Robert Pattinson lied about acting experience to get jobs

Breaking Dawn actor Robert Pattinson says that he lied on his resume before catapulting to fame so that he could land some acting jobs.

He finally got his big break acting as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter before playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise.

He revealed that he was unemployed for two years before moving to Los Angeles to find acting work. He said that he pretended to have attended London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Oxford University to try to impress future employers.

He said, “I’d been unemployed for ages, and when I came to Los Angeles all the casting directors would ask what I’d been doing for the past few years. I’d say, ‘Oh, I was at Rada’ – if you’ve got an English accent you can get away with it. I’d say I went to Oxford, too. I did it for years. But it didn’t work when loads of English people started moving to Los Angeles. So then I pretended to be American for a bit. When Twilight came out I still tried to pretend to be American but people thought I was insane, so I stopped.”

Kellan Lutz rude to Twilight fans?

According to reports, as Breaking Dawn completed filming in Squamish, Vancouver, Twilight fans were trying to get a glimpse of their favorite vampires. Among them, were Kellan Lutz, Peter Facinelli and Taylor Lautner.

Apparently the experience wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be.

Taylor was said to have smiled and greeted the fans, Kellan wasn’t as nice. Reportedly, he was so rude that one fan referred to him as a “jerk face”. The fan said, “He didn’t even turn his head to acknowledge our presence. He’s a jerk face.”

Peter tried to do damage control, saying, “Sorry guys, it’s raining.”

I guess we can’t really expect them to stand out in the rain and get sick in order to meet fans, right? What do you think?

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart to split up after Breaking Dawn?

A snitch close to the couple said that they will part once the second film hits theaters next year, their relationship is a goner.

A source said, “The truth is Robert and Kristen are very different people and want different things. They do not want to be tied down but at the same time they do not want to have to film or promote the last two Twilight movies with the subject of their private life high on the agenda.”

The spy added, “They plan to split quietly as the franchise comes to an end which will also please the producers.”

Do you believe the hype??

Robert Pattinson says goodbye to Edward Cullen

Edward Cullen is no more! As of now, Robert Pattinson and the rest of the Breaking Dawn cast are hanging up their sparkles and are saying goodbye to the Twilight franchise. Reportedly, they have completed filming on the last movie!

He said, “It does feel like a breakup. I do love the guy – and I’m going to miss him. I prefer to think of ending this franchise like leaving school. It’s the last day of high school.”

There are bonuses to walking away from Edward, however. He revealed, “I’ll be very glad not to put those contacts in anymore or have to put on the sparkling makeup.”

He went on to relish the memories, saying, “It’s been amazing to play the same character through so many adventures. And it’s so strange because my life has changed so much over these years, but Twilight and Edward Cullen will always be a part of me. It’s been my whole life. My whole 20s. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

As far as any secrets, you can count on him not spilling the beans. He added, “I haven’t really seen any of the footage, so I’m not sure how any of it turned out. All I can tell you is, it felt right. It was from the heart. I’m as curious as any Twilight fan.”

And there you have it!

Robert Pattinson rejects brooding label

Robert Pattinson is sick and tired of being referred to as “brooding” because of his vampire role in the Twilight movies.

He says that he hopes once the filming for both parts of Breaking Dawn is finished that he’ll be able to move past that label. In a new interview, he said, “I never got that ‘brooding’ thing. I’ve had about enough of that.”

Even the Twilight director, Chris Weitz called him a “weirdo, in the best sense”. Rob went on to say, “I guess I used to be weirder. When you’re confronted with yourself too much you start to think, ‘Jesus Christ, you’re so f**king boring.’ I talk about myself too much now.”

Robert Pattinson fuming over Breaking Dawn leaked photos

Robert Pattinson is angry after photos of himself and Kristen Stewart in their Breaking Dawn sex scenes leaked online.

In a new interview, he said, “It’s just ridiculous. I literally can’t believe that it happened. It’s raw footage. It’s not even what people are going to see. Why do this maliciously? You’re not a fan. You’re just a d*ck. That’s all there is to it.”

He went on to say, “I’d understand it more if they sold the stuff. But, it’s like, ‘Oh, you just want to be annoying?’ Especially when you’ve been working on something for eight months. It’s an exciting movie, and everything is so different, and a lot of people have worked really, really hard.”

Have you seen the photos? What did you think?

Robert Pattinson explains Bel Ami delay

Robert Pattinson explains Bel Ami delay

Robert Pattinson will draw fans to theaters because of his role as vampire Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga. The only problem is that it’s causing a bit of trouble for his newest movie, Bel Ami.

You see, in Bel Ami, Rob plays a womanizer who sleeps his way up the social ladder. And since Edward is such a sparkly vampire nice guy, Bel Ami’s executives are worried that he will alienate his current fan base of Twi-hards.

In a recent interview, Rob said, “We were really true to the book and because the guy is basically a sh*t who wins everything at the end, it’s really difficult to market it — especially with me in it. 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.’”

I’m not. I’m tired of seeing him play some sparkling vampire twit. I want to see him break out of his shell, because Edward isn’t doing anything for me. Try again, Sparklepants.

Robert Pattinson thought Twilight was an Indie flick!

Breaking Dawn actor Robert Pattinson has revealed that when he first heard about the franchise’s director and his co-star Kristen Stewart — he initially thought the movie was going to be an indie flick!

In a recent interview, he said that after reading the script, he thought it was going to be an indie film about teenage vampires.

He said, “I thought at the time, with Catherine Hardwicke and Kristen Stewart, it was going to be an indie movie. It seemed really interesting: a teen vampire movie that was going to be like Thirteen and really serious. I had no idea it was going to be this big thing and you’d get on Burger King hats.”

Are you a Twilight fan??

Robert Pattinson to do theater acting?

Robert Pattinson to do theater acting?

Robert Pattinson says that he is desperate to sign up for some theater performances, but worries about his fame ruining the shows.

He rose to fame in Harry Potter and catapulted to superstardom as Edward Cullen in Twilight, but the actor admits that he would really love to try a role in a theater production. After all, he says he will wait until the Twilight hysteria dies down before pursuing other interests.

He said, “I love to do theater stuff but right now I couldn’t imagine it being a good experience. I just couldn’t imagine it being anything other than people constantly taking photos and stuff. I think it’s too much for me to take. I need to have that separation. It’s like there’s too much energy in an audience.”

What do you think? Should Rob do theater? Or should he stick to the big screen? Let us know in the comments!

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart had an instant attraction

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart had an instant attraction

According to Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, it was basically love at first sight for both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart!

Catherine said, “She felt connected to him from the first moment. That electricity, or love at first sight, or whatever it is.”

The real life couple met in Catherine’s kitchen in Malibu, California where Kristen actually helped Rob get the role of Edward Cullen. Catherine said, “Kristen was like, ‘It’s got to be Rob!’”

People magazine has more:

But the director made Pattinson make a promise first: “You’ve got to realize that Kristen is 17 years old,” she told the actor, who is four years older than his costar. “She’s underage. You’ve got to focus, dude, or you’re going to be arrested. I made him swear on a stack of Bibles.”

When Hardwicke had originally seen photos of Pattinson, she wasn’t sure if he was the right fit to play Edward Cullen. “He had been fired from his last job, he was unemployed, he was in debt,” Hardwicke says.

But she was convinced after he flew to Los Angeles – on his own dime – for the reading with his future love.

I still think they are cute together, don’t you?

First Look: Break Dawn Set Photos Of Edward and Bella Cullen’s Cottage

by on Feb.21, 2011, under articles

Break Dawn Set Photos Of Edward and Bella Cullen’s Cottage
This is a first look at the cottage where Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) will live with their new daughter Renesmee in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. The photos come to us courtesy of Mindy’s Mind – she happened onto the set in Vancouver and was kind enough to snap these photos.

In the Breaking Dawn book Bella Swan describes the cottage:

“I stared into the violet dark. There, nestled into a small clearing in the forest, was a tiny stone cottage, lavender gray in the light of the stars. It belonged here so absolutely that it seemed as if it must have grown from the rock, a natural formation. Honeysuckle climbed up one wall like a lattice, winding all the way up and over the thick wooden shingles. Late summer roses bloomed in a handkerchief-sized garden under the dark, deep-set windows. There was a little path of flat stones, amethyst in the night that led up to the quaint arched wooden door.”

The cast and crew are on their way to Vancouver and filming is expected to being anyday. What do you think of the pictures?

Denis O'Hare slams Twilight vampires

Denis O’Hare played vampire King Russell Edgington on True Blood and he’s got some words for the Twilight vampires!

During his appearance at the Writers Guild Awards on Saturday night, he spoke out against the vampires in Twilight (Robert Pattinson, are you listening?) He said, “Real vampires don’t sparkle, they don’t glisten. They can’t go out in the day and they definitely aren’t celibate! Come on!”

Mwuahaha. I knew someone would say something about that! It’s about time!!!

He went on to say, “People ask me to bite them. It happens a lot. In my rough neighborhood of Fort Greene in Brooklyn, I was inside a Bravo across the street from me and this big Dominican guy who was working there was like, ‘Hey man, can you bite me?’ And I’m like, ‘You’re not going to beat me up afterwards?’ But I did it, and we took a picture!”

Nice!

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart are raking in the money!

According to reports, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are really raking in the dough!

Vanity Fair lists the real life couple as their top earning celebrities of 2010 and with good reason, they’re making bank! Guess who else is on that list? Taylor Lautner, of course!

Rob raked in 29 million dollars, while Kristen banked 30 million. Taylor actually made more than the happy couple, bringing in 36 million dollars! Wow! Nice.

Vanity Fair’s editor, Peter Newcomb said, “Lautner is perhaps the highest paid teenage star right now. When the Twilight stars first negotiated their contracts, they were getting paid a lot less. Then, with the immense success of the film, the agents went back and renegotiated the deal. Lautner’s deal in particular was really bumped up.”

Very nice! Kudos to them!

Ashley Greene talks about Miley Cyrus

In the latest issue of Teen Vogue (see the cover HERE), Twilight actress Ashley Greene talked about Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend, Joe Jonas.

Of Miley, she said, “She’s young, but we could relate to each other because she’s probably been through as much as a 40-year-old!”

She went on to say, “Plenty of Disney kids are perfectly normal and love what they do. But you always hear about the people who aren’t doing well. It’s kind of like the squeaky wheel.”

When talking about their new movie, LOL, she said, “I’m kind of like a bad girl in that film. It’s a really big departure from Alice [from Twilight]. And as much as I love that character, I’m excited for people to see a bit of my range.”

When asked about her boyfriend Joe, she said, “We have a traveling relationship. We met through mutual friends in London, which is crazy because we both live in L.A. And we’ve already met each other’s parents, which I think is a good result of the kind of lifestyle we live. He’s sweet and really funny, which is huge for me.”

Shiloh Fernandez could’ve played Edward Cullen in Twilight

Shiloh Fernandez could've played Edward Cullen in Twilight

Twenty-five year old actor Shiloh Fernandez was one of the frontrunners for the role of Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga movies. Shiloh lost the role to Robert Pattinson, who has since rose to fame and is on the receiving end of a lot of attention these days.

Shiloh has revealed that he is relieved that he wasn’t chosen for the role in the vampire movies. He says that it’s because he’s convinced that he wouldn’t be mentally stable enough to deal with all of the media buzz that Rob gets.

In his interview with VMan magazine, he said, “No one had any idea what Twilight would become. At the time, it was just another audition. I didn’t realize I was missing out on stardom and giant pay checks. Now, looking back on it, I certainly wouldn’t have been mentally stable enough to deal with all that. Lucky for me, not getting that part led to other work that was a much better fit for me.”

Shiloh is starring in the upcoming Catherine Hardwicke directed movie, Red Riding Hood, alongside Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman.

Robert Pattinson compares Water For Elephants to Breaking Dawn

Robert Pattinson has been a busy little bee with filming for his new movie Water For Elephants, along with filming for the vampire movie, Breaking Dawn.

He said that people will get to see a different side of himself as his character, Jacob Jankowski. In a recent interview, Rob talked about how that movie is different than The Twilight Saga. He revealed that his work with Reese Witherspoon is appealing because of its own unique qualities.

He said, “It definitely felt like I was doing a big movie when I was doing it…and it felt totally different from doing something within the Twilight world because now it just seems so familiar, the Twilight stuff.”

So basically Twilight is old hat to him. Which movie are you more excited to see?

Kristen Stewart wants to fund halfway houses for the less fortunate

Twilight actress Kristen Stewart is trying to make good use of the gazillions of dollars that she’s earning from starring in the vampire movies. She says that she wants to take the money and set up a number of halfway houses to help the less fortunate.

Kristen is a saint! In her Vogue interview, she said, “It’s funny when you are endowed not only with public recognition on a f**king seriously vast level, but also money. Like, funds. Anytime I hear that somebody’s really rich, the first question is, ‘Do you do anything with it? Or do you, like, chill? You just sit on it?’”

Contact Music reports:

Stewart reveals she has big plans for her own cash and wants to use the money to aid the recovery of those struggling to get back on their feet after overcoming personal troubles.

She says, “That would be amazing. Right now it’s the thing I feel most connected to.”

I agree. If someone has all kinds of cash just sitting around, why not help the less fortunate on a grander scale?

Ashley Greene talks about Miley Cyrus and LOL

by on Jan.12, 2011, under articles

Twilight actress Ashley Greene sat down with MTV and discussed her new movie LOL and her co-star Miley Cyrus.

The interviewer asked between all of the Twilight and Miley hoopla going on, if they had to deal with a lot of paparazzi and other people around outside the set. In response, she said, “Miley is a phenomenon – she’s accomplished so much in the movie, TV and music worlds that it’s not surprising how much attention was attracted during filming. But we’re both professional and understand that we’re there to do our jobs. Work was our number one priority, and everything else was background.”

RELATED: Ashley Greene & Joe Jonas ring in the New Year together

The interviewer said, “You’ve become a fashion icon in young Hollywood, and your LOL character has a distinctive fashion style. Did you get to pick out any of your outfits? Keep anything? Become inspired by any of those looks?” Ashley said, “I definitely have a say in them, but it’s more about what fits my character than me personally. In LOL, my character, Ashley, wears some pretty outrageous and provocative outfits that I’d never wear in real life! With Alice Cullen, we got to draw on Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O inspirations, which is a bit more me.”

by on Jan.05, 2011, under articles

After Robert Pattinson gets done filming the final installment of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, he will begin filming his new movie, Cosmopolis. The movie will be directed by David Cronenberg.

Deadline has the scoop:

Pattinson, who just starred with Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz in Fox 2000′s Francis Lawrence-directed adaptation of the Elizabeth Gruen novel Water For Elephants, will play Eric Packer. A financial wunderkind, Packer risks his entire fortune to bet against the yen on a tumultuous day. His deed puts him in the crosshairs for assassination in a drama that is a study of capitalism in a slightly futuristic metropolis. Most of the scenes in the book take place in the limousine that transports Packer from place to place. Marion Cotillard and Paul Giamatti are also reportedly doing the film.

I still want to see him in Water For Elephants and Bel Ami. What Rob Pattinson movie are you looking forward to?
