Gossip Cop Debunks Tom Sturridge Interview 9 comments
When we saw the alleged interview with Tom Sturridge this week we immediately knew something was off and we didn’t believe it for a second (hence the fact why we didn’t post it). I contacted Gossip Cop so he could debunk it. Here’s the post he made today. Since this interview has been put out pretty much everywhere over the internet I think it’s a good idea that we post this to clear the air.
From Gossip Cop:
Among the hoaxes regarding Robert Pattinson this week (including vile reports of his “death”) were several rumors about theTwilight star’s sexuality. While most of these stories were easily ID’d as April Fools fabrications, one stubborn version that keeps hitting our tip line concerns an “interview” Pattinson’s pal Tom Sturridge supposedly gave.
Originating on a user-generated portion of PopSugar, the purported Q&A touches upon Sturridge’s upcoming Waiting For Forever (with Rachel Bilson) and his work on last year’sPirate Radio.
But the portion grabbing eyes is wedged in the middle, after the interviewer asks suddenly about Sturridge’s friendship with Pattinson.
Explaining that he’s known Pattinson since school and lived with him for a while, Sturridge then supposedly says, “We’ve been friends and more for what feels like our whole lives” before growing uncomfortable and “hurriedly” amending his previous statement with, “I mean, we are friends.”
Pressed about their relationship, Sturridge pauses before allegedly responding, “I really don’t want to talk about [Pattinson]. It’s just weird, you know? I want to respect his privacy, since he doesn’t have much of it anymore. I mean, I’d do the same for any of my friends.”
And then, just as abruptly as the “interview” veered into Pattinson territory, it switches immediately to a professional question about Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Here’s the problem.
Even though the “interview” comes from an unknown author on a user-generated platform and some outlets treated it as a possible April Fools’ Day joke (it circulated on April 1, after all),other outlets — probably because the film-oriented content does mirror previous Sturridge discussions — ran the Q&A as though it’s a recent, legitimate chat containing the intimation that Pattinson and Sturridge have been involved romantically.
But it’s not, and it doesn’t.
Sturridge’s other comments, about work, are very similar to what he’s said elsewhere.
And he has talked about knowing Pattinson forever and living with him, but talk of protecting Pattinson’s “privacy” has referred explicitly to Sturridge not wanting to putting even more media glare on his good friend.
It has nothing to do with any kind of relationship between the two.
Gossip Cop doubts the veracity of any of the “interview,” and is trying to gauge how much of it is “real,” but lifted from other sources. We contacted the PopSugar user multiple times but received no response to our inquiries.
One thing that is certain — Sturridge never gave any interviewer any indication that Pattinson harbored a sexuality bombshell.

IndieLondon's Interview With Robert Pattinson 1 comment
From IndieLondon
ROBERT Pattinson talks about his new film, Remember Me, what appealed about the character of Tyler, the themes of the movie and working with Pierce Brosnan as his father.
He also talks about how he chooses projects outside of the Twilight movies and why brooding is a new term for him…
Q. What did you like about the script when you were approached?
Robert Pattinson: I’d read tons of scripts over the summer, after I didTwilight – I mean hundreds… and everything just seemed exactly the same. This one initially stood out in the way the dialogue was written – it just seemed much more naturalistic than most things. Tyler as a character – it seems that most movies which have a young male protagonist as the lead have to be either a virgin, or have to learn everything during the movie, or they always go through the trials of the movie and end up a different person and they’re completely fine afterwards. But Tyler starts off with a lot of baggage and a very full and developed character, and ends up being developed in a slightly different way, rather than: “Oh I’m fine now!” You just never see that in films very much, especially for young people’s parts.
Q. How was working with Pierce Brosnan as your father?
Robert Pattinson: I never ever would have thought initially it would have been someone like Pierce playing Charles. I think he has an innate likeability to him, as soon as you meet him he’s very, very charismatic. Charles, on the page, was someone who’s very domineering and quite a negative character, and Pierce just by being Pierce can change the whole dynamic of it, which made for a much for interesting relationship. He’s a really nice guy.
Q. You’re very sweet with the young girl playing your sister. It seems like a very natural relationship. Tell us about how you made it seem that way?
Robert Pattinson: It’s all down to Ruby Jerins, who plays her. I don’t have any younger brothers or sisters… I’ve got two older sisters. I kind of think I always wanted a younger sibling – not that I have anything against my sisters [laughs]. But she’s just one of the best actresses I’ve ever worked with. She’s surprisingly articulate about her character. When I first met her, she seemed like a very, very normal kid, and then the more she talked about her character’s development, she could talk about it for hours. And she could also improvise for hours and was so comfortable in front of a camera and working with adults. It was very easy to do anything with her. You could just look at her and know what to do immediately.
Q. At what point did you realise you could use your powers for good and through your success help finance movies like this? And what pressures are there on you to make other stuff that might earn more money but be less satisfying?
Robert Pattinson: I never like anything, so it’s quite easy to decide what to do – even movies I’m not in [laughs]! I’ve never felt any pressure to do anything, particularly. Even when we were shooting it, I never thought about the box office… it’s only when it came to promoting it that you’re asked about that stuff. Obviously, it’s not like a Twilight movie, it’s an original screenplay, and it doesn’t fit into any genre… it’s not really that much of a feel-good movie. They don’t make movies like it anymore. I think that’s how I kind of choose stuff. That’s the only criteria I really have. If there seems to be a gap in the market for something, then I try and do that. I’m trying to do that with all the other things I’m doing afterwards.
Q. How were you with the New York accent?
Robert Pattinson: I think it just came out of the script. I pretty much had the same voice from the first time I read the script to the whole way through the movie. Sometimes when you’re lucky, you just read a script and the voice comes out right. I wasn’t even conscious of doing a New York accent – I don’t even know what borough or anything! I’ve spent a bit of time in New York, and just tried to pick up on how people speak. But I don’t know where my accent is now – I wouldn’t say I’ve specifically got a London accent anymore.
Q. Your character has a buddy, Aiden, who becomes increasingly important to him. Do you have a real-life equivalent – a male buddy? And your sister in the movie regards your character as a hero to protect her – do you have a hero?
Robert Pattinson: I’ve grown up with the same friends since I was 12. I have a very, very close-knit set of them. As for the hero – I think I’m always kind envious of that. I grew up with people that a lot of other people regarded as heroes, but no-one ever kind to me for advice or protection – so I think I’ve been left out as a hero! As regards my own heroes, outside of my family I don’t really know… they are great people, my parents are great parents and they brought me up very well. I think that’s about all the heroes I have.
Q. How important is the reaction of your fans to this, being such a different, more low-key project to Twilight?
Robert Pattinson: I always felt it’s the most important thing you can do, doing films like this, which are quite difficult, I would have thought, to just generically advertise and get out to people. Having something like Twilightand Lost gives it publicity immediately. So, if people go to see it… once you’ve got them into the cinema, then it’s almost inevitable that they’ll get drawn into it, hopefully. Obviously, you hope people like things, but if you start doing stuff to please a certain audience then you’re going in the wrong direction – because you can never please people by deciding for them, you don’t even know the people you’re trying to please… especially when you’re trying to please huge swathes of people!
Q. What is it that attracts you to deep and brooding types like Tyler and Edward, and might you do a comedy?
Robert Pattinson: I did do lighter stuff before Twilight came out. It just so happened that Twilight has become so much about this archetypal, brooding person. I never thought Tyler was that brooding, to be honest! I never even heard the word before Twilight. I guess you like to play broken, troubled characters because that’s more interesting, especially because I’m not particularly broken or troubled myself. I’m doing something now which is still quite dark but the character isn’t so fractured… it’s someone who is incredibly focused and has a lot of confidence in himself. Nothing can shake his confidence. After that, I think there’s a lighter thing as well. It’s not really that they’re angsty… joy seems to be a universal emotion but in scripts, it’s quite difficult – if you’re happy, you’re happy.
Q. Can you talk about the progression of your character – did you always have a clear view of how you were going to play him?
Robert Pattinson: Well, the script changed so much over seven months, and had lots of re-writes. I spoke a lot to Nick and Alan [Coulter], the director, and the writers, Will and Jenny. I tried to tailor things to what I was interested in. The relationship with the Dad changed quite a lot… because I thought, when you’re a young guy, one of your biggest fears, is an irrational fear of walking in your dad’s footsteps and living the same life as him.
Even if your dad’s a good guy, you just want to assert your independence on everything and that causes irrational rages. It developed into something quite different and specific from the first reading. But I always feel pretty connected to it. I thought it was a great template from the beginning. The other thing that was interesting about it was how it dealt with grief. Tyler doesn’t deal with grief in the typical way. Dealing with sorrow is a noble emotion and grief when your young can be very cheap in a lot of ways… and I thought that was quite interesting how Tyler does want to forget about his past.
Q. Tyler is quite an angry, punchy young man. How did you psyche yourself up for the fight scenes, and have you ever been in a fight?
Robert Pattinson: I haven’t been in a fight for quite a long time. I’m too scared now. I think if I got into a fight now, I’d go: “Just kill me!” I liked a lot of Tyler’s character, the rebelliousness and the audaciousness of it, because it’s kind of like a fantasy of myself. Like: “I’m the type of guy who just randomly gets into fights… getting into them all the time.” I’m not really.
Q. How was fighting Chris Cooper?
Robert Pattinson: Chris Cooper is unbelievably strong… he’s terrifying! Also, the fight I had at the beginning, I was doing it with the big stunt guy and I was hitting a thing next to his head, and hit him with what I thought was my full strength, I hit his face about four times, and every time I was going: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” And he said, “It’s fine, it doesn’t really hurt.” That was kind of an ego-deflater.
Q. When an Australian and a Brit working together did it provide the backdrop for a shared sense of humour?
Robert Pattinson: On the day of the audition, when Emilie got the part, we went to a bar afterwards, and I swear Emily, who’s the tiniest girl, drank about 24 beers and was stone-cold sober afterwards! I thought… this is different, this is something for the character!

Robert Pattinson: Out of the vampire's shadow 1 comment
As Hollywood’s hottest property, Robert Pattinson doesn’t need to sit around waiting for the phone to ring.
Sifting through a mountain of scripts and trying to navigate a satisfying career path, while everyone wants a piece of him, will be a more familiar scenario.
With the whole world watching his every move, how did the star of the Twilight films decide to follow the smash hit New Moon with humble independent movie Remember Me?
Fairly easily, it turns out.
“I never like anything, so it’s quite easy to decide what to do,” he admits, candidly.
“I’ve never felt any pressure to do anything, particularly. Even when we were shooting it I never thought about the box office.”
It may be far from his mind, but Pattinson, known as R-Patz to his adoring fans, is certainly box office-friendly. Propelled to stardom as the pale and mysterious vampire Edward Cullen, he now inspires hysteria whenever he steps out in public.
Today is no exception, and journalists preparing to grill him about his latest release have had to wait patiently as he works the red carpet outside the film’s premiere in London’s Leicester Square, signing autograph after autograph for overwhelmed fans.
In person, he is undeniably good looking, with a striking bone structure, tousled hair and cheeks decidedly rosier than those of his vampire alter ego.
He is also rather self-deprecating, and has a tendency to backtrack and correct himself while he’s speaking. Even so, he seems to know his own mind when it comes to career choices.
“I had read tonnes and tonnes of scripts over the summer after I did Twilight, I mean hundreds, and everything seemed exactly the same.
“But this one, the way the dialogue was written, it just seemed much more naturalistic than most things,” he says.
“It’s not really a feel-good movie. They don’t make movies like it anymore, I think that’s how I kind of choose stuff, that’s the only criteria I have. There seems to be a gap in the market for something and I just try and do that.”
Remember Me is about as far away as you can get from the fantastical world of vampires and werewolves that Pattinson is best known for.
Set in New York, it stars the 23-year-old as Tyler Hawkins, a handsome and somewhat lost young man, who is going through life in the aftermath of his brother’s suicide.
Tyler meets and falls in love Ally Craig, played by Lost’s Emilie de Ravin, a kindred spirit whose life has also been marked by family tragedy.
The film is set in 2001, the significance of which emerges later in the movie.
Although, in his own words, Tyler “starts off with a lot of baggage”, Pattinson rejects suggestions that he’s always drawn to playing the “brooding” types.
“I did do the kind of lighter stuff before Twilight came out and it just so happened that Twilight became so much about him being an archetypal brooding person,” he insists.
“I never thought Tyler was that brooding,” he laughs.
“I hadn’t even heard the word before Twilight. I guess you like to play broken troubled characters because it seems more interesting, especially because I’m not particularly broken and troubled myself.”
As well as being a love story, which features scenes racier than Twilight fans will be used to seeing their heartthrob in, Remember Me is the tale of Tyler’s frustrations with his father Charles, a wealthy and powerful businessman played by Pierce Brosnan.
Pattinson is full of praise for his “very, very charming” screen dad.
“As soon as you meet him he’s very, very charismatic and Charles on the page is someone who’s very domineering and quite a negative character.
“Pierce, just by being Pierce, kind of changed all that, which was great and made it a much more interesting relationship.”
Tyler also has a touching relationship with his 11-year-old sister Caroline, played by Ruby Jerins.
Although he only has two older sisters himself (“I think I always wanted a younger sibling – not that I have anything against my sisters!”), Pattinson credits the young actress for making their closeness believable.
“It’s very easy to do anything with her. You just look at her and you know what to do immediately.”
Tyler gets into a few punch-ups in the film, clashing on more than one occasion with Ally’s dad, played by Adaptation’s Chris Cooper.
But Pattinson is typically self-effacing when describing his scenes with “a big stunt guy”.
“I hit with what I thought was my full strength. I hit his face about four times. And every time I was like ’I’m sorry, I’m sorry’ and he was like ’it’s fine. It didn’t really hurt.’ That was kind of an ego deflator.”
He admits he hasn’t been in a fight in real life “for a long time”.
“I’m too scared. I think if I got into a fight now someone would just kill me,” he says, prompting laughter from the room.
“I liked a lot of the rebelliousness and audacity of the character. It was kind of a fantasy of myself. Like ’Yeah, I’m the type of guy who randomly gets into fights. I do it all the time’.”
“I don’t. I’m not really,” he quickly adds.
Pattinson was first linked to Remember Me before he was a household name, and the film’s producers are thankful his new-found stardom didn’t turn him off the project.
In fact, an executive producer credit for the actor is testament to his passion for the movie.
Judging by the hordes of screaming girls who turned out to catch a glimpse of the heartthrob at the premiere, the film has a ready-made audience in Twilight’s huge fanbase.
And while Pattinson acknowledges his previous work, and that of de Ravin, will attract more publicity for the film, he refuses to worry about how fans will receive it.
“Obviously you hope people like things but I think if you start doing stuff to please a certain audience then you’re going in the wrong direction,” he says.
“I mean, you don’t even know the people you’re trying to please, especially if you’re trying to please whole swathes of people.”
He laughs before adding: “I hope they like it.”
Remember Me is released on Friday April 2
EXTRA TIME – ROBERT PATTINSON
Robert Pattinson started acting in local drama group, the Barnes Theatre Club, where he took part in a production of Tess of the d’Urbervilles.
He played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire.
In Remember Me, he found his American accent came easily from just reading the script, although he didn’t consciously affect a New York one. “I’ve spent a bit of time in New York and just try and pick up on how people speak,” he says. “I don’t know where my accent is now. I wouldn’t say I had a specific London accent any more.”
He has a “very, very close knit” set of friends, the same ones he’s had since he was 12.
He has no particular heroes other than his family. “They’re great people and my parents are great parents and they brought me up very well, I think. That’s about all the heroes I’ve had.

Pierce Brosnan Impressed by Fan-Magnet Robert Pattinson 1 comment
Pierce Brosnan has revealed his ‘Remember Me’ co-star Robert Pattinson was pursued by beautiful girls on set every day.
The former James Bond star – who plays Robert’s estranged father in the gripping family drama – had to make do with older admirers while the 23-year-old heartthrob soaked up the attention of screaming teenagers.
Pierce, who shot the movie with Robert in New York, told Empire magazine: “I remember being outside the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. We were shooting in the Oak Room and there were 2,000 girls out there from 12 to 21. Actually, there were some gorgeous looking girls out there, but they weren’t around my caravan. I had the mothers at my end and some beauties there were too! But it was very sedate by my end of the motor homes. I’d walk out and get a hearty cheer. I’d trip up the steps of the Plaza feeling very good with myself that I still have the juice. But as I’d be walking down the corridors into the Plaza I would hear this wave, this cacophony of sound as girls clamoured for Robert. His girls go through the rafters for him.”
The 56-year-old star thinks Robert – who has become an international heartthrob after playing vampire Edward Cullen in the ‘Twilight’ movies – will be able to handle his enormous fame, but he personally finds it almost incomprehensible.
He added: “I never experienced anything like that as a young man of 23. I’m sure he’ll weather the waters swimmingly. He’s a grand lad and I wish him well in every way.”
Preview of Ben Shepard's Interview with Robert Pattinson 1 comment
Here’s a preview of Ben Shepard’s Interview with Robert Pattinson. The interview will air on GMTV on Monday between 7 and 8:35am UK Time.
From the Belfast Telegraph:
Robert Pattinson has revealed that he would love to star in a romantic comedy.
The Twilight star fancies hiding away his vampire fangs for something more light-hearted, but claimed he hasn’t found anything perfect.
“I’d love to, but they are always just so rubbish – I mean like, I’d absolutely love to do it, but I’ve literally never read a good rom-com script,” he told GMTV in an interview airing on March 29.
Robert, who stars in Remember Me with Pierce Brosnan and Emilie de Ravin, reckoned there’s too much competition to be a romantic comedy king like Hugh Grant.
“I think it’s such a typical career choice for me, as well, to be honest,” he continued.
“If you do a big franchise thing – especially for English guys – you try and do a Hugh Grant part or something. Which I don’t think would be the best idea for me… mainly because it’s quite difficult to be Hugh Grant!”
:: Remember Me is released in cinemas on April 2.
