2013 started off with a bang for us Aussies. Rob attended The Golden Globes before jetting off to Australia to film The Rover. We all were eagerly anticipating confirmation of the Dior rumour, Rob reuniting with David Cronenberg in Map to the Stars and hopefully filming Queen of the Desert, Mission:Blacklist or Hold On To Me. Well we might not have seen Rob on set of all those films, but we were certainly kept on a roller coaster about them. QoTD is currently “filming” and we had information that M:B might start filming in the second quarter of 2014. What we weren’t expecting was for Rob to sign on to movies with Dane DeHaan (“Life”), Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Lost City of Z”) or Juliette again with Tim Roth *squee* (“The Childhood of a Leader”). Talk about bonanza. We finally had DiorRob and it was like all our Christmases came at once and still keeps on giving.  I’ve put some fave Dior moments in but I didn’t over do it. If you want to see #DiorRob we have a dedicated page here. We might not have had Rob on movie sets in the second half of 2013, but we certainly had him rubbing shoulders with some of Hollywood’s elite.  And who can forget Rob turning up to Beyonce’s concert – I truly think Beyonce was a little star struck if you ask me. Or that bizarre prank for the Death Grips movie “Misoneism”.  Aussies still couldn’t get enough of Rob and so he was invited to present Blue Tongue Films with an award in LA for Australians in Film. Well that’s what happens when you are an honorary Aussie. I saw some comments that the Aussies just put on these awards so that they could have a night with Rob. It does sound like an Aussie thing to do and can you really blame us. 2013 also gave us a side of Rob that was truly wonderful to see – his compassion when visiting the LA Children’s Hospital and the glee he had supporting the GoGo Campaign. If 2013 is a sign of Rob moving onwards and upwards well then I cannot contain how giddy I might become in 2014. It’s going to be an epic year and well there always seems to be so many “fandom psychics” that I’m going to attempt to predict 2014 – *placesfingersontemples* “Rob is going to have a stellar year for his career and there will be more unexpected roles that will make us twirl and and attempt cartwheels”. Pretty simple really. So before I head off to buy a few more ovens for my kitchen because I won’t have enough capacity to bake all those humble pies … let’s look back at Rob during 2013.

From all of us here at RPAU, thanks for all your support both here on the site and on Twitter, for the laughs, tips and all round friendships. Wishing Rob and all of you a safe, happy and satisfying 2014.
Awww this is absolutely fabulous Maria!!!! What a year it was and we are certainly in for an Amazeballs ride this year….omg I can not wait for his new projects and the chance to see him on the big screen again!! *twirls and twirls*
I’m so looking forward to sharing it with you all here at RPAU, so freaking exciting!!
Happy New Year to you all. Xxx
Beautiful post, thanks Maria. What a year Rob has had. And what a year we have to look forward to. And can I say, looking back at these pics, he has never looked more gorgeously handsome than this past 12 months ~ a year ago I would have never thought it even possible to have improved on the year before, but there you go. I think we hit the jackpot, being Rob fans.
Likewise, RPAU keeps looking better too. Every new banner, every new post, all the Dior treats …… amazing.
Happy New Year to one and all ~ can’t wait to share it with you!

Thank you so much Maria for putting together this beautiful post of the brilliant Rob year that was 2013 – LOVE LOVE LOVE it 😀 How lucky are we to be a fan of this beautiful & talented man.
Happy New Year everyone, cannot wait to share 2014 with all our beautiful friends here at RPAU. It is going to be chock full of Rob epicness. Rob on the big screen, new projects being filmed, promo tours & all we are yet to know about *twirls at thought*

Spectacular post Maria! 😀 LOL, it will be fun watching you bake those pies.
I totally agree, that with each passing year, Rob just gets better and better and it’s such a thrill to be a Rob fan. I adore our community here and so excited to be experiencing this wonderful reflection on the year that was and the anticipation of what lies ahead in 2014. Buckle up! We are in for a bit of an epic ride this year. *dances*
Cannot get over how amazeballs the new banner is and cannot stop staring. It’s incredible Jules and your talent knows no bounds! Thank you for always being happy to share with us. *bows*
Thank you Maria for this wonderful post. So much happened on 2013 and it’s great to have it all put together here in one post to enjoy. 2014 promises to be even bigger and better for Rob and of course for us too. So without further ado I wish everyone here at RPAU a happy and Rob-filled new year. Cheers!
Bwah ha ha re: humble pies! I’d love to be there to help you serve them up, Maria! I’d take great pleasure in stuffing great spoonfuls down some critics’ throats, I tell ya! Well, I guess Rob’s talent will speak for itself in the coming years, when all of the taint of the Twi series has finally subsided, when people will refer to him as ‘Cosmopolis star’, or ‘Mission:Blacklist star’, Robert Pattinson instead of… you know. He’s forging bravely forward into a career that will push him into all sorts of new directions, never playing it safe (but when has he ever played it safe?) and always surprising us. I’m so looking forward to the journey, and of sharing it with all the girls (and guys?) who follow this site.
PS. Pic of the day is to DIE for!
