Robert Pattinson in Atrevida Magazine — Brazil (scans)

Here are some excerpts of the translation:

Less than a month before Eclipse hits the the­aters, Atre spoke with Robert Pat­tin­son about matur­ing early and projects out­side the Saga.

Unless you live on another planet, you must have heard about Robert Pat­tin­son who plays the beau­ti­ful vam­pire Edward Cullen on Twi­light New Moon. The next episode of the saga, writ­ten by Amer­i­can author Stephe­nie Meyer, Eclipse, is com­ing to the­aters soon, on June 30th to be exact. In the third part of the story, Bella is forced to choose between the vampire

Edward and were­wolf Jacob. If you read the books you already know what direc­tion it will take. So, how about some­thing that you don’t know alreadt? We are in luck! We inter­viewed Robert Pat­tin­son in Los Ange­les, days after he turned 24 and asked about his work in Eclipse, what to expect for Break­ing Dawn, and how he deals with the pres­sures of fame.


Q. Before all, belated Happy birth­day! Since you play a char­ac­ter who never ages, how you deal with birthdays?

A. Play­ing a role of a vam­pire makes me feel like I’m get­ting old faster than I am, because every six months I go back to the sets and every­one is like, “What hap­pened? It seems like you’ve aged” I just turned 24 and feel 35.


Q. Eclipse is going to hit the the­aters soon, what will sur­prise the fans in your opinion?

A. Twi­light had a con­cen­trated more on Edward and Bella and New Moon was more

about Jacob. Eclipse is gonna be inter­est­ing because every­one has their place in the sun and you can see more inter­ac­tion between Bella, Edward and Jacob.

Q. And your role? What was the biggest chal­lenge of play­ing Edward this time?

A. Edward live dif­fer­ent emo­tions in Eclipse. In the first two films, he is more dis­tant from

every­one, but now he must join and be part of the world and not be indif­fer­ent if he wants to

main­tain his relationships.

Q. Do you have a favorite scene?

A. I like the scene in which Bella thinks she’s cheat­ing on me with Jacob and Edward has to

deal with this and for­give her. Is one of the most inter­est­ing scenes.

Q. How would you describe the expe­ri­ence of work­ing with David Slade?

a. It was excit­ing because David came and said I wanted to do some­thing really different. ”

There will be a great con­trast between Eclipse and the other movies.

Q. There are rumors that Break­ing Dawn will be filmed in 3D, is this true?

A. I see in 3D all day (laughs). I can not even imag­ine the movie in 3D to be hon­est, but I think it’s gonna be cool.

Q. The Twi­light Saga is not yet over, but are your feel­ings about it com­ing to an end?

A. Dur­ing film­ing, I always for­get how much I like the char­ac­ter. It is very com­fort­able and

famil­iar when play­ing Edward and I try to improve my per­for­mance in every movie.

But it’s hard to think about the whole expe­ri­ence. Every­thing hap­pened so fast and became huge so soon, like super­nova. I think it will take me 10 years to be able to han­dle this.

Q. Have you any idea what you are going to do before shoot­ing Break­ing Dawn?

A. I just worked on Bel Ami, with Christina Ricci, Uma Thur­man and Kristin Scott Thomas, and I am about to start film­ing Water for Elephants.

Q.What parts are you play­ing in these films?

A. In Bel Ami I’m a Parisian with which who’s inca­pable to have some empa­thy and no one likes him, but he ends up with a lot of money which I think is real­is­tic. (Laughs)

Q. And in Water for Elephants?

A. The film is set dur­ing the great depres­sion and I’m a guy who joins a circus.

Q. So, you work with elephants?

A Yes. it’s a great story, an incred­i­ble cast, a good direc­tor and a spec­tac­u­lar film with­out no

spe­cial effects, but one of the things that inspired me most about the film were the ele­phants. I love work­ing with them. Is won­der­ful. Did you know that ele­phants purr? I dis­cov­ered this dur­ing filming.

Q. From which of your parts did you learn?

A. Besides Edward, I would say that was Sal­vador Dali, in Lit­tle Ashes. I really changed my way of observ­ing the per­for­mance. But I think every role I played influ­enced my per­son­al­ity at some point.

Q. It seems that you are work­ing almost non­stop. Any plans for a break?

A. Not yet. Maybe after Break­ing Dawn, but I don’t think I need it. This work is like being on

vaca­tion or at least it is not hard work. It’s great to go to work every day.

Q. Do you feel alone?

A. I think as I work full time, I live my life partly alone. Most con­ver­sa­tions I have are about the same sub­ject and peo­ple dic­tate the way I have to behave.

Q. You’re being called the world’s most famous actor. How do you han­dle all this attention?

A. I spend much time hid­ing. There are good days and bad and I try not to panic about

things. But I try to keep work sep­a­rate from per­sonal life and it hasn’t affected my ego. I’m not leav­ing Lon­don ecept for work, but that does not mean that I spend most of the time in Los Ange­les or going to movie festivals.

Q. Are you a fan yourself?

A. I sat next to David and Vic­to­ria Beck­ham at a restau­rant the first time I went to LA.

Q. You’ve been a fan of David or Victoria?

A. (Laugh) It was a com­bi­na­tion of both. It was sim­ply sur­real to me.

Q. You said that suc­cess has not gone to your head. But you are con­sid­ered the “best dressed” or the “Sex­i­est Man” Don’t you think thats cool?

A. I’m sure that next year they will have another per­son on the list. In fact, these things make me laugh. This morn­ing, I was com­ing back from the gym and sud­denly real­ized that I was wear­ing my old work­out clothes and shabby sneak­ers, I looked like a hobo. I think that some­times rules me out for the most sexy and well dressed.

Q. What is the weird­est ques­tion that the peo­ple have asked you?

A. If I believe in vam­pires, which I don’t. Some­one once asked me also the color of my tooth­brush and I couldn’t remember.

Q. And what’s the strangest thing you’ve read about yourself?

A.That I was the best dressed. Who­ever thinks I am has not seen me wear­ing my gym outfit!
