PAST: He started playing roles in plays because his father forced him and because his father thought that he’ll have more and better chance at girls. His ‘trip’ at Barnes Theatre Company turned more serious than he planned: Not only as model he has been discovered, but they saw his talent, too. After The Times saw him in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, they wrote ‘United Kingdom’s next big star, the next Jude Law’ about him. PRESENT: He got the big ‘break-out chance’ from the movie version of the novel of Stephenie Meyer. He played one of the leads of the movie: the vampire who’s between his instincts and emotions. FUTURE: He played the legendary artist Salvador Dalí in Little Ashes, and of course it couldn’t be that they give the role of Edward Cullen someone else in the next Twilight movie. And he doesn’t remiss the “harder” genres: he’s planning that he’ll play a lot of roles in theatres in the next year – but only in demanding movies with a role what’s hard to play. It seems he can allow himself to select.
Style.com published an interview with Noot Seear (pictured above) in which she speaks about Twilight and the craze surrounding Rob.Noot Seear is the one who will be playing Heidi in New Moon. You can find the rest of the interview here.
Had you read the Twilight books before you went out for the part?
No, actually. And even though the first movie had come out by the time I heard about the role, I still didn’t have a clear idea what a huge production this was and what an insane cult following it has. It didn’t quite hit me until Comic-Con. I mean, people slept outside overnight just to get a glimpse of the cast, and then, you know, we go into this auditorium, and screen a clip of the movie, and the fans are just screaming, like, the loudest noise I’ve ever heard. And the screaming would die down for a minute, and then Rob [Pattinson] would brush his hair out of his eyes or something, and that’s all it would take for the screaming to start up again.
Do you look at Robert Pattinson and think, yikes, that’s going to be my life in a few months?
I’m not sure it will be the same thing. My part is relatively small, and then I’m not coming back until the fourth film, so I’d like to think I can stay under-the-radar. All that fame, I mean, I know it’s something Rob has been struggling with, because it happened so quickly to him and in such a massive way. I like being able to walk down my street without being recognized, and I don’t like people knowing my business. So what I’d prefer, rather than go for some big blockbuster after this, is to build my career up slowly, with some indies, things like that. Good scripts, good directors. I’ve managed to have a lot of longevity as a model because I never got overexposed. I’m hoping I can have the same kind of career as an actress.
