I know it doesn’t really tell us anything we didn’t already know, but I’ve been waiting to see this confirmed at Variety:

Oh and “Pattinson is slowly trying to break away from his “Twilight” fan base” – personally I think the People’s Choice Awards confirmed that he’s succeeding in this.  That’s my opinion and not sour grapes –  I want Rob to continue with the film choices he’s making – who cares about fan based awards.  I’ve always said that Rob is this generation’s Johnny Depp – at 24 Depp was cast in 21 Jump Street and not receiving the film choices Rob’s been able to choose.  Just remember Depp was 27 before he had his first major movie role in Edward Scissorhand.   I’m not going to compare him to Leo because we all know Leo was a child star so it’s hardly the same.

And I’m prepared for some backlash from the people who hate comparisons, but remember this is my opinion and not gospel.  When I look at the careers of  both  Depp and DiCaprio, it’s hard for me not to notice that they, like Rob, picked diverse roles early on and even though they could have travelled the “teen” stars trail, they were clearly serious enough about their craft to not do so.  Remember all of them have at some stage been tagged with “teen idol”.   Hmm I think I may have even been a teen for one of them lol.

Happy days!
