Chaos” and “Clean & Cut but Hold the Shave,” Pattinson took a trip down memory lane of the many haircuts he’s rocked.
“I always like … the ‘Forest’ thing,” he said. Turns out, that particular hair style carried him through what he describes as the “unemployable” phase of his career. While attending the Los Angeles premiere of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” in 2007, Pattinson admitted to looking rather, well, unkempt.
“I walked down Hollywood Boulevard to Grauman’s [Chinese Theater] and had to walk through the crowd and stuff,” recalled the 24-year-old star who was not yet famous, adding, “I was so hungover and so bloated, and some of the pictures are just so funny. It literally looks like someone just found a homeless person and just put them on [the red carpet]. … It was so ridiculous.”
So, what is it that helps the star maintain that tousled, albeit sometimes homeless-looking hair? Courtesy of his “Twilight” co-star Ashley Greene, we asked RPattz what brand of shampoo he uses: “I use dog shampoo,” he joked. In reality, he, like so many other sexy slacker types before him, simply uses, “Whatever is around.”
But, the question remained: Would Pattinson ever rock the oh-so-sought-after Justin Bieber ‘do? Despite rumors that he and his fellow heartthrob had discussed their hair together (“I never met this guy!” Pattinson told MTV), the actor was somewhat willing to take on the side-swept style. After laughing about the idea of sporting “The Bieber,” RPattz quipped that instead he’d wear “a Bieber hat.”
