Robert Pattinson is James Dean on AnOther Man Magazine cover, talks Twilight
AnOther Man Magazine was lucky enough to score the hot-as-a-rocket vampiric sex-icon himself for their ninth issue. The UK Magazine comes out October 1, and features an interview with Robert Pattinson to accompany the James Dean homages shot by Hedi Slimane and styled by Nicola Formichetti.
Robert Pattinson does look a bit like James Dean, especially at certain angles in black and white, but his acting skills don’t compare. Maybe he just hasn’t been given the opportunity yet, but I’m not buying into this James Dean mythology until I see RobPat knock out a scene in line with this:
An excerpt from the interview with David Calhoun:
Was Pattinson aware of the loyalty of fans of the Twilight books? It looks like the sort of obsessive fandom that can turn into anger and even hatred when an adaptation isn’t to their liking. Did he know what he was letting himself in for? “It’s strange because even though the figures show that the books were successful and sold millions of copies, you couldn’t even buy them in London. I tried a couple of bookshops and they weren’t available. Hardly anyone I knew had read them apart from one girl, a friend of my sister. I had no idea at all. I’d seen Kristen Stewart in Into the Wild and some of the director Catherine Hardwicke’s other films, and that’s all I thought it was, something really small.”
His manner is very laid back. He doesn’t sound thrusting or ambitious, more like he’s just going with the flow and enjoying things. Is he going to harness his newfound fame and box-office appeal to approach the kind of filmmakers he wants to work with in the future? He’s not so sure. “Annoyingly, there are so few parts I feel I can add anything to, or that I want to do.” But he knows what he doesn’t need. “I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it. I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker.”
