I love this new. Robert is by far one of the most talented young actors. He has shot to fame so quickly. He has more talent then Dan and Emma have in their little fingers. Sorry but its true. I cannot friggin wait to see him as Dali in Little Ashes, its gonna totally change his career. People will take him a lot more seriously after that role. Everyone who has seen the screening of Little Ashes said its the most emotional, beautfiul love story ever and that Rob and Javier are just fantastic in it. But being a huge Twilight fan myself, i cannot wait to see how he plays Edward Cullen, Everything i’ve seen so far has been very good. And he is also a talented musican. Man is there nothing he can’t do!
To think that he started off in that small role of Cedric. He has completely surpassed Daniel Radcliffe in every single way, no offence to Dan fans. I find it laughable that Rob started off in such a small, teen role, because he’s litterally the next Johnny Depp.
P.S. Robert has a rare talent for becoming his character. As Kat correctly pointed out, you will never see any of Rob’s personality in any of his roles. He completely changes. Its GREAT! Kat is totally right, He’s a REAL actor. He doesn’t seem to care about fame at all. Its his passion, his talent. In real life he’s just your average typical British guy who hangs out and likes to drink but when he goes on set….omfg its just amazing. I read this article where they described his process. When they call “action” he stares at the ground for 30 seconds and when he looks up, he has litterally become the character. Isn’t that cool?! He reminds me of actors like Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, James McAvoy, and Ewan McGregor. They all seem to have that talent
I’ve been lucky enough to see some of his other work (as yet unreleased in the US), and I have to say that this award (though slightly surprising at this stage) is well-deserved. He’s gotten a lot of attention thanks to Twilight, but his performance in How To Be (which I have been lucky enough to see thanks to the film festival circuit) is outstanding – very endearing and extremely funny. I haven’t seen Little Ashes yet (though it too has recently started the festival circuit from what I understand), and from what I’ve heard, his performance in that is also noteworthy and will probably garner him a great deal of critical praise.
I am in love with EDWARD ANTHONY MASON CULLEN (and Robert Pattinson!!!!!!!!!!!!) I have been a devoted TRUE Harry Potter Fanatic forever. My boyfriend is a little jealsoe of Edward because I talk so much about him and the Twilight book (Im actually draging him to the movie premeir!) In the 4th film of HP I thought Rob was hot, but when I found out that he was playing EDWARD ome [for those whom dont know what ome is it stands for Oh My Edward] Rob then ‘sparkled’ [lol -Twilight joke] so much more in thine eyes!
