ELLE: JAMES DEAN - Robert Pattinson : TWO IDOLS , TWO EDEN

One, James , is the emblem of the 50s teen , who has 24 years and who looks ten years older in his man's suit . It was in 1955: in five months, he died. We know everything about this picture, the friendship which united the photographer (Dennis Stock) , location ( New York ), fatigue of James that day . James might be immortalized by his friend , which is captured is a total solitude which foreshadows almost eternity . Nothing is known then the life of the actor. His homosexuality is carefully hidden . And James Dean, who would speak , was forbidden to discuss it . It would end his career . And perhaps his legend.

The other, Robert , is so famous he could not in any walk incognito in Times Square . It finished this time . Here, tracked by paparazzi , also has 24 years and almost the same face as James Dean . He too must be discreet about his sexual life, even if only to conceal the fact that he has a girlfriend , not to discourage her fans . He also is the idol of poor teen - agers being . But he , despite the isolation that gives it its amazing reputation , linked to other works , his mobile phone to the ear . Instead of giving the impression of stepping into the legend, it gives that little to cling to what remains real . Between these two pictures, a certain pathos left celebs . But also a certain lyricism that made them incomparable ...

Pattinson based Twilight role on rebel James Dean

The British actor shot to international fame when he took on the role of heart-throb vampire Edward Cullen in the hit bloodsucker movie.

Pattinson did a lot of research before he started shooting the film, and admits he used Dean's performance in Rebel Without A Cause as the basis for his character.

He tells USA Weekend magazine,"Rebel Without A Cause was a big influence on the first (Twilight film) - it influenced the hairdo and stuff. In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc: an everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump."

Sv: Den brittiska skådespelaren sköt till höjden av internationell berömmelse när han tog på sig rollen som hjärt-krossaren vampyren Edward Cullen i hit blodsugare filmen.

Pattinson gjorde mycket forskning innan han började spela in filmen, och medger att han använde Deans resultat i Rebel Without a Cause som grund för hans karaktär.

Han berättar för USA Weekend Magazine, "Rebel Without a Cause hade ett stort inflytande på den första (Twilight film) - det påverkade frisyr och sånt. På många sätt har den en mycket likartad karaktär : en vardaglig flicka tar en konstig person ur hans svacka. "
