Robert Pattinson talks to GQ UK

Robert Pattinson talks to GQ UK about his style regrets, the paparazzi and Dior Homme. Below is an extract, but you can read the full interview by clicking on the link above:

“If I was choosing to wear clothes myself, I don’t think I would have gone in a lot the directions that I have ended up going in with Dior and people like Kim Jones,” Pattinson said. “I never would have thought I would be wearing chiffon, silk and satin. I wore this tuxedo, which had basketball shorts last year – never would have imagined that!”

…

“I have so many terror memories of the paparazzi… and I still don full-on protective armour, hood up, hat down” – but he still thinks very carefully about what he wears, including, he says, the kind of items he absolutely can’t pull off. “I wish I could dress like A$AP Rocky, he just has serious style,” he admitted. “We have been to quite a few different fittings together and I will see the craziest thing and really want to wear it, but look like a total moron. Then we will go to the show and I will see Rocky in it and be like, ‘Jesus Christ, you can literally wear anything!’”

His day-to-day style is pretty simple, usually consisting of T-shirts and light-wash jeans, but there is one thing he relies on, which will impress hypebeasts everywhere. Pattinson has a penchant for sold-out Palace Skateboards x Adidas Originals trainers; he gets his team to source them on Ebay and Depop. “A fresh pair of them only comes up every eight months or so,” he tells me. “I had a pair of them stolen off me once, but I saw them on Ebay and I know I bought them back off the thief. I have alerts on when they’re being sold; I’ll soon own every pair in existence,” he says, laughing.

Below is an extract from Madame Figaro online (Google translation)

“I claim my European origins, my taste for literature, music and auteur cinema. I always wanted only one thing: to do my job well and to be a good actor, “soberly explains the English actor Robert Pattinson , as if it were a question of starting the interview with a clarification: knowing the celebrity was not a priority for him. What if his acting life started out with a misunderstanding? How, indeed, explain that this cinephile, admirer of the New Wave, lover of Italian neorealist cinema, whose favorite film is Flight over a cuckoo’s nest , from Czech Miloš Forman, became at 22 years old an icon after playing the role of Edward Cullen, the vampire of Twilight? It is counting without chance which sometimes undoes things well. Explanation.

…

His existence becomes a huge crowd, while his dream would have been to live in greater tranquility. “I never thought I would get out of it. Such a success can forever lock you in a golden prison, and it’s difficult to get rid of an image, to become credible after such a role, which cannibalizes you. I had to think about my future choices very carefully. I had to consider everything according to my tastes, my origins and my desires. ” In 2012, year of the fifth episode of Twilight, Robert Pattinson begins a 180 degree turn. He has only one goal: to forget Edward Cullen, this invasive character with smooth, diaphanous skin and orange eyes. The young man begins his moult, bitter as the ascent of the Himalayas. Each departure from the base camp is a challenge, a form of load shedding that is part of the construction of his identity as a man and an artist.

…

Two years later, he climbed the steps of the Festival Palace again, still with Cronenberg, for Maps to the Stars , a squeaky satire of the Hollywood environment, where he shared the poster with Julianne Moore and Mia Wasikowska . He’s the star. Filming with Cronenberg gave him the confidence and daring he needed to finally get out of the Twilight box . From role to role, the actor matures, grows. Dark but deep. He filmed The Lost City of Z with director James Gray (author of Little Odessa and Two Lovers ), then High Life with French filmmaker Claire Denis – an emblem in itself – whom he adores “for his passion for cinema”. At the end of 2019, we noticed him as an apprentice lighthouse keeper in The Lighthouse , with Willem Dafoe. A singular and rough black and white horror film directed by Robert Eggers, critically acclaimed. And next July will be released Tenet , by Christopher Nolan, pope of the “blockbuster with a soul”. New proof of the intransigence of this actor apart.
