It couldn’t be any other way: seductive stare, pale skin, innocent little smile, ethereal attitude, all make them seem like he’s not from this planet, or this time at least. It’s not so hard to imagine why he’s a vampire that can make anyone fall in love with him. As if that wasn’t enough, he’s kind, he has a great sense of humour and he likes to laugh at himself. Plus, he has nice style: tight black pants, white shirt with black stripes. It’s not strange to see why there’s hundreds of girls waiting for him outside our tent in Cannes film festival. Some of them are screaming from a terrace, screaming as though they could lose their lives without an actor’s smile or autograph.
… “I can say that the weirdest scene we shot was shot at a High School in Canada. When we got there, there were still plenty of students taking class, and I had to be floating around the place. It was weird, because the scene was very complicated. There was a feeling that I can’t really describe yet (laughs). I think, in general, this sequel will be much more complex, deeper and it will make my character have another dimension..” he assured us.
But there won’t only be transformations in this sequel, Pattinson himself has experienced a change in the way he approaches this territory. “When we were filming Twilight, I used to say that it made me nervous being around so many people of the crew. However, it was weird how this feeling changed in New Moon. It maybe has to do with getting used to what it means being on such a large set, and, in general, a super production. I was surprised at how relaxed I was the entire time, honestly. Which is not a normal thing for me. I felt very confident for the first time, I really understood the sense of the movie, where Chris wanted to take it and what we wanted to tell, the emotions, the mood, everything behind Edward.
“I learned a lot in Twilight, and I never realized until I came back for the sequel. That’s when I discovered the new tools I had acquired. For instance, the things that worried me the most were no longer important. You lose the fear of messing up, you learn to try new techniques, and that’s great. You earn new confidence as an actor, and more freedom as well. I hope this is a process that never stops.
“Now I understand why, with years, better roles come to you. You need a lot of experience to capture emotions with the camera and make the filming yours. But I think I’m on the right path. There’s still a lot for me to learn, though…”, he says.
But it’s not just about a new level of experience, it’s a new emotional level as well. This vampire seems to have changed Rob’s life, and it’s something that you will be able to tell in the actual movie, according to the actor. “Of course that another new thing that happened is that I felt much closer to my character. It’s amazing the amount of emotions that you can connect with when you know more about him. This gives you more intuition and you’re more natural. It’s like you’re beginning to decipher everything in his mind and act almost instinctively. Getting into a role as intense as this it’s an incredible process. You never imagine what will wake up inside of you until you perform it and make it your own”.
“To me, films are very much like life, and relationships. Sometimes you don’t know how to find the right person. But at least you’re sure about what you’re not interested in. The same happens with scripts and stories (laughs). There’s projects that almost immediately you know they’re for you and that you’ll be able to them naturally, and others that you try to imagine and you know they are not for you. Does it sound familiar?” he asks me.
And this brings us to very important territory in this actor’s life, because at 23 he has managed to placed himself under every spotlight in the world. But here comes the best part: planning his own career, “I haven’t stopped working this year and I’m involved in many different projects outside of Twilight and New Moon. I can tell you that most of the characters that I’ve chosen and every role that you’ll see me in the future, have a very personal orientation, because these are stories that I felt I had to do. Don’t ask me why, I just knew! But the truth is, I have no plans, and I’m not following a strategy either. I just try to be faithful to what my heart tells me, and that’s it.
“I think that in this sense, I dream about things that every actor dreams of: doing things that I’m passionate about, and things that I can feel proud of, which sounds very simple, but it’s hard to get because in the film industry there will always be little factors that don’t depend on you”.
… It’s surprising the maturity in which Robert Pattinson has taken this role, and how he handles his personal life. The truth is, the star doesn’t want to stop getting excited and feeling. Just like any teenager, “I’m someone who is very happy with the most simple things in life. My friends are very important to me, as is my family and the people I love in general. I love music, films, going out for a drink and have fun. Everyday, normal things, but that I live with passion. And of course, I keep working to develope myself even more. I trust that this will happen. It doesn’t have to be different. When you work for what you want to and you give all your heart to it, everything comes in its own time. You have to trust life” he ends as he plays with his hair and he waits for us to stop recording to say goodbye with a kiss.

Read the complete interview in the print edition of Vanity Fair’s December 2009 – Evgenia Peretz on Robert Pattinson.
Rather than working his way through supermodels, Pattinson, who’s been living out of three suitcases for the past year, has been feeling overwhelmed, self-conscious, and guilty. “I’m trying not to drown,” he says in his hotel room at the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel, which is littered today with beer bottles, old scrambled eggs, a half-eaten Twix bar, and a dirty pair of jeans on the living-room floor. And he notices that he hasn’t made his bed. “Oh, God. Sorry about that.”
Lastly, SplashNews has a video of Robert Pattinson’s arrival at Narita Airport, Tokyo yesterday.
