ROBERT Pattinson admits he DIDN’T want to star in the Twilight movies.

The British actor — who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the smash hit film franchise — says he was keen to perfect his craft before taking part in such a high-profile project.

“At first I didn’t want to do a movie like Twilight,” he said. “I specifically hadn’t done anything that anyone would see since Harry Potter, because I wanted to teach myself how to act. I didn’t want to be an idiot. I was going to wait for another year to do two or three more little things and then do something bigger.

“Twilight came kind of randomly. It was a chance and, as I didn’t have a reputation at all, there was nothing for me to lose.”

“The producers actually asked me to take my shirt off at the audition,” R-Patz recalled. “I thought, if that’s the criteria, then you’ve got the wrong guy. I knew about the audition five months beforehand, but I didn’t want to bother getting a six-pack or doing much else at all in preparation — but looking back, I might have combed my hair. I thought that I had to be this bland guy with his shirt off who people just project ideas onto. At first I thought to play Edward in an interesting way was totally impossible.

“There was a lot of debate about the make-up I wore in the film, as at first it looked ridiculous, because I’m already quite pale with dark eyebrows. I didn’t even think of make-up when I got the part, and I wasn’t too involved in any of the decisions. I was more of a victim.’

Pattinson — who’s rumored to be dating his costar Kristen Stewart — admits that while he liked his character in the first instalment of Twilight, it was only in New Moon that he really warmed to the role.

“I understood Edward much more in the second one than in the first,” he said. “New Moon is about his being compelled to do the wrong thing, and I understand that a lot — especially when it comes to relationships.

“Edward makes a mistake in New Moon that’s acknowledged by everybody, including himself. He’s totally undermined physically and emotionally and so is much more humanised. In the first one, he’s still an idealistic character from beginning to end.

“In New Moon, he’s more the hero of the story who refuses to accept that he’s the hero. I think that’s kind of admirable. Once you’re immune to failure, nothing matters. I saw that after being the hot thing for a few months after Harry Potter; it calms down until no one cares. It helps knowing that pretty soon, no one will care.’

Natalia Tena talks nudity in Bel Ami
Belamifilm.com recently stumbled across a revealing MySpace post from Natalia Tena. While lamenting on her struggle to quit smoking Natalia, who portrays the prostitute Rachel in Bel Ami, muses about her nudity in the film and her upcoming filming schedule. On February 24th she posted the following on her official MySpace page, she states:
“I start Bel Ami in less than 2 weeks, slightly nervous especially seeing as you’ll see my naked cleavage, which by then, might have sagged irrevocably.”
According to her comment, this would mean Natalia is scheduled to start work on her Bel Ami scenes any day now. I have two words for you “wall sex” hella yeah!

@BelAmiMovie
Bel Ami filming moves from London to Budapest week after Easter. It has been confirmed that filming will wrap in Budapest on April 20.

UK Premiere for Remember Me 17 March 2010
We have FIVE pairs of tickets to give away to the premiere of Robert Pattinson’s new movie Remember Me, taking place at the Odeon Leicester Square on Wednesday 17 March.
Remember Me is the story of Tyler (Robert Pattinson) is a rebellious young man living in New York City who has lost his way ever since a family tragedy. After meeting kindred spirit Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate, life begins to look much better but the circumstances that brought them together threaten to tear them apart. An unforgettable love story, Remember Me is directed by Allan Coulter (Hollywoodland) and also stars Pierce Brosnan, Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation), Academy Award® nominee Lena Olin (Chocolat) and introduces Ruby Jerins (Nurse Jackie).

Full Interview With E! Online - 'Remember Me' Press Junket
VIDEO

Teen Hollywood Interviews Emilie - She talks about Rob and the "love scenes"
TeenHollywood: Okay, obvious question. How did you like working with "the heartthrob"?
Emilie (laughs): Is that his new name? It was great, we get along really well, had a really fun time, also just sort of shared the same amount of passion for this film and everything felt very natural and unforced. On set, we spend a lot of time beforehand and during just going through the lines and talking about the characters and maybe things we hadn’t noticed and talking and developing a relationship, and also just getting to know each other as people, so it was that comfort level too, which I think helps a lot.
On set it didn’t feel ever like we were actually reading a scene, it just felt like we were talking and I was listening to him, and observing and reacting however Ally would, so that was pretty cool and doesn’t really happen a lot.
TeenHollywood: You mentioned paparazzi and barricades. You are an established actress with plenty of fans of your own but how does it feel to be suddenly thrust into the spotlight when your leading man is one of the most popular young male stars today?
Emilie: I don’t know, in general I’m just really just excited about this film and passionate about it, so I guess whatever comes with that is good. It’s nice to be promoting something that I genuinely love.
TeenHollywood: And the love scenes.....?
Emilie: Ah, yes. Me and Zeus
TeenHollywood: There had to be screaming, fainting female fans around.
Emilie: Really, fainting? So they have to have medics at the theatres now? That’s hilarious. As I was saying before, everything with us in every way was just very natural and calm, partially obviously to do with us getting along and we worked on things and just had a very good comfort level.
But, also our director Allen (Coulter) kept everything just so together and calm and you always felt comfortable. He did an amazing job on the film, but also just an amazing job interacting with people, and talking to people and letting everyone know what’s going on, and taking that time if you wanted to talk about a scene, nothing was like, ‘Oh, no time for that,’ There was always time.
TeenHollywood: Both you and Rob were dealing with the issue of violence in this film. Coming into the project, did you feel that the lasting impression this role has left on you (is violence)?
Emilie: Well, Ally's attitude is just really not being fearful of life and no matter what’s happened you can’t change the past. Not to forget the past, but not to live in the past. And I think she learns this even more through Tyler in that respect. I think she already had the attitude of living every day to its fullest and really appreciated life and she was stepping back and realizing and loving the people around her.
So I guess that’s left an impression on me. Life these days is so go-go-go-go-go, I think a lot of us forget to stop for a second and just appreciate the people around you, your loved ones, and just life.

TŁUMACZENIE:

How would you like to be remembered?

(laughs) I don't know, the only thing I can think about is that I feel bad about my family. I really don't know how I'd like to be remembered. Sometimes, I wish I wasn't remembered at all, just forgotten.

You said in Cannes that Remember Me is the most personal movie you ever made and that you were playing yourself. Can you talk about that?

I said that before I made the movie. I was working in pre-production and the movie changed a lot. In fact, I was trying to bring the character closer to me, but as filming developed, the it became very different.

What changed?

What initially brought me to the part was the fact he wasn't a common young character. In almost all movies, the "good guy" is idealized, what is not the reality. They're the -cliche of a character or a stereotype. Tyler is not like that. I think there was a blank screen and I was trying to make him more complex.

Your character is a "rebel". Do you think you are like him?

I dont think he's a rebel. Maybe sometimes he does things in some situations - like when he goes to his sister's school and confronts the people that attacked her - that I would do if it had happened to me. But I also think he's much more carefree than me.

You didnt go through tough times like your character, in your early 20s. That usually is a complicated time in life when you're confused...

I tried to play this from a point of view of when you first start your adolescence and stay too focused on being individualistic. You make it a point to stamp your individuality into something, not accepting to just be part of the world. I think there's a time in your twenties where people start to think that it's okay to be part of the world. That's what I felt when I was 22. When I was younger, I had this obsession that everything I was feeling was false.

How so?

When you're sad you aren't really sad. You're just pretending to yourself.

When Tyler and Ally (Emilie de Ravin) first meet, he's very persistent. Are you like that with girls too?

(laughs) No, not at all. Sometimes, depends on who the person is. Usually it doesn't work for me, I'm not good in those things. I barely can remember the last time I asked a girl out, that I told her I wanted to go on a date with her. I think I never did that. I think I'm different from Tyler in that way.

What do you do when a girl doesn't want to go out with you, like in the movie?

I say: "Do you have any idea how many girls would want to go out with me, you idiot" (laughs)

Are you single now?

(laughs)

You're THE guy right now. Everyone talks about Robert Pattinson. Do you get paranoid or do you like that?

I wish I could control that, but it's impossible. I'm always on a dilemma. It's nice, sometimes, because I end up doing movies like this, where I'm involved with it from the beginning to the end. Many actors don't have the chance to do that. That was great for me, but I get paranoid too.

Leonardo DiCaprio used to make small independent movies, then he made Romeo+Juliet and Titanic, that became one of the biggest movies of all time. He said that another version of him appeared, the one that the media created. Later, he revealed that he had to wait "that monster die" to get back to his career. What do you think of that?

He was nominated for an Oscar when he was really young and always wanted to be an actor. It's a little different with me. I was making independent movies. I think I feel some of the things he said and the most annoying thing about all the attention is that I can't really learn. The process of learning, as an actor, decreases, cause you can't do, without jugdement, things that people don't wanna watch and small roles. That's what creates much more pressure, that goes completely against you. There are only negative things that come with being pressured when you're trying to act.

Do you feel pressured?

Yes. It's weird. There were a lot of expectations on me on the set. It wasn't so bad, I knew I was making a small movie, but what worries me is how people will undertand my choice. The only thing to do is hope that people will watch the movie, like any other movie without preconseived notions.

What kind of reviews made you upset in the past?

I didn't like the way people talked about "New Moon", because I think I was judged for being part of a franchise. When something is so hyped, it's inevitable to have this movement against it, and I think the criticisms came in this context. I think Chris Weitz is an incredible director and I really liked the movie. I've been very lucky, but unfortunately, people jugde what's currently mainstream.

What is the weirdest thing you ever read about yourself?

Sometimes, when I'm going to do interviews, I check what people have been writing. I remember once a magazine said I was pregnant. It was on the cover.

If you had 2 hours to be a non famous person, what would you do?

Nothing, actually. It’s weird to go back to London because there I can walk around and do normal things. It took me a while to notice that. If I had noticed that sooner I would’ve come back here a while back.

Do you think it’s because of the beard?

Yeah, I think so.

Do you plan on keeping the beard?

I’m working here in London and I’ll see if they let me keep it. I’d like to do an audition without people knowing who I am.

How are you getting ready for you role in Bel Ami?

I have to gain some weight. I think they won’t let me gain a lot of weight because we’re going to start shooting Breaking Dawn, but I’ll have to look a little older. My character, Georges Deroy, spent 6 years of his life drinking heavily, so I want to look a bit wild for this role.

How did fame changed you?

I moved to the USA. I’ve always thought it would be like it is in England. I came to spend Christmas (in London) and everything was calm, different than I thought it would be. I think things are way different there – I really can’t do anything. I just don’t want to make the news. I don’t have any interest in those people who are on the cover of gossip magazines, because it is possible to hide. And everyone who goes out and gets caught by a paparazzi always looks like someone who’s boring or something.

Cannes was a bit crazy for you last year…

It is quite funny to go in the middle of the crowd – and our only 2 bodyguards have to kick people while we’re trying to walk through them. It’s cool, but at the same time you think “why am I doing this?”. I don’t want people to think that that’s interesting – you don’t even need to say anything and people go crazy.

Are there times when it gets too intense?

Sometimes. Usually dealing with crowds isn’t a problem. You’re walking on the street and, suddenly, 20 people come running after you and, it doesn’t matter who they are – kids or not – it’s still intense. It’s a weird experience and you get a little bit paranoid because of that. You just walk on the streets looking around and checking if you’re going to get “attacked” at any moment.

What was the most intense situation you’ve ever been through?

Shooting New Moon in Italy was unbelievable, it was the most intense situation I’ve ever experienced. I think 60% of our extras were fans. There was this crowd of fans and I had to take my shirt off in front of them. It was the most bizarre thing I’ve ever done.

So your current reality is to run and hide inside bars and hotels?

In Los Angeles, yeah. And it’s bizarre but in London I’m living a normal life.

What do you like to do in London?

In the last 3 years I didn’t get to spend much time in here, but I used to live in Soho, so I knew everyone. But, since I came back, I realized that most of the places I used to go are closed now.

What actors you admire for their talent and attitude?

Joaquin Phoenix and Ryan Gosling

You play piano and other instruments. Have you ever been in a band?

When I was younger I used to be part of a small band called Bad Girls. It was a long time ago. Almost all of my friends are musicians and have bands, so I play with them sometimes.

Do you want to be a musician?

I like the idea of writing and making soundtracks. I don’t think I’d be brave enough to make a solo album.

If it wasn’t for your father, you’d probably be in the music industry. Is it true he told you to be an actor?

It’s true, because he saw a bunch of pretty girls and said “Rob, you should go there”. That’s what motivated me to be an actor!

You didn’t have any idea Twilight would change your life?

Actually, I don’t think anyone involved in Twilight thought this would happen. Maybe because it wasn’t another teen movie.

Are you into fashion?

I like Marc Jacobs. I wore some clothes from his line in almost every premiere because I think they’re the only ones who look good on me. I usually like cheap clothes. I don’t go shopping for clothes so I always end up wearing the same ones.

Do you go to fashion shows?

I wouldn’t do that, it would be too embarrassing. My friends would say “what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?” (laughs)

Po tych zdjęciach z planu 'Bel Ami' widać, że trochę Rob przytył. Ale jak czytamy w tym ostatnim wywiadzie, było to potrzebne do roli. W ogóle fajny nawet ten wywiad, nie za dużo pytań o Zmierzch, i dobrze. Może po tych rolach w 'Remember Me' i "Bel Ami' oraz innych, uda się Robowi trochę uciec od tego szaleństwa związanego ze Zmierzchem.
Mam pytanie, może ktoś z Was się orientuje... Czy to już pewnie, że Rob zagra w tym filmie M. Stowe "unbound captives" oraz w "water for elephant" z R. Witherspoon (bardzo lubię tę aktorkę i super byłoby zobaczyć Roba i Reese w jednym filmie)? Jeśli tak to wiadomo kiedy będą kręcone i na kiedy przewidziane premiery?

Robert Pattinson’s Interview with Parade.com

Robert Pattinson: ‘I Didn’t Like the Way ‘New Moon’ Was Treated By Critics’

Robert Pattinson is taking a break from his Twilight stardom to play a rebellious New York college student in Remember Me. In the indie flick, the 23-year-old gets to explode with rage, fall in love with a girl (played by Lost’s Emilie de Ravin) and go head-to head with his domineering father (played by Pierce Brosnan).

Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf found out what Pattinson had in common with his character’s search for identity.

Acting as therapy.

“I try and pick roles that will help me develop as a human being and I think I was going through a similar kind of experience as my character Tyler, which I guess you could call being rebellious. I thought just doing the film would actually help me to think about and discover things that would help me in my life. I was kind of using it as a therapy exercise.”

Robert Pattinson: ‘Love Can Be More Lethal Than a Vampire Bite’

His personal struggle.

“You’re so focused on trying to be an individual and trying to like stamp your identity on something. But you kind of doubt what you want to be. You don’t accept just being part of the world. I sort of had that feeling. I had this obsession when I was younger about everything feeling kind of fake. Eventually, you just stop sort of railing against everything around you because most people only cause problems for themselves. They’re just blind to the reality of things.”

Connecting with losing a loved one.

“I keep talking about my dog all the time. It was an incredible dog, and I said in an interview recently he was the most important person in my life. My family went crazy with me for saying that. But, however ridiculous it may seem to some people, my relationship with my dog was a defining moment. Having the dog die was, literally, like the worst day of my life. It was like losing a family member.”

The reality of becoming an overnight success.

“I think you really cause yourself a lot of problems if you start fighting against it. There’s nothing you can do. I mean, there’s no mysticism to it. People recognize you and they want to talk to you, or want to see you. My trick is not to see them as a crowd. If you break down every crowd into individuals, then it’s more manageable. It’s just when you start seeing these huge masses of people screaming at you that you start going crazy. So I try to focus on a few faces and not the mass.”

But when you’re filming on location in New York…

“It ended up being like more of a circus than I thought it was going to be. At the beginning, it was terrible. Then, about halfway through, I just suddenly had an epiphany about it. I don’t know what happened, but I know it’s just fine. I guess it’s just learning how to sort of block things out. It’s like you’ve just got to be more disciplined about it.”

A lesson in anger control.

“While we were filming, one of the security guys saw me getting more and more upset with the paparazzi guys. He just sort of came up and was like, ‘Imagine going out there and trying to hit one of them while, let’s say, 40 cameras are clicking away.’ That was enough to kind of calm my frustration. But, at the end of the day, you can’t say, ‘I’m not doing it until these people go away.’ You have to keep acting. So it was definitely way more intense than any of the Twilight films.”

Maybe he skips the reviews.

“I didn’t like the way New Moon was treated by the critics. I think it was reviewed in the context of just being a big franchise movie. When something is so hyped, inevitably, there is a backlash against it. I think Chris Weitz is an amazing director. I really enjoyed the film. So the naysayers kind of annoyed me.”

So why not try an album?

“I kind of want to do one at the end of the year. All my friends are recording albums and I’m very annoyed about it. But I can’t do two things at once. I don’t know how people like Jennifer Lopez can act and also sing. I’m just like, ‘I can’t.’ But, hopefully, I’ll find some time to get it together.”

ParadeMagazine:
Read Part 2 of our interview with Robert Pattinson as he dishes on dating, box office pressure and more!
Robert Pattinson: 'I Don't Remember the Last Time I Asked Someone on a Date'
by Jeanne Wolf

Fear not, Twilight fans. This June, Robert Pattinson will be back in theaters as Hollywood's hottest vampire, Edward Cullen, in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Meanwhile, you can catch him making love and war as troubled college student Tyler in the indie drama Remember Me. Parade.com's Jeanne Wolf found out why Pattinson would like to be more like his character, who doesn't hold back his emotions.

The dating game.
"When it comes to the opposite sex, I'm not as fully confident as the guy I play. I don't even remember the last time I asked someone out on a date, like, just went up to them and that's the first thing I did. I'm much more self-conscious and not wanting to fail. So I tend to hold back."

Ditto with unleashing his macho side.
"I related to Tyler in that I wish I could have done things like he did when I had the opportunity. There is something quite satisfying about being a little bit more reckless and even fighting. It's quite cathartic to just sort of randomly start hitting someone. It was fun kind of, letting all your rage go on the set. We had this big scene where I punch out some guys. It went fine and nobody was really hurt at all. But, at the end, I was like doing this thing where I was hitting myself in the arm, sort of pumping myself up. They cut it out of the movie, but I punched myself so hard that I was in a lot of pain for the rest of the shoot. It was the most stupid thing I've ever done."

He's felt the pain before.
"I got beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger. I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unprovoked. It was after I first started acting and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me."

What he learned from Pierce Brosnan.
"We went out to dinner in a restaurant full of all these guys who looked like bankers or brokers. They didn't recognize me, but they recognized Pierce. And he said, 'Notice those people looking over?' I'm sitting there getting more and more self-conscious, even though I didn't realize they weren't looking at me. Suddenly, Pierce got up and introduced himself to everybody in the restaurant. At first I was like, 'What are you doing? You're like completely insane.' But it worked. Everybody just relaxed and stopped staring and you could tell they were going to go home and say, 'Pierce is such a nice guy.'"

No problem with being compared to James Dean.
"I think he was like the most influential person for young guys, especially actors, in the last 50 years. So yeah, I mean, I'm not ashamed to say I am very much influenced by him."

Facing up to the pressure of the box office.
"It's like a kind of a monster thing. The more people think they know you, the more you're identified with a certain kind of role. People always used to ask me about typecasting and I never had to really worry about it. You think people will judge you by your work. But the truth is, it's about whether the film you're in makes money or not. And if it's not making money, they're like, 'Oh, he's over.'"

His ultimate goal.
"You keep trying to make your name stand for something other than just like meaningless celebrity. It's a difficult battle, but I think people like Johnny Depp have done that. He's not judged by his public image, it's just his acting that counts. To get to that place takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hiding."
