Hitfix: “Drop the mic, Rob. You win”
Some great comments from Drew McWeeny of Hitfix in their article on “Will these artists and actors still be big stars in 5 years time”:
“Robert Pattinson
Where They Are Now: Working hard and loving life, evidently. David Cronenberg has apparently adopted Pattinson, and if they end up with a DiCaprio/Scorsese relationship for a few years, giving one of the best filmmakers alive a commercial shot in the arm, that would be fine with me. James Gray, David Michod, and no less than Werner Herzog are all set to work with him as well, and he’s playing T.E. Lawrence. Drop the mic, Rob. You win.
Where They May Be In 5 Years: Ultimately, he’s got to do good work in these films, but he’s got a huge line-up coming, and he seems to understand how fleeting stardom is. Unlike his “Twilight” co-star, he’s never acted like the spotlight is a burden or a horror, but rather a temporary moment due to the material. By all accounts, he is a real collaborator, someone who wants to work with strong filmmakers and strong co-stars, and as long as he keeps that up, he’s in this for the long haul.”
And thank GOD he’s in it for the long haul!
If you want to read the rest you know the drill.
Thanks @mlyyy11 for the heads up.

Not that he needs anyone’s endorsement, but wow, this was spot on. Yes, Rob’s always had a good head on his shoulders and has never taken himself seriously in the scheme of Hollywood ‘popularity’. That’s an immense part of his appeal – to me, anyway – and seems to carry him over the usual pressures of having paparazzi and gossip columnists chasing him 24/7. I love the way he’s maintained his dignity over all the horrible shit he’s had to put up with in the last few years. Head up, darlin’, and so long as I’ve got breath in my body, I’ll follow your career wherever it goes! Thank you to @mlyyy11 for passing this on and to Maria for posting.

I’m more than happy to be ‘in it for the long haul’ too, supporting him all the way!

Thank God indeed!! Just as we always predicted they are slowly understanding who Rob is and really appreciating him and his work. Couldn’t be a prouder fan. Yes people he truly is one in a million.

I know Rob would have made it through the Twi crap anyway, but I am so happy David adopted Rob. Wonderful artical
