3ELLE recently interviewed Rob to talk with him about his post-Twilight career and his upcoming film Bel Ami. Check it out below!
How to explain the phenomenon of Rob Pattinson? One could focus on his looks (Byronic, smoldering, perfect), zeroing in on the cheekbones (razor-sharp, perfect), blue eyes (mysterious, a whole Facebook page dedicated to them, perfect), and that hair (tousled, lustrous, finger lickin’).
Another route is to try to make sense of his Twilight superfans, the squealing girls who camp out for up to a week in hopes of merely getting an autograph, or who ask for a bite on their already-scabby, bloodied necks. Some Twilighters even wonder if he’s really a vampire, as they obsess about his offscreen relationship with Kristen Stewart. (Here’s a thought: Being human, they may have slept together a few times but probably really are just good friends.)
But how about looking at “RPatz” with empathy—even pity—and advancing the theory that he’s a nice, ordinary, likable 24-year-old from a London suburb who accidentally fell into this teen idol heartthrob business? After all, it wasn’t his plan to be cast against great odds in an abstinent-vampire movie; in fact, around 2007, before Twilight cameras rolled, he was flirting with quitting acting altogether and making music instead. (Never mind.)
During a hiatus from shooting Breaking Dawn, the conclusion of the Twilight series, a world-weary-sounding Pattinson perked up as he discussed his post-Twilight career. In Water for Elephants, he plays a veterinary student who falls in love with a married circus performer (Reese Witherspoon), and this year he’ll be seen costarring with Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, and Kristin Scott Thomas in Bel Ami, based on the Guy de Maupassant novel about corrupt journalist Georges Duroy, who seduces and manipulates his way to the top.
2Natalia Tena talks about working with Robert, and is part of the Harry Potter cast. She also has a part in Robert’s film ‘Bel Ami.’

Comments OffTotal Film recently talked with Rob about his upcoming film, Bel Ami, and why it is still awaiting a release date.
Robert Pattinson admits that Bel Ami is still in editing because studio honchos are worried about alienating audiences used to his goody-two-shoes persona in the Twilight franchise.
RPattz plays the titular Bel Ami in an adaptation of Maupassant’s classic novel about a 19th century womanising, social-climbing journalist who sleeps his way round Paris.
Filming in the UK and Budapest opposite leading ladies Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristen Scott Thomas wrapped in spring 2010 and was originally slated for a Christmas release. It currently has no confirmed opening date.
“We were really true to the book and because the guy is basically a shit who wins everything at the end it’s really difficult to market it – especially with me in it,” Pattinson tells TF exclusively.
“Everyone’s worried that everyone’s going to be thinking, ‘Oh I want him to be nice, he’s got to be nice to all the ladies’.”
Bel Ami, though, is an unrepentant cad. “I know,” laughs the Water For Elephants star, “But that was fun!”
1Cineuropa is reporting that Bel Ami will be ready in time for this spring’s film festivals:
The Uma Thurman and Robert Pattinson vehicle Bel Ami, adapted from Guy de Maupassant’s short story, will be ready for Cannes or Venice. Rights have already been sold to Studio Canal Plus for France and Germany. Optimum has UK rights.
Protagonist Pictures are currently marketing their other movies, Tyrannosaur and The Deep Blue Sea.
