Rob's Interview with Cinemania
Your character and Kristen’s shared so many romantic times during the filming, especially the last day of filming.
The last day of filming in Saint Thomas was great. It was just Kristen and I. The only time we were able to film with a nice weather. It was literally the last day of filming, and we were filming a scene in which we’re kissing in the ocean, all night. So it wasn’t a bad way to say goodbye. Then everybody stayed to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful.
Can you share something about Kristen?
The only thing she likes to watch on TV is the cooking channel, especially when she’s on set. She has her TV on all the time in her make up trailer. That’s her only diva behavior (laughs); the cooking channel must always be on, any time, everywhere.
What was it like playing a dad? Was it hard?
Not at first. You’re holding a baby, which is not easy to do, but nobody knows how to be a father at first. You can’t prepare for it. It was weird whn Mackenzie Foy had to play my daughter because you start to think: “My daughter is now 11. It’s been two months that she’s been born and now she can talk.” It was complicated to play. But it’s a fantasy movie, so you have to believe it.
You said you were nervous of taking off your shirt this time.
When I did New Moon, someone in the studio said I needed a six pack and I had to work out. I had to look like a vampire, it was part of the character. As soon as they told me I neded a six pack, I stopped working out and I never did it again for the rest of the series. They realized they shouldn’t have told me anything. In this last movie I spent six weeks in Baton Rouge with nothing to do, so I started running. And then I started going to the gym and I became obsessed. I ran 14-16 km everyday. I even rode a bike. Until I got bored. Plus, when you’re filming, if you want to go to the gym you need to do it at 4 am. That’s just not worth it (he laughs in a very infectious way).
With this fame you have and your relationship with Twilight, do you think it will be harder to get the type of work that you really like the most?
Of course. Before Twilight I did castings for so many things, and I was always left on the top 3. They gave the role to someone who was already more famous than me, and I kept thinking how unfair it was, so I thought the only way was to become more famous. But when you’re super famous, you get offered tons of bad stuff, in movies where they’re not even concerned with the cast. And if you haven’t done much work, directors look at you like an unknown and there’s not stigma attached to your name. It’s harder to get some roles sometimes. It’s weird.
So you’ve had doors closing to you…
If you’re a complete unknown, you have more chances. After Twilight, things are very different, depending where the money comes from. If there’s not a star attached, there’s no way that you can sel a movie, so that forces you to make a good movie. But if you don’t, it’s like “Since he’s involved, we need to get teens interested,” so they change the story, and you end up having that pressure. A good director will prefer not to deal with that stuff. But it’s true that if you find the eprfect role, everything will fall into place. But there’s less options. Now that I have a very specific image, it’s hard to find roles that fit into it.
That didn’t stop you from getting Cosmopolis.
It was amazing. I let my spiral of paranoia go out of control and I thought all the good directors would want nothing to do with me now. And then Cronenberg makes this offer directly to me. I had neve even met him before.. I had a grat time during filming, and I kept saying “Am I good enough? I don’t know what I’m doing,” and he said “why do you think like that? You are an actor,” and the only reason that happened to me it’s because I became this sort of celebrity, and I’m worried that people won’t take me seriously.
What did Cronenberg see in you that he chose to cast you?
Nothing. Just interviews. And he saw Remember Me. But this character looks like nothing I’ve ever done before.. When I first read the script, I thought I couldn’t play the character. I loved the script, but I was afraid. I said I called him in a week to find out if I wanted the part or not. I spent an entire week thinking how to say no. The only thing I thought was “Look, I can’t do this because I’m a coward and I don’t know how to play it (laughs really loudly). So I said yes, and told him I didn’t know what the story was about. He said he didn’t know either. So we started collaborating from that point on. I had never worked with a filmmaker that had so much confidence in himself. He just said everyday “let’s see what happens,” there were no rehearsals, nothing. It was insane.
We know you love to watch movies, what was the last movie you saw?
Red Riding Hood. That was the last time I saw anything. Going to the movies is impossible after Twilight. You’re trapped in a dark room and don’t know what is going to happen, and I get nervous and think of everything that I’m going to have to deal with after it’s over. That time there were 60 people outside the theater. Before I saw Inception. I went to a theater in the middle of nowhere and there were 20 paparazzi waiting for me outside. I couldn’t get rid of them all day.
Rob never let serious subjects like his insecurities affect his sense of humor and his desire to have fun in every circumstance. He talks openly about everything. We have now the image of an actor who, answer after answer, shows himself rebellious, unconformed and against the ideas Hollywood tries to impose on him. We shake his hand and he says goodbye. Outside, we find the best surprise ever: his dog, Bear, a half-breed he adopted in Baton Rouge. It looks like Bear takes after his master: simple, sweet. It’s the only thing that explains the reason why he jumped at us and licked out feet.

[Digital Scans] Rob and Kristen Interview in Cineplex Magazine
Transcript: StrictlyRobsten
Screaming fans line up overnight and camera-wielding press converge en masse to catch a glimpse of the stars of one of the biggest franchises in recent history. But it’s just another day in the life of The Twilight Saga’s Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
The venue is San Diego’s Comic-Con and the romantic duo at the heart of the franchise (they’re rumoured to be involved off-screen, too) are here to talk about the beginning of the end, Breaking Dawn, the adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s final book in the saga that pits vampires (including Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black), with a confused human caught in between (Stewart’s Bella Swan).
Yet, while filming may have wrapped for Twilight’s stars, it’s not quite time to say goodbye. The final chapter is being broken into two movies - Part 1 comes out this month, and Part 2 next November, with new director Bill Condon.
Despite jet lag, Stewart and Pattinson are relaxed and quick with a joke or a smile on this day. In fact, they seem quite tickled that - aside from some major tv appearances - this is the first time in three years they’ve sat side-by-side to talk about the roles that launched their careers.
Q: You guys had a different director for each film. What was it like to work with Bill Condon, especially given how well-established these characters are?
Stewart: “It’s interesting working with a new director each go around. It’s funny; at first you always think there’s going to be a period of trying to introduce them to your story. You know, get them feeling like they’re on our page, get them feeling acclimated to our little world, but it goes both ways...It’s two side meeting in the middle. He’s very smart, he’s really good at talking about people and how people react to each other and our dynamics within the story, and everything was just a good working experience, it didn’t feel like a studio movie. It felt like our job was to get in there and figure it out and understand these people.”
Pattinson: “Catherine [Hardwicke] to Chris Weitz to David Slade to Bill...it’s like...the four points of a compass.”
Q: Breaking Dawn is being split into two parts but you filmed them as one. How did that affect the story?
Pattinson: “The first one is based on a smaller section of the book than the second one is. It’s quite nice to kind of get the opportunity to concentrate on more intricate relationships and stuff.
Stewart: “Yeah, you can let moments play out between people and, like, just watch people live and experience things rather than shoving exposition in their face at every moment...It feels much more like a real movie [laughs]. Feels like a good movie, actually.
Q: What are your favourite scenes?
Stewart: “I think that I’m most excited about the wedding and a few moments during the honeymoon and the birth...There are two scenes that take place right at the end of the reception for the wedding, between Charlie and Renee and Bella and I really love that part.”
Q: How did it feel to say goodbye to characters that you’ve been with for so long?
Stewart: “The actual moment, it was definitely strange. It’s one of those things that I had to sort of tell myself to appreciate. - tell myself to acknowledge it and sort of be in the moment because it was really late one night on set and it was like, ‘Oh we’re wrapped...but we’re wrapped wrapped.’”
Q: And you finished with the wedding scene.
Stewart: “It was cool that we had such a huge scene to do...It usually DOES end with some random green screen and no one’s there. It definitely felt like the right...it felt like a cathartic experience. It was chapter closed.”
Q: What’s new and different about this one?
Stewart: “It’s the first where you feel you’re not watch the story of, ‘Are they going to stay together? Or not stay together?’ They’re done, it’s very official. And the beginning is really happy - like, it’s the happiest the series ever gets, it’s really light. They know each other now in a much more realistic way, they are not just enamoured with each other, they are really able to live. And then it all gets crazy after we have sex because that’s just what happens, kids.”
Pattinson: “Use a condom! That’s the moral of the movie.”
Q: How did it feel to be in that wedding dress?
Stewart: “The dress was tight. It was so tight. I really liked it, it was really pretty. It was a huge deal, keeping this thing shrouded, I was wearing this Volturi cape most of the time and I hated it. You know, you want to feel pretty on your wedding day and every single time they call ‘cut’ someone comes and attacks you with a Volturi cape and I’m like, ‘Where am I?’”
Q: What’s been your most memorable fan experience since this all started?
Pattinson: “My favourite moment was actually on the first film when nobody knew what was going on. We were doing the last bit of the shoot and there were these people that were waiting outside of the perimeter of the set and this one woman handed her baby, who was three months old, to an AD (assistant director) to meet us. The AD didn’t really know what to do with it and he’s like, I think she wants you to sign the baby or something...No, she wanted pictures with the baby. I didn’t really understand the reality of the situation at that point, that anyone would actually see this picture, and so there’s a picture of me on the internet biting this baby.”
Stewart: “You bit the baby?”
Pattinson: “Yeah.”
Stewart: “That’s so weird.”
Pattinson: “I didn’t actually like, touch it. It’s kind of a funny picture. The baby was so young that the entire head fits in my mouth.”
Stewart: “I’ve had pretty gratifying experiences ... It’s funny because I think if I were to meet some of the people whose work has really spoken to me on some level that I think only I could understand, and you know, we have this connection...I’m sure that when I met this person and I told them that and I said, ‘I really know you, I know a version of you really well, I just thank you so much,’ I’m sure they would think I was a nut case. Now having been in both positions it’s kind of understandable....The crying is always what’s weird.”
