A New Rob Interview

TwilightPoison.com has a fantastic new interview with Rob that seems pretty recent. I love Rob’s wry sense of humor, but it is fairly easy to read between the lines to see his desire for some peace and quiet, and a sense of home. Hopefully he will get to see his family and London very soon. We do wish him all the best, especially a great sense of peace.

Read the English translation of the article below and follow the magazine scans here.

Los 40 Principales magazine, in their edition for Spain, interviewed Rob on the month of February. We finally got a hold of this edition of the magazine. The interview is completely new and it has never been posted online. Here’s the complete translation of the interview, which, as usual, features tons of fun Rob quotes :)

“A year ago I couldn’t get a date. Now the world has gone backwards. I can have any 14 year old that I want.” says the British actor Robert Pattinson, who has become overnight, the new It Boy thanks to his character Edward Cullen.

Move over Zac Efron… Have you met the High School Musical star? We met at an awards show. He’s the new face of success. But he’s all the opposite of what I thought he would be. He’s so honest and down to earth. You’d think he’s so prepared for the press, but he’s not.

What do fans say about you when they meet you in person? They are increadibly opinionated. They have very clear ideas as to how I should live my life. Who knew 15 years old could be so moralistic?

Is it true that you did castings for vampire characters before? Yes, I did an audition for True Blood, but that didn’t work out. I didn’t think I would get the role of Edward Cullen either, because the character is very enigmatic. I didn’t want to play the biggest vampire stereotype, so I tried to humanize him.

When you got the role a lot of fans were very angry….They didn’t want me. They sent me hate messages and the Internet was full of comments. They said I looked like a bum.

Do you understand why Edward appeals so much to young girls?
No, I don’t get why people like this character in such an obsessive level. The fact that he’s so polite and opens doors for girls, all that. I don’t get why teenagers like this stuff.

Did you get along with Kristen Stewart?
In the beginning I thought: “She’s so serious, so I have to be very serious too”. And I went on without talking to her for like two weeks. She must have thought I was stuck up. I only spoke to her about the movie, other movies, books, serious stuff. But I felt like an idiot. I dropped the act and we got along great.

The whole True Blood thing came as a complete surprise! I was the first time we ever heard of it. It sounds strange, but for what it’s worth Los 40 is a very well respected source in all Spanish speaking countries. It’s a huge radio station network that covers all Latin America and Spain, so we can trust their word, unless we get clarification from Rob’s camp.
