Robert Pattinson has millions of girls all over the world that are swooning over him–but that doesn’t faze him. “It’s just a job and while it’s a job I love, girls scream out for Edward, not Robert. I still can’t get a date,” he told Sydney Morning Herald. Although he is very ‘thankful’ for his role in ‘Twilight’ he still feels as if his acting isn’t that great and that he still feels “awkward in front of the camera.”
Want to know why ‘New Moon’ has set Pattinson free?..How Hugh Jackman beat him at karaoke, and why he’s sick of vampires?..
How he deals with the ‘Twilight’ Success: “All right, I hope. It’s still sort of new… To be honest, I still don’t really understand what’s going on. Like yesterday, I was having lunch down the road. We were in this place for a couple of hours and suddenly there was like 400 people outside on the street. It was just so nuts and it’s like that all the time now.”
How he is set to deal with the ‘New Moon’ hype: “When the second one comes out, then I’ll see how I am. Mostly I can ignore things to quite a big extent and kind of pretend they’re not really happening.”
On his love of filming ‘New Moon’: “I’m not the lead in the second film. Taylor [Lautner] is. I appear in Bella’s dreams. So I’m in it but the focus is not on me. I just have significant moments at the beginning and the end. So I’m more of a supporting role in this one, which is why I felt so free. I didn’t have to deal with any of the bulls*** of the first one. I don’t have to hold the movie or worry about the fans. I think I did it better without all those pressures.”
On Future Roles: “I’m lining up so many different films so it’ll be harder to just label me the vampire guy… . With acting, a lot of the time you’re doing scenes you don’t really relate to and you don’t really know why you’re being cast half the time.”
How he gets along with his ‘Unbound Captives’ co-star, Hugh Jackman: “We went karaoke singing. We were singing Abba songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an Abba song sing-off, you know, last man standing. I think he won, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune. He’s a cool guy and I’m really looking forward to that film.”
How does Robert Pattinson Relax?…”I don’t really need to do stuff to relax or get away because all my interests are part of my job. Like I’ll watch movies to be inspired to do other movies. I read books to be inspired. I listen to music to be inspired to write music. Everything I do is to create something.”
