Another Brit in a Stephenie Meyer film adaption – do you feel like you’re following in Robert Pattinson’s footsteps?
That’s not for me to say. I think Robert’s very lucky in that he’s going to continue to have a very good career, and I know he’s doing a lot of good projets. You know, Twilight was a phenomenon in and of itself, and I don’t think anything is going to be like it. The Host is very different from Twilight. I don’t think anything or anyone can recreate that film

Max Irons talks about being compared to Robert Pattinson with Inquirer.
On being touted as the next Robert Pattinson or being compared to the “Twilight” actor, Max remarked, “There are two sides to every coin. He’s lost a lot of personal freedom. His life is under a microscope. But then again, he’s working on a great movie called ‘The Rover’ at the moment. He has worked with David Cronenberg (‘Cosmopolis’). He’s going to work with him again (‘Maps to the Stars’). That’s all you want as an actor—to keep working with good directors, scripts and actors. The success of ‘Twilight’ has afforded him that privilege. We should all be so lucky.”
“I can probably name 10 actors who’ve been compared to Robert Pattinson,” Irons said at the film’s Hollywood premiere. “So it’s an honor — I think he’s doing very well for himself, he’s got some amazing projects coming out — so it’s a bit of an honor, but I think everyone’s an individual. But it’s nice to be likened to him.”
As for the notion that all up-and-coming British actors in Hollywood hang out together, he joked, “We do. England’s a very small country. We all live together. We all know each other. We all know the Queen.”

The Host is very much in the same vein as Twilight, and there’s clearly a huge fan base out there. But I can’t imagine myself being as huge as Robert Pattinson. I’m not sure I could handle that level of fame.

A star whose style I love is…
Robert Pattinson. He’s brought a distinct perspective to tailoring to the red carpet. And he’s so dashing!
Can you become the next Robert Pattinson?
Max: “It is a very lazy comparison, because Twilight was a phenomenon unto itself. Pattinson was chased down the streets of Paris before the films even came out. And he is doing well for himself. He has about five films with acclaimed directors lined up.
Jake: “A lot of people expect us to knock the Twilight cast. But Taylor Lautner is a really nice kid. Robert Pattinson, I couldn’t imagine the tremendous amount of pressure he was under — and he earned my respect when I saw him fight for certain projects. Water for Elephants is a great novel, the movie is what it was. That’s not his fault. That’s the risk; we’re the face of projects.”

From Shropshirestar:
Irons: R-Patz ‘gifted and cursed’
Max Irons may be being compared to Robert Pattinson but the Red Riding Hood star reckons R-Patz has been “gifted and cursed” with fame.
The son of acting couple Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack hit the red carpet in Hollywood to premiere the new thriller in which he plays Amanda Seyfried’s love interest.
Having been cast and directed in the movie by Twilight’s Catherine Hardwicke, Max confessed he takes any Pattinson comparisons as a compliment.
“Well Robert’s a lovely actor, [but] this is a different beast to the film that shall not be named!” he joked, before adding: “You know, I think he’s been gifted and cursed.”
The 25-year-old explained: “All you want to be able to do as an actor is work and to be able to focus on the work. For lack of a better term, the celebrity is consequential and all you should be doing is focusing on the quality of your work and kind of, I think, ignoring the rest of it.
“If I can do that and have a long, long career and not a short, short career that’s all I want.
“Robert by the way is going to have a long, long career,” Max added. “I have a feeling about that… because he’s English!”
