The interview:

French wherever you hear. That’s rare in the Beverly Hills Hotel, but the entire delegation of Dior came. Everything revolves around the new star of the Dior Homme Campaign, Robert Pattinson. Ex-’Twilight’ superstar, Teen dream the size of Justin Bieber and now on the road to a new life as full grown actor with huge success in Cannes. Pattinson is restless, no easygoing person. He smoked in the past, but those days are over. On the sofa next to him there are still packages though. He plays with the cigarette. Flips it over in his hand. Maybe he’s just nervous, because he’s starting a second worldwide career at just 27.

Mister Pattinson, you’re chewing away on this cigarette for quite some time now. Is it made from chocolate or chewing gum?

P: That would be very awkward. It’s a electronic cigarette.

Why do you not smoke anymore?

P: It just needed to stop. Just like the time as ‘twilight’ vampire.

Non smoker and short hair. Are those the telltale signs of a new phase in your carreer?

P: My hair probably speaks for itself and I really don’t have to express myself. I wonder why people are obsessed with my hair. Recently even Heidi Klum asked me in a tv show “Hey Robert, how do you get your hair to look so great?”.

Did you ever have a bad haircut?

P: A greasy ponytail, sleeked back with grease. And added loads of perfume. It was all too much. I could say I wasn’t a man back then

We can assume you are one now [a man]. In the commercial for the perfume Dior Homme you have a resemblance with Jean-Paul Belmondo in ‘Breathless’

P: I wanted to portray a real man in the clip, who has something sensitive, but still loves to be free. I think it’s rather embarrassing when men try too hard to be a man.

In the past when you were a model you almost looked like a woman. Didn’t that annoy you?

P: No, I was just too young. I did it to meet girls, without any plan of a carreer. I had a simple ‘just do it to have food’ attitude. Someone took a picture of me and I got 20 pounds for it.

After Twilight you were financially independent. Did this kind of success make you more aware of who you are, or did it make you rethink everything?

P: the only thing I know: I’m going somewhere. I have a an ability I wasn’t aware of until now if I could really do it: to do something in front of a camera and people will buy it.

Your success was something no one had ever whitnessed, even your colleague Emma Watson didn’t envy you for it. How did you stay calm in it all?

P: I just kept working, 24/7. I just had no time to freak out. Work is the best thing to keep you sane. That’s how I could ignore all the crowds in front of the hotels. In the bars it was a different story. There are a lot of people who just want to hit you.

Just because?

P: yes without a reason.

Because they have seen your face on a bus-stop?

P: Maybe. That was enough.

Do you have a ’5-year-plan’?

P: Every movie I shoot, should be screened in Cannes. When I made the decision to do David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, all of sudden more other stuff was possible. David helped me to become an actor.

You are 27 years old now. It’s a dangerous age for the showbusinnes and as well for the emotional household.

P: Do you ask if I’m going to die this year? I was Edward Cullen long enough. I have a new life since the Cronenberg movie, the people talk to you like to an adult. They thought in the Twilight-time I’m just famous. And no one can stand famous people.

Why do you think that?

P: It’s like the ‘uber-pattinson-powerfactor’. Suddently faces appear out of nowhere and become rich and famous. It’s edgy for the other people.

All the presents, special treatments was good for your self concious. What is really important to you to feel sure about yourself though?

P: For me it was and it is my family. I even leave them to chose the scripts’

You let your family decide over your next career steps?

P: Yes. They have lot of stress because of me. They didn’t choose to become the family of ‘Twilight-Pattinson.’ And sadly, they get lots of visits from the paparazzis.

How would you want to be? Which actor do you look up at when you think about your future?

P: Joaquin Phoenix. His acting effects his personal life.

In his documentation about himself, he makes fun of Hollywood and he doesn’t want to be an actor anymore.

P: I don’t want to be an actor forever as well

What then? Will you start a business in Silicon Valley and creating apps?

P I’m waiting for the next surprise. I’ve decided once already to quit acting. I shot ‘Little Ashes’ then. I’ve played Salvador Dali and had to shoot many nude scenes, and I also had to masturbate. Few days later I’ve got the offer for Twilight.

Can you take your time to decide over the next role?

P: I need to take time. But I have to be faster. These days the business manager are making decision whether you get the role or not and they don’t take long time for it. Beside that, I want to get older for other movie roles, to be more effective. You can be too young for a movie role.

For example?

P: When I shot Bel Ami, I was way too young for this character. This guy was an ‘Alpha-Alpha-animal’, smart, but blunt and immoral. Everyone who helped him, mostly women, ended badly . He was just too good in it, to be an a..hole.

Would you act now better as an a..hole?

P: I’m pretty sure about that.

    And @Sue we didn’t post on the site, but I did tweet about it – you can probably scroll through the tweet widget on the sidebar to see them – Rob visited a hospital today – there’s some really gorgeous pics of him with one of the patients he visited. She was soooo excited – am so happy for her. What a sweetheart. Today is an especially great day to be a fan of this man.

    @Maria ~ how excited was that patient? And how gorgeous are those photos of them both? So wonderful that Rob would take the time to brighten her day. Better than any medicine, as we can all attest! Such a sweetheart.

    Awww she sure was adorable Jules, made me smile so much seeing how happy & excited she was. Beautiful man with a heart of gold Rob is.

    Thankyou RPAU for your sidebar tweets. They alerted me to that wonderful story about Rob’s hospital visit. He keeps justifying my adoration

    Aaaaah I just LOVE this interview, I just LOVE the pictures, I just LOVE THE MAN, and yes I need new words too *wink at Jules* I almost had tears to my eyes with the hospital pics… And thank you all for posting/commenting I love your humour 😀 I just hope that if some day he stops being an actor he will stay in the art field (music ? *fingers and toes crossed* ) so we can still have news from him, I want to follow his career all his life (well, all my life, as being much older then him… 😛 ) Have a great week-end everybody !
    p.s. sometimes I comment but it does take a while before it shows (traveling time from Montréal to Australia 😉 ) and sometimes it just doesn’t show. Any idea why ?

    @maria my first reaction was identical to yours. Holy.Molly!! What an interview! I’m guessing some of it was lost in translation but he sounds so much more confident in his abilities and what he wants to do in his career. I love how he gives credit to DC as well because thats the kind of person he is. As for the new pics…I have no words. He is so beautiful. The hospital visit is just another confirmation of his inner beauty as well.

    My God. How stunning is this man…?! This campaign is going to be AWESOME. Re: interview. I hope he’s not serious about ‘not being an actor forever’. Well, OK, he can retire at 90 or something, but not before please!

    @Sue her excitement was so cute and I’m genuinely happy for her to have had that opportunity. Sometimes you have to have something bad happen so that you can appreciate the good that occurs. I hope she’s home soon. Honestly I get goosebumps just thinking about how happy she was – love seeing people’s dreams come true.

    That’s all thanks to WordPress Lynda 🙁 For some reason, it loves putting comments into Spam, cheeky thing it is. Even does it to us too. The comments stay there until one of us manually approves them. WordPress really is the devil, great when it works, not so much when it doesn’t LOL.
