Robert in Glossy Magazine [SCANS + Translations]

What’s the secret of sexsym­bol Robert Pattinson?

Those who never heard of Robert Pat­tin­son must have been liv­ing on a deserted island the past two years. Ever since the 24 year old British actor played Edward Cullen in the Twi­light Saga, there have been lots of women swoon­ing over him. Glossy wanted to know: what makes this it-boy so sexy?



Tossled hair, sul­try eyes and a hot body are THE ingre­di­ents for a teen-idol and Robert Pat­tin­son has it all. But he almost didn’t become the star he is today. For the audi­tion of Twi­light, the first of the 4 Twi­light Saga movies (based on the pop­u­lar book by Stephe­nie Meyer) he made a video which never reached the cast­ing direc­tor. Robert thought he was so bad at act­ing that he didn’t dare send it in. The fact that he even­tu­ally did get invited to audi­tion was due to his part of Cedric Dig­gory in Harry Pot­ter and the Gob­let of Fire. Cedric doesn’t make it to the end of the movie, but Roberts car­reer started here.



The Brit wasn’t con­vinced though. Shortly after the audi­tion he called his par­ents: “I told them ‘This is it, I’m quit­ting!’ and the only thing they said was ‘Okay’. That wasn’t the answer I was expect­ing.” Robert needed all the sup­port he could get. The hard­core Twilight-fans, called Twi-hards, weren’t that enthau­si­as­tic about Robert play­ing their favourite vampire.



Stephe­nie Meyer, the ‘spir­i­tual mother’ of Edward Cullen, was con­vinced mis­ter Pat­tin­son could do it and made sure he got the part in the Twi­light Saga.


Crazy

To pre­pare him­self for the part, and to prove the Twi-hards wrong, Robert retreated for a while in the Amer­i­can city Port­land. He was so focused, he closed him­self off. ‘I didn’t talk much dur­ing film­ing and never went out with the crew, but halfway through film­ing I thought: okay, peo­ple might start think­ing I’m really crazy’. Crazy or not, when Twi­light hit the the­aters in novem­ber 2008, no twi-hard doubted if Robert was the per­fect Edward Cullen. A star was born! Robert became in no time the most desir­able bach­e­lor on the planet — fans call him lov­ingly R-Patzz.



But the fame didn’t go to his head. Rob was imme­di­atly very con­cen­trated for the sec­ond movie New Moon. David Slade, direc­tor of New Moon [note: this was Chris Weitz, Slade was direc­tor of Eclipse — DreamySim1]: “Robert is very seri­ous and will do any­thing to make his char­ac­ter believable/real. Not just for him­self, but also for the audience.’



Who thinks Robert can only play the part of a sexy vam­pire is wrong. Between shoot­ing the two Twi­light Saga movies he did an amaz­ing job shoot­ing the movie Remem­ber Me. ‘I love play­ing parts that are inspir­ing, I don’t want to just play parts that are good for my career.’ he says. Robert doesn’t just get inspired by act­ing: his other pas­sion, music, inspires him too.



He started play­ing the piano when he was very young and when he was 15 he started play­ing the gui­tar. Unfor­tu­natly he doesn’t get to make music much any­more because of his tight worksched­ule. “I do miss mak­ing music very much”. For­tu­nately he could live out his pas­sion for music on the sound­track of Twi­light with the song Never Think.
